I always find the term 'black swan' to be interesting, because where I live, black swans are the rule rather than the exception. I think this just makes the analogy even better, since it highlights how much your ability to predict events depends on your environment.



Me too :) It is not a term that get used much here (Australia).

I have to say I rather prefer the black variety over the white.
