I smell a trend…
On the same day that I (finally) post about my biking accident, PeeZed has an unfortunate interaction with a ladder and leaves. While the casual observer might not make a connection…I smell a conspiracy!
Think about it - there are just too many connections to ignore. PeeZed and I are the only two publicly blogging faculty at UMM that we know of. And that’s just the beginning. Certainly anyone with the analytical skills of an ID supporter can see that this is
a conspiracy to silence us:
- Middle-aged
- White
- Male
- Married
- Heterosexual
- Scientist
- Faculty
- At UMM
- Who are bloggers,
- Support and study evolution,
- Have highly nerdly tendencies,
- And have kids
- Who are heavily into theater (theirs and ours)
Surely this can’t be a coincidence, can it? First we learn that global warming is “a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s” and now this. Maybe I should start an on-line petition where we can all express our concern in an effort to ensure that Our Fearless Leader adds this to the priority list for Our Nation’s Security.
Yeah, that’s the ticket…
(Ain’t it amazing what you can infer from two data points?)
Currently listening to: The tremendous “Death letter blues” by Son House. I (slightly) prefer the recording on Columbia’s Legends of the blues: Volume 1, but what was playing was the version from the 4 disc American roots music set that went with the PBS series.
No tag for this post.

In a bit of serendipity, I just ran across another excellent example of some fine statistical inference: BREAD IS DANGEROUS. As he points out, research on bread indicates that (among many other fascinating facts):
And to think, WeatherGirl subjected me to some of her home-made bread just last night! We’re not even safe in our own homes!
He also says that
but I haven’t a clue what he’s on about there. I’m slightly concerned that he might be some sort of in-tee-lect-uuual, though. You never can be too careful on the Intar-web.

and you are the only two people in Morris whose blogs I frequent, and who have personally met the Desert Donkey.
This is dangerous information to hold, and I apologize for the consequences.
