I hate it when people misuse or overuse the word "random."

Yes. This merited a journal entry.

That was certainly random.

*ducks*

Though seriously I have to ask...what prompted the entry? I'll throw a minor rant into the mix. I hate the phrase 'random chance'. Errr..isn't that pretty much the definition? Allow me to answer myself: Yes. One of the definitions of chance is "an unpredictable event". One of the definitions of random is "unpredictable". Another is "governed by or depending on chance".

I wonder how long it would take to bludgeon somebody to death with a statistics text book?
