In the UK there is a TV programme for very young children called Peppa Pig. One episode is about spiders and reassures viewers that spiders are very small and can't hurt you.

When the series was exported to Australia, that episode was banned.
Yes, if I should ever be bitten by a spider, I hope it happens north of the Alps!

Ref: Peppa Pig 'spiders can't hurt you' episode pulled off air in Australia – again
hahaha, I was unaware of that ... what most people ( and obviously those who produced that TV prog) don't realize, is that the smaller spiders tend to be more venomous than the larger onesDave

A police officer caught Mr. Heisenberg for exceeding the speed limit.
- Mr. Heisenberg, do you know how fast you were driving?
- Yes, and I know exactly where I am.
- So how do you explain your behavior?
- I have cancer, and I have to take care of my family.

Nobody gets #918? Not even chemists? Maybe I should move it to the Lame Jokes thread. :frown:

Is it a Breaking Bad allusion? (I never watched it.)

It took me a while - like @mjc123 I didn't follow Breaking Bad and the connection didn't immediately occur.

Yes, it's Breaking Bad. I thought there will be more fans here. :)

I am taking a Python for analytics MicroMasters course through edX and Georgia Tech. The cartoon is an obvious exaggeration, but there are times when I'm watching the lessons, thinking "This is simple". Then I get the homework and ... "Whoa! Where did this come from?"

You could do similar for Bayes. "My a posteriori confidence that Bayes was born in 1701 is around 30%."

how full is glass.jpg


usually has an engineers' view
"The glass is obviously double the size that it needs to be"

sometimes a "drinker" view

"Whatever, there's clearly room for more beer"
