Stop me if you've heard this one..

Q: How do you know if a statistician is an introvert?

A: While talking to you, he stares at YOUR feet.

This was the joke the substitute professor told at the end of class tonight.

In 2003, my former boss introduced me to ultrarunning.. running races longer than a marathon (26.2 miles). He's a statistician and had a T-shirt that said "When all else fails, manipulate the data".

I think I mentioned the book store where I finally got my last required book for class had finger puppets of Freud, Einstien, and Van Gogh (with both ears). It also had T shirts with designs of 'Pi a la mode' with the Greek symbol Pi.

I tell ya.. if this is the life I'm going to be leading... so help me God.
