Chance. Stupid, dumb, blind chance. Just a part of the strange mechanism of the world, with its fits and coughs and starts and random collisions.

How do coaches stay even-keeled at the start of a season?
They begin with a uniform distribution!

Why did the statistics student download the chapter on continuous distributions from her eBook instead of just reading it on the class website?
Because for that chapter, her teacher said to use the pdf!

Come with me and we shall go
a place that only n has known
a kingdom distant and sublime
whose ruler is the greatest prime
a land where infinite sums can rest
and undergrads shall take no test
a place where every child you see
writes poems about the C.L.T.
where cdf's converge to one
and every day is filled with sun.
where we can jump time's famous hurdle
and watch Achilles beat the turtle
and every stat plucked from a tree
is, without proof, U.M.V.U.E.
where joy o'erflows the cornucopia
in this, the land of Asymptopia.
by W.J. Youden (1900 - 1971)
