The maths behind the paranormal
Ask any mathematician about normal distribution and they’ll be able to tell you exactly what it is. In fact, most school kids can draw you a graph of normal distribution.
As it turns out … it’s pretty easy to draw paranormal distribution too!

The text says;

This simple introduction to human sacrifice has been purchased and enjoyed by thousands of people looking to strengthen their personal relationships with the dark Lord Satan.

The truth behind the mighty and powerful Jibbers Crabst
Jibbers Crabst is the holy lobster. Jibbers Crabst is the power that brought life to the universe; including and especially bombardier beetles and banana spiders.
This is the conclusion of high priest Matt Inman, Mr Oats, of The Oatmeal. The cartoonist got to the not-keynote for the first every BAHFest West at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco.
What’s BAHFest? It is the Festival of Bad Ad Hoc Hypotheses, that’s a form of hypotheses I’m fond of here at IPS, and deals with logically explained but clearly wrong evolutionary theory. High prest Matt Inman is a master.
Special shoutout goes to the sign language supplier who stands just behind Inman. She’s given some howlers to translate into ASL and does amazingly well. She wins the audience around.

Do you doubt the lobster wisdom of Jibbers Crabst? What alternative evolutionary theory would you suggest?
Hooray! I’m helping!
Has city infrastructure ever been so helpful?
