@mrjunge Sorta. Take a long paper with lots of complex data, and then bury the statistical cheat way down deep in the methods.

Why even bother with statistics if you're just going to do the experiment until you get the answer you want?

On Wednesday morning, we will determine whether Jesus and/or David Brooks ever existed.

Seeing a museum burn is like watching a million grandparents die.

I'm so proud of my first hatching that I had to make a movie of my babies.

Well. Today is a photomicrography day -- I have to figure out how to take pictures of baby spiders.

Fish are easy. Imbed 'em in gelatin, they're going nowhere. Spiders *scamper*.

I'm probably going to swear a lot. Stay away from my lab.

The kooks are gathering in October.

@srsly @DavidFutrelle Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is where the cool kids are hanging out. They're going to invite me to one of their rad parties any day now.

Any. Day. Now.

The first cohort of my arachnolegion has hatched. Fear us. https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2018/08/30/behold-the-beginnings-of-my-spider-army/

Cat tried to kill me. She’s been underfoot all day, & tried to help when I was stripping old wallpaper — I’m standing on a chair, reaching up to the ceiling, when she literally jumped underfoot. I was either going to squish her, or fall to the floor.

Shoulda squished her. Ow.
