Hi Brian,
poisson d'avril means "April Fools", and I had to Google it to spell it correctly. I wanted to put this because I wanted people to read it before realizing what it was. I should not admit it, but it had me going until I got to "abundance of knights". Chris

Forgot to say, the Journal Nature published a paper about tiny people hunting tiny elephants and being hunted by giant lizards, and on the other article about that article, said that it was NOT a joke. That was wild enough that I was a bit too open to dragons. That was the Flores Island "Hobbits" of a decade (?) ago.
Still the last snow patch in our yard. Chris

So I guess in France, they call you a fish if you're a fool. Hmmmm... does that mean a Poisson distribution tells you where to expect to find fish? The article was a hoot. There was plenty of April Fool's stuff online yesterday. Brian |
