There's a philosopher - it might have been Santayana - who once said that the definition of madness was doing the same thing you've always done and expecting different results.
But what about when you do the same thing you've always done, expected the same results, and the results were different? What does that mean? That the rest of the world has gone mad?
I'm really glad this week is over. (Even if I have grading, an exam to write, a new stats program to overview, and a presentation to work on today and tomorrow)

Hmmm... I've never been sure about that saying. If you do the same thing but circumstances are different wouldn't it be reasonable to expect that you might get a different result?
