I love science, I really do. But statistics are just bloody painful - there should be easier ways to do this...Statistics are starting to make the magical thinking more attractive again.
Not really, but the least they could do is give us fucking pain killers with our statistics...

I strenuously disagree with you. Statistics are fun.
'Course, they're only fun when your stats course isn't taught by a lecherous professor.
Hmm, I wonder if they might not be more fun if taught by a rather hot sciblogger...
Always keep yourself open to multiple solutions, DuWayne. ;)
I'm with Juniper on Statistics.
Well, as long they you aren't being taught by a prof who makes you feel physically embarrassed for him.
they're a necessary evil. generally it's painful until you're introduced to the software that does everything for you. then you commence complaining about what a pain in the ass it is to set those up. :)
ie, i've been avoiding setting up this five-way repeated measures mess for over a week because i need to set up a table with roughly 2800 rows! ugh.
oh, they're absolutely key to proper experimental design, too.
