It’s like 1-1-11, but with 2025% ((Updated 2:52 p.m.: for the record, that was a typo. I’m really not that bad at math, says the college statistics instructor)) more ones. Image Credit: Posted by Cath Walker on Flickr.
So I’m teaching a new course at the Justice Institute starting today – a online statistics course! Clearly, hanging out with Dr. Dan, statistician extraordinaire, has rubbed off on me. Also, almost everyone I’ve told that I’m going to be teaching at the Justice Institute has said, “The Justice League?” I wonder if I can get […]

Sign from the Restoring Sanity rally: Props to Dr. Dan, who brought this to my attention after seeing it here, who posted it after they saw it here.
I can’t believe that I didn’t even realize that today is 20/10/2010!! Fortunately, my Official Statistician & Tattoo Consultant, Dr. Dan, brought this momentous occasion to my attention via The Twitter ((he, in turn, was informed by Dr. Steph, so really I also owe Dr. Steph props for making sure I was informed of this)).
