Greatest quote I 've ever heard that references statisitics:

Vin Scully:
"Statisitics in baseball are like a light post to a drunk. . . They may provide support, but do not necessarily provide illumination. . ."

And whereas statistics is boring, a course in statics will make statisitics seem like fun. . . The engineers out there know what I'm talking about. . .

 

If you don't return to class pretty soon, you, too may become a statistic!

Damn I hate statistics ... except when it helps me bank $$$ at the casinos in Vegas baby!!

 

It's not exactly Physical or Organic Chemistry, these are classes one actually needs to attend to get an A...I certainly don't feel that way about stat, once a week is more than enough.

 

Well stat is just so simple, but it's somewhat tedious...that's why I hate it. Classes like this don't allow you to demonstrate your actual intelligence, because anyone with half a brain does well with this class.

 

That class always makes me so sleepy. I usually ended up ditching that class.
