Ohh! Now that makes sense.

I am taking a class this semester called Psychoacoustics, which I won't even try to explain the meaning of at this point. My teacher is from Korea. Probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met, but he just struggles getting his point across, not to mention his educational background is in engineering. Just try and imagine the many communication barriers that lie between him and I. Enough said.

Anyway, last week we were discussing a lot of statistics and came across the bell curve and all its meanings. To help us understand that each end of the curve never reaches an absolute zero (which we already knew), he decided to make a sensible comparison. He laughed, "Normal distribution never ends...so basically, it is like God!"

Yeah. Exactly what I was thinking.
