To the practicing statisticians out there: Is BLUE at all relevant in the field? Even if you can formulate your data/problem as a linear regression, wouldn't maximum likelihood estimation still be the preferred method in most scenarios? Edit: Of course Bayesian analysis is of equal relevance here!

New Zealand also has penguins. But there is no (map) love for NZ.

I imagine Waterbags could also be a great one.

This is Dark Souls all over again... Though I wouldn't mind a game using these (or similar) icons instead of messages in text form.

People how know what an expectation value is are typically not so fond of gambling. Reminds me of the story when a physics conference took place in Las Vegas and resulted in a really low take for the casino.

I work on quantum systems coupled to noisy environments (noisy as in causing random fluctuations). Atoms coupled to a light field are my specialty. Anyway, I just got invited by a predatory journal in the field of acoustics, vibrations and noise?!

Except they know that they would have to cover the apple in a thin metallic layer for it to be observable under an electron microscope :D
