Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's the thread!

Not sure what the Random thread is all about? Well, here's the answer to all your questions.

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.



Congratulations to everyone who made Part 4 such a kickass thread!!!

I just swallowed a mint leaf. 😱 I didn't mean to..it was in my water and inhaled at the wrong time!!
 
I still do not know how to do the multiple quote thingy.

Click the +quote icon on each post you want to quote and then the regular quote on the last one to type in your response.

You put mint leaves in your water?? Hmm.. never tried that.

Oh hey, multi-quote worked!!!
 
Apple Pie ala Mode.

Trueeeeee I agree with you. Its pretty pathetic. Actually Stephen Jay Gould the natural scientist (now deceased) who came up with the idea of punctuated equilibrium and wrote a series of books on natural history has written a whole section on statistics and essays on people's errors in interpretation of statistics.

In his book Bully For Brontosaurus, he wrote a famous essay about his battle with cancer and how when the doctors usually spew off statistics about chances of living, people often misinterpret what those statistics mean.

Its a real good essay if you ever get a chance to read it. It has nothing to do with his usual topics of natural history, but everything to do with statistics and very interesting. its a good read for someone who is suffering from cancer too, regardless of whether or not they agree with his other views on things such as evolution. Why??? It is something that will lift your spirits if you've battled cancer and show you that a lot of times those statistics on chances of living are misinterpreted due to lack of understanding of simple concepts of mean, median, and mode.
