Has he given up already? I was hoping he was good for another couple rounds.
So much for him lasting a year. He did seem to be on a once-a-day posting cycle, so I suppose it's possible he just skipped a day?
I'll dump the ammunition I was saving up, so I don't leave it stuck in my head and presenting a hazard:
Someone who uses an appeal to their authority as a mathematician to justify why they don't understand statistics doesn't come around every day. At least, when
I call something voodoo, it's because it's arbitrary, and meaningless, and I don't understand it. A
real Discordian would recognize that statistics is just another grid we superimpose on Chaos. You need to pick the appropriate grid for the situation, but that's true of all grids.
When I tell my co-workers "We need a voodoo priest on staff", they understand that I mean "that thing that just happened was weird and scary and it didn't make any sense and I wish someone would make it go away." And maybe I get a laugh or two.
But we don't have the budget to hire a proper priest, so I get the hatchet, Clive gets a goat, and we all put on blood-splatter-resistant ponchos and do what needs to be done.
...well, it's actually a spectrum analyzer or oscilloscope, not a hatchet, and we use ESD smocks instead of ponchos, but the rest of it is real.
