lies, damned lies, and statistics

[reverancepavane]

Doom and gloom and dark despair People dying everywhere! May the candles on your cake Burn like the cities in your wake! May your deeds with sword and axe Rival those with sheep and yaks. They stole your sword, your gold, your house Took your sheep but not your spouse This one lesson you must learn First you pillage, then you burn! Hippy Bathday to all those people born roughly 9 months and 11 days after the Festive season! That, from among my friends, is kriste, molokov_au, kwoll, and (just) starfirephoenix. Interestingly enough, the statistical blip is more pronounced if you only consider eldest children. <grin> This message has been brought to you by fond memories of finally convincing my high school maths teacher that birthday's were not randomly distributed at all.

we did some calculations along those line to avoid an epidemiology assignment :D

I take it I don't quite fit in that range ? :)

And I thought I was the only one that already knew that distribution calculation.

By the way, love the man-boobies and corsetry in your avatar. Oh, and I have not heard the Birthday Dirge in years. Thanks for reminding me of it.

And I thought I was the only one that already knew that distribution calculation. You also get a good bump (if you will excuse the expression) when you adjust the data for the previous Easter. By the way, love the man-boobies and corsetry in your avatar. It probably says something that one of the few unmasked icons of me, is me in drag. Then again, it's not exactly unmasked, as I'm holding a feathered green domino mask in my hands, so all is once more right with the world. And yes the photo was retouched to remove an unsightly plastic skeleton from the wall behind me. And to make me fit into my corset...
