2012's best pop culture moments

2012 was a great year for statistician Nate Silver, who writes the New York Times' 538 blog, which offers probabilities on election victories. He correctly predicted this year's presidential race winner in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Then, his book "The Signal and the Noise," jumped to the top of bestseller lists and was named Amazon's best non-fiction book of the year.
