directly from CRFH

I'm sick today again, so I went to CRFH to catch up on what happened before I knew they existed. I saw this one, and it reminded me of stats and everyone's AP's.

Mike: I still don't know how you can study for hours and hours and hours without getting crazy and going into a killing spree?

Dave: Well, I'm worried. I studied hard in high school and got excellent grades. And I keep studying just as hard, but my grades are now CRAP.

Mike: No, I don't mean you don't have good reasons to keep on studying like some kind of maniac, I'm just sating that I CAN'T. Everytime I try to study for a test that is more than a day away, my mind tricks me into doing other stuff instead.

Dave:Why does the standard deviation take the square root of the average of the sum of the squared differences between X and X mean? Do you remember?

Mike: No, but I *do* remember that the toilet is dirty. Must clean toilet.

Dave: Wow, I didn't think that would work.

Mike: Must scrub thoroughly...
