So the world has kept revolving and I've kept busy...
Have you ever felt that the world's orbit and your path don't quite mirror each other...
Well welcome to my world...
Or mostly my Statistics class...
What the Hell do I know about statistics?...well the answer is the same now as it was 15 weeks ago...
Not a whole heck of a lot...
Chi square still sounds like a tasty dessert...post hoc is what happens after too much tequila...pseudo experiments are bad first dates...and true experiments are way too complicated and everything you think you need to control turns out to be only a few of the extraneous variables that will screw up your research...which results in things that are not statistically significant but may have a large enough effect size to matter...
Who have I lost?...
Go ahead and re-read it...it won't make a difference...
Trust me...
Other than the little gold nugget of "Question Statistics and never believe things people tell you are certain!"...not too much was retained...
Could have saved the $1,000 bucks and got that out of Bartlett's quotations...
Or in a Box of Cracker Jacks...do they still make Cracker Jacks or have they been abolished due to trans fat or carb numbers?...
So while I was setting up an ANOVA test...which has nothing to do with stars..and correlating data...I figured out another thing to NOT be when I grow up...
A Clown...
They don't make any sense either...and their effect size usually has a negative correlation with normal people...
But I can't say for certain...
Oh and "Catcher in the Rye"...what's all the hype about?...

There is no hype with "Catcher in the Rye" trust me...I have pondered this very thing since the book was shoved down my throat as one of the great literary masterpieces...Mr. Salinger, I do not want to hear about it!!!
