Did you mean Poisson, or was that deliberate? Ummm... I'd think that
any system that aims to predict random numbers would be "poison" -- our
universe just doesn't seem to work that way ;-)
Of course people will always try -- but basically reality seems to insist
on information only going one way -- and not faster than C, at that...
(Yes, there's a little bit of interest in Physics showing there --
I do have periods of being addicted to arXiv, though I sure don't
follow it all... )

I'm too far north to really have winter (12 deg south). We get a dry
season. It still gets up to 30 deg C or so every day, but it's not too
humid so we all love it.
