Or Not Le Scum
Figure the odds. The chance of you being a Liscomb in the US are 1 in 860,000. It’s only 1 in 800,000 in Canadia.
Thanks to Dynastree, we know that:
- There are only 99 Liscomb households listed in US phone books.
- The largest percentage (21 percent) live in Maine (of course).
- There are Liscombs in only 23 states.
- Besides Maine, New York is the only other state with more than 10 Liscomb households.
- Despite being sandwiched between Maine and New York, there are no Liscombs in New Hampshire or Vermont, although I know of some ex-Liscombs in the former.
- There’s only 356 people in the US who share my surname.
Of course, not having a land line, I’m probably not counted in their census. Nor is my mother, who has an unlisted number…
And before we leave the topic, just a brief shout-out for the town of Liscomb, Iowa and especially to the great province of Nova Scotia, which not only has a Liscomb, but also West Liscomb, Liscomb Mills, Liscomb Bay, Liscomb Harbour, Big Liscomb, Little Liscomb, Little Liscomb River, the Liscomb Game Sanctuary, Liscomb Wilderness Area, etc, etc!
Now don’t ask about the distribution about the given name “Ornoth”.

On the topic of odds, it might be worth noting that if you buy 50 Powerball tickets every week, you would produce a likely win once every 30,000 years. Oofie!
