Scientists won’t figure this out until 2064, but the color white actually _attracts_ food particles. The more likely the food is to stain, the greater the attraction. Newton’s universal law of gravitation states that:

_F_ = _G_(_m_\_1 \* _m_\_2) / _r_^2

However, the equation will be updated as:

_F_ = _G_(_m_\_1 \* _m_\_2 \* _M\_b_) / _r_^2

where M\_b is the _white-to-stainability ratio_, calculated in Mayses.

If he’s wrong? Come on, he said he knows everything about everything! I mean, my word, he nailed my exact question when all I said was “??” (I wanted to just say “?”, but apparently posts have to have the minimum of two characters).

I’d take any betting advice he gives to heart.
