Doing the Signifi-dance

I am doing the signifi-dance - you know the dance you do when you realize that your results are statistically significant. It is like riverdance but better, it is like riverdance for academics! Yeah, one of my side projects that is going in my thesis just finished up and I ran the stats today - p = .054 baby! Well, I guess that the .004 means it isn't significant but with this topic I'll take whatever I can get.

I would do a little dance for you, but my colleagues already think I'm slightly crazy..

but stats was my favourite subject at uni (much to my surprise) and a statistically significant result is always good!

I, on the other hand, managed to work the word 'bacon' into my accounting assignment.
