Shouldn't the number of orange yarn balls on the rack have decreased when Liz picked one up to look at/feel?

That should obviously be 'height to the nearest inch', otherwise you'll have a very boring dataset. Damn the lack of edit button.

No two human beings are exactly the same height? Really? That doesn't sound right. Where did you learn that? Well ok that wasn't entirely true as people are constantly changing height slightly throughout the day. There will be an instantaneous moment where two people are the same height as they cro...

What's the difference between median and mean? Mean = Add up all the values and divide by the total number of items in the collection. E.g. for mean height of 10 people add up all the heights and divide by 10. Median = Value of the middle item in the collection (or the mean of the middle two if the...

I'm really hoping Greg and Liz got enough or if not at least were able to get some kind of contingency in place. O...

I'm proud to say that I didn't know the answer to that question.

Although missing that little smidgen of knowledge does not seem to have improved my love life noticeably.

Nightbane is really easy tactics wise, it's more a healer gear check in my opinion. Unless the rest of the raid are overgeared the problem is likely to be the healers running out of mana before the end of the fight. Assuming you don't all get nuked on the air phase (A pally with consecrate helps wit...

Same issue here with IE6, using firefox I was able to get to the comic but probably only because I have no plugins at all (not even flash) installed on it so none of the ads loaded. People may call me mad but I prefer IE6 for general browsing and just use firefox when I'm visiting a site I don't ent...

I wonder what happens when they receive a letter addressed to "J Duggar"
