Statistics

[Andrew MacLean]

Reward yourself with some skate wings and black butter .. or shark steak .. (I also like dog fish)

then see if you can come up with a googlewhack with KC connotations. i didn't know that lists of words didn't count, but if John says so , well I guess it is so.

Gareth, my days of reading through PhD theses and Masters projects are now long past. Not the thing I miss most!

All the best

[GarethB]

I,ve got three now

Collegue went on holiday yesterday leaving me to read the work done by her two students

Head hurts now.

[Andrew MacLean]

They say that to start a PhD you have to believe that the world is interested in the question to which you have chosen to find an answer.

To finish it, perhaps three years later, you have still to be interested in the answer yourself.

....or remember what the question was!

[GarethB]

I find it hard to remeber what the question was by the time I get to then end of these reports!

[Andrew MacLean]

But, do you still care?

[GarethB]

I suppose I do care, otherwise I would not be doing it

Have you heard this statistics joke?

3 statisticians shooting in the woods. One sees a deer and shoots but the bullet goes way off to the right. Second one shoots but the bullet goes way off to the left.

Third statistician starts jumping up and down and shouting, "We've got 'im. We've got 'im!!"
