Friday: And now it's cold.

At least one of the math things I thought through over break works the way I wanted it to.  These plots are the distributions of 100k samples drawn from Poisson and Gaussian distributions with mean = variance = 8.5 * 10**i
So mean of 8.5.

Mean of 85.

Mean of 85000.
The Poissonian distribution turns into a Gaussian, and a +2-sigma deviation comes up ~2% of the time as you'd expect.  If this distribution is the number of times a thing happens a day, there should be like six of those kind of days a year.
