You know it's going to be an interesting day when you realize it's faster to calculate t, dF, and p by coding for all the statistical comparisons by hand, rather than relying on the (otherwise fantastically whiz-bang knock-up number-crunchingly beautiful) program to do it.
It's also interesting to consider how sometimes, your statistical analyses can generate almost as many numbers as your original data-set, and that really, you're off only by about a half log.
And this is why bio-statisticians get paid the big bucks: most normal mortals don't want to do this sort of thing themselves.
It's also why they're fleepin' insane, I imagine: most normal mortals know when to go "AAAAAAAAAAAIGH!" and run away.
ETA: Okay, now how the bloomin' fergin' unholy heck am I going to graph all this?
