White Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics.

Over the past week I got a lot of insight into what it feels like to be devoid of any kind of a life altogether. I was stuck at home trying to figure out the footlong formulae for a propability of a number to lie between 0.000 and 0.001.

Do you underestimate the capacity of such an occurance or just think in ur head.. Why the F&*@ do i CARE!
Well statisticians would argue saying its insanely important and they do care... heres why.

Starting of with an assumption that statisticians are Sex Deprived Human Beings. (likely posibility since those who werent deprived of it would not be as frustrated with their life as these statisticians are!)

So a bunch of geeky stats guys meet over a cuppa tea and try to find out the probability of them getting any action.
They start with the Basic Formula of N(a)/N(s), and to confirm their fears, the answer is 0!
So they embark on the journey of creating more formulae, each gets longer only to produce the same answer = 0!

Over the period, experience and desperate repetition proved that the formulae produced valid results (ie those that can be repeted n same value dervied!) and everybody started using these formulae for finding probabilities of other events in their lives.. the lifeless statisticians took shelter in the fact that they couldnt get no action so they might as well settle for fame, glory and accomplishment...

Because they were SO bored and so UNLOVED and So unintegrated into society, they emphasised on numbers and statistics so much ... that it came to be worshipped! [u see there are loads of people in the world deprived of action... Some specifially would know what i mean ; ) ]

Basically my point underneath the whole theory is that if only statisticians had not been so damned bored with their lives and SO deprived of LOVE and SEX... we would be spared of studying such a useless subject to start with!

But alas....

  2. I just realized!
    Emile' Durkhiem...
    it all fits in.. so perfectly...
    he's a sociologist who liked stats...
    his wife left him and son committed suicide and he did a study on how people unintegrated in society commit suicide!
    see im not wrong altogether!
