  • Statistics, M'kay.

    So for those of you who do not know the joy that is watching South Park, please let me introduce you to a very integral character of this Emmy-Award winning series.

    Meet Mr. Mackey, South Park Elementary's very own guidance counselor.  His most famous quote is, of course, "Don't do drugs, m'kay, cuz, drugs are bad, mmmkay?"

    So now that you know all about Mr. Mackey, you can appreciate my story.

    My Statistics professor sounds EXACTLY like Mr. Mackey.

    Yes, it's true.  It's very true indeed.  Everyone I've met who knows my Statistics professor and who watches South Park agrees.  Dr. W sounds EXACTLY like Mr. Mackey.

    And not only does he sound like Mr. Mackey, his mannerisms are exactly the same.  He'll be talking about probability for example.  "So, there are 15 widgets, mmmkay, we put that number in the denominator, mkay.  And then we put the number of defective ones, alright, into the numerator, mmkay.  So the probability that a widget will be, mm, defective, is five fifteenths, mkay, or one third, alright." 

    It is scary and hilarious every class and sometimes I really have trouble not laughing, but overall I do like Dr. W so I contain myself.  I am a little nervous though about having so many more weeks of classes with this guy.
