Laugh to Keep From Crying

Kinda dramatic title, but that's life as a grad student. lol

Seriously...I've been seeking sources of comfort and amusement to keep myself from going crazy from stress and exhaustion. Here's something funny that happened yesterday in stats lab about this scatterplot from a computer program made of data points in the shape of stars (pretty cool):

Teacher's assistant: "Now what do you notice about this scatterplot?"
Class (at the same time): "There are stars."

Yes. That is exactly the answer she was looking for. And the shape of the data points is so important. HAHA!!

*Note: You can also make the data points into hearts, triangles, etc.

I'll try to paste the scatterplot here someday.
