Job Insecurity

Uh oh ... I just read this at Not Exactly Rocket Science:

Say the word 'statistician' and most people might think of an intelligent but reclusive person, probably working in a darkened room and almost certainly wearing glasses. But a new study shows that a monkey in front of a monitor can make a reasonably good statistician too. [emphasis added]








Dang, now I have to be on the lookout for monkeys after my job. Didn't see that one coming.
