I learnt that carrots were originally white or purple, but patriotic Dutch farmers bred the vegetable to be their national colour of orange!

Today I learned how to use Minitab ver. 14 to run a sampling distribution for my prob stat class. Also I learned a new way to figure out the standard deviation of the mean through Minitab. All in all a productive class.

Art, if you found that interesting I would recommend the book Alpha & Omega and The Universe on a T-shirt, by Dan Falk (sorry, no link for that one).
