So we're mode brothers, eh? That's pretty funny. And yet when I think
about a little, I shouldn't be too surprised. Hikers are probably
outside the norm, and distance hikers WAY outside. We need to do a
study WITH LOTS OF NUMBERS (for Gail). I bet we'd find a lot of
strange anomalies among the distance hiking community. None of us are
anywhere near normal! Especially that Reinhold guy, he's the most
abnormal of the bunch.<br>

not own a television, therefore I am not normal. ..

<pre wrap="">Hmm, does my recollection match yours:
"Mean" = an average, add 'em up, divide by the number of datapoints.
"Median" = a mid-point in the data, an equal number of points above and
below. Not necessarily a mean.
"Mode" = the most frequent, perhaps the most typical, response. ...
