Happy Halloween to all those who celebrate, but especially to my fellow statisticians

#Halloween #Statistics

A graph with 2 panels. In the upper panel is a normal distribution probability density curve, with "Normal Distribution" written underneath it.

In the upper panel there is another curve, a bit like the on above, but with smaller variance (so the curve drops more steeply), and the sides are joined up at the bottom with a wavy line that hovers just above the X axis. The curve has 2 dots near the top, which look like eyes, so the whole thing looks like a ghost.

It has "Paranmoramal Distribution" written underneath it.

Holly lowered herself down from the skylight. Down here on the exhibition hall floor there were no alarms, except on the cases themselves.

She had two hours before a guard did his rounds, and she had a lot to do. First she tugged on the looped second rope, and carefully lowered the large box.

Next, she gently nudged two of the display cases, just a few centimeters at a time, keeping a close eye on the thin wires that connected them to the alarm system. When they were 45 centimeters apart she stopped.

Next she opened the box, and lifted out the display case inside it. It was modeled exactly on the same style of case that the museum used, and even had small wear and scuff marks. Delicately, she pushed it into place, and then used a small puffer to put just the smallest amount of dust on the top.

Opening her case, she made sure everything was in position, and then closed it and locked it. Then she put her tools back into the large box and sealed it.

She was just hooking herself back onto the climbing rope when a gravelly voice came from behind "Most people break in to steal something."

She spun around and shone her torch trying to see where the voice came from. "Over here", it rattled out again.

The light settled on an open sarcophagus. Inside, the mummy was sitting up, watching her through the bandages. She gulped as it stood and walked over to the new case.

"Interesting. Where did you get a dragon skeleton from?"
"Err... I made it? It's modeled on Mom."
"You are half dragon?"
"No, I'm adopted."
"By a dragon family."
"Well, Dad is human."
"I see. And this?"
"Art?"
"You are not sure?"
"Uh, no? It's just that...um..."
"I'm a four thousand year old mummy?"
"Yes."
"And your mother is a dragon. It is All Hallows as they call it now."
"Oh."
"Anyway, the guards will be coming by soon enough, and you had better be on your way. I will watch what happens with interest.

Holly got going.
-----

"I tell you, Miche, this place gets creepy at night."
"Look, Nick, it's just a museum. It's not like the exhibits are going to get up and move around."
"I dunno. I mean look at that mummy. I swear it has moved since we last did our rounds."
"Don't be stupid, how could a four thousand year old corpse move around?" Michelle shook her head. "You are such a scaredy cat. How did you end up a security guard anyway?"
"I figured guarding a museum was a pretty safe job?"

The two guards continued on their way, arguing.

Behind them, the mummy looked over to the taxidermied bear, and put a finger to where the lips would be. The bear shrugged.

Happy Halloween!
Weil ich spontan diese Idee für eine ungewöhnliche Klingel-Deko hatte, habe ich nach langer Zeit mal wieder zu Acrylfarben gegriffen. 😅 Derpy aus KPop Demon Hunters.

#MastoArt #kpopdemonhunters #Halloween

Selbstgebastelte Halloween-Deko am Briefkasten. Auf Pappe gemalter Derpy, der Dämonen-Tiger aus dem Film Kpop Demon Hunters. Es sieht aus, als würde die Klingel auf seiner Zunge liegen.

Didn't do a #Halloween pumpkin for many many years. Today, spontaneously, I decided for the first time to try a #Pacman pumpkin.😬

Will take a few more times until I will be satisfied with the result... and I might do some web search for inspiration next time...

Have you seen cool #IT #nerdy pumpkins?

Pumpkin with a Pacman carved out, two dots in the middle, and a pacman monster. The pumpkin is on the floor.
