On the other hand, people are always saying I’m “mean” and I don’t think they are talking about statistics, for some odd reason.

And uh, isn’t he basically calling the other chicken a deviant? (little more word-play for you math nerds) that’s not a compliment to most people…especially early in a relationship….
Wow, that makes love a fact!
And I love the expectant look on the statistician chicken!
See also xkcd for more statistics and love. Great strip as always, Doug!
aww, that totally swept this math nerd off her feet! =)
Very high praise from the mathematically inclined. This made me smile.

Statistically, that makes them adequate…
being a deviant is high praise indeed!
Come on Antonio, statisticians never conclude to fact. Wonderful comic nonetheless.
A real statistician would need to proof this proposition.

The hearts are that little detail that make the difference. Good one!
Thanks to the title of today’s cartoon, I’ve had the song “Love Cats” stuck in my head all day.
I’m taking a night course in behavioural statistics so that’s where this cartoon came from.

Sure, stats are no facts, but they are treated like facts by most people/trolls I know on the net.
I’m taking stats now so this finally means something to me, which is really the only reason anyone goes to college, to get all the jokes.
