but here's the thing, I have a fascination with Statistics...
I remember, as a young child, the desire to devour Red Sox box scores in the Boston Globe. I always liked a Sunday feature called "The Maniacal One" - this guy would determine crazy little nuggets, something like
"the Sox have won every weekday afternoon game started by a lefty pitcher (4-0) but are winless against right-handed starters on weekday afternoons (0-3)"
Things like that.
and there's certain maniacal things I want to know about my life, that I will never know.
I'd like to know how many hours I've spent sleeping. What percentage of my life that is. How many times have I actually watched the Blues Brothers Movie. or Jaws. or those two combined with Back to the Future. I bet it's a horrifying number of hours. So then compare that to Actual Hours Practicing Scales. That'd be an amusing ratio.

How many cans of coke. Or a complete breakdown of what percentage of each liquid I've consumed:
Water - 50%
Rum & Coke - 25%
Beer - 15%
Milk - 7%
Orange Juice - 3%
Ah, alas - those estimates are Way Off, I just know it, and it's frustrating.
