Shooting at Virginia Tech

Anyone with a decent education knows you can make stats say anything you want.

4 out of 5 dentists surveyed recommend this toothpaste. They don't tell you the dentists polled have no teeth, or are dead, or if it's just that they recommend ANY toothpaste, and the toothpaste being touted is, of course, A toothpaste.

I'm just not bowled by spouting stats. It's like a goddam Spout Circus.

The purple part resembles the mouth, therefore this researcher failed to list the weaknesses of his statistical mode, therefore the study is invalid and no evidence exists that blips may or may not be eaten by this round yellow-purple thingy.

Probably not, since it's a long way from 1983.

Any chance I get to use this quote from Baseketball, I will:

Denslow: Now wait a minute, hear me out! Now you kids with your loud music and your Dan Fogelberg, your Zima, hula hoops and Pac-Man video games, don't you see? People today have attention spans that can only be measured in nanoseconds.

Since I was getting ready to graduate from college back then and Dan Fogelberg was in fact before 1983, I suspect you were what? 4 years old?

Use to. When it first came out, when I was a teen and college student. Wasn't that before you were born?
