In the early days of the World Cup draw, in the 1930s, organizers from FIFA gathered around a
table and drew lots from a hat. Once it was Jules Rimet's grandson Yves who got the job of picking
the lots. Until relatively recently, the draw still consisted of men in suits from FIFA doing the
honors.
A few weeks ago I subtly hinted at a new project that was going to revolutionize the site, bring
the planets into harmony, and redeem all the time we've wasted on cheap North Korea jokes. It's
still a few weeks away, but I'm hard at work in the background getting the parts in readiness.
Sadly, this means the foreground is going to continue to be a bit sparse for a while, but don't
worry.
