This is probably of most

This is probably of most interest to SETI users, so I'll post it here - though I'm sure binary radio pulsars would have come into the picture as well, if they'd been discovered in time.

Some sad news I need to pass on...

Richard, thank you so much

Richard, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm just reading it all now as I have been preoccupied elsewhere for the last couple of days and am catching up at the moment. I'm sorry I didn't see this a little earlier.

Your mother was obviously an amazing person and she would be very proud of the way you have 'shared' her with your friends and associates. Please take some comfort from the fact that there would be a large number of people all around the world who never knew of her but are touched by what you have written and shared about her.

Sincere condolences,
Gary.

Cheers,
Gary.

Strange Horse Day A joke

Strange Horse Day

A joke from my medical student days was ( cleansed of offensive Aussie idiom ) :

Q :'What would you deduce if you saw a pink zebra ?'
A : Some silly fool has painted a zebra pink.

Q : 'What would you deduce if you saw a unicorn ?
A : Some silly fool has spiked my drink.

Q : 'What would you deduce if you saw a pink zebra with a unicorn ?'
A : It must be Strange Horse Day ..... :-)

[ superficial meaning : I have no idea why, so I will just label it to sound authoritative ]

The base lesson/commentary/context is that upon the likelihood of making certain relatively rare diagnoses, given the known prevalence in populations etc. Thus launch into discussions about how to combine probabilities using different assumptions/dependencies. Today I have had a Strange Horse Day. It happens every blue moon ... ;-0

Cheers, Mike.
