With this turn of events, you should be careful of how you talk to me. We could be accused of incest. Son.plintus said:

why can't we not be sober
Today i bought a watermelon to find out later that it was yellow inside, instead of red, but it tasted good so maybe i won't die after all
aside from the watermelon i had to explain to my flat mate that frighi is not the right word to indicate more than one refrigerator and that muscle doesn't actually delimitate cells perimeter, these last things depressed me a bit but i succesfully did 3 exams in the last weeks and i'm in the process of obtaining a nice thesis if all goes well *crosses fingers*, so i'm fine.
i also had an unplesantly close encounter with my friend's stairs, but nothing's broken
oh, also: i'm finally at a good point organizing summer vacations, so Slovakia here i come!

She thought cell walls were made of muscles?
Anyway, how can someone as light as you even fall down stairs? You should float down.. like a feather

Read carefully:
"I'm not getting laid this year."
Going to the Gogol Bordello show?
Yes but getting laid doesn't consist of throwing water balloons at unknowing people
hehehe,and nope,not going to that show.

i wonder.. what pisses me off is that the day after, at the exam, she got 28/30 which is a hell of a grade if you consider that in an exam about cells basically she didn't even know what a cell was
maybe i should learn to study everything like she does, without understanding anything of it and numbing professors with an unstoppable flow of words.i also think i should film her and make money or make people pay a ticket to come to my place, to enjoy some of her wisest moments, like when she said her operating system was Norton.

the pain in my back assures that no, i'm definitely not a feather

it should, rather, remind you that not wearing your portasedere at all times is a dangerous venture.
facts:
WAIS scores have a normal distribution, with conventional mean 100 and standard error in the range of 12-15 depending on the version (WAIS I, WAIS-R, etc).
These scores have been validated by a good chunk of academic research and are known as being satisfactory proxies of a person's intellectual abilities.
Now, I do not have distributional facts handy, but it appears that the second percentile is at around 145. The first should be at about 160, based on a look at the graphs.
So, if I only consider the distribution of ONE of the redeeming qualities of someone whom I might just trade in for a whole lot of nothing, and maintains he's a certified 175, I have to start looking for one in about two to three thousand (calculations based on approximate estimate of the distribution of WAIS scores, gender and age). If we want to be optimistic, this means three hundred people in the whole country. But I guess this is a very lenient estimate, taking into account a very large demographic, and assuming all of them are unattached (hahahaha).
If I do think about joint distribution of this and other traits, which I cannot estimate because one doesn't really know about the distribution thereof, I feel inclined to draw the one conclusion that as a statistician one never wants to draw: one-unit sample.
np: requiem, requiem
