*ugh* statistics rule and makes everybody drool.
   Yeah.
   Such a useful tool that people forget is a tool.

   I considered a theme a few weeks back that would be fun to
   explore. "POINTS WITH PERSONALITY". Instead of dimensionless yet
   somehow spherical nothings with woo-woo innards, let's give them
   better personalities.

   After all, statistically, I'm a number. But I got personality.
   Count me up at your leisure, but *my* number is gonna have
   character. Go ahead and cancel me out, statistical analysis
   tongue emoticon

   It always irks me when a tool becomes "the thing". And I don't
   have to get all Buddhist about it either. Numbers are useful
   things for us to use, but when that yahoo wrote "The Universe
   *is* Mathematics" and I find my friends falling for it hook line
   and sinker... I just wanna yank their shirts over their heads
   and go, "What's the statistical probability of that? Hm? Get
   real."
