Friday funnies.

Eugene Volokh of UCLA Law wonders online about the sexual orientation of those law review citations. Are lesbians over-represented in 2 of 6 women; and hey, why are so many of them found in the sports world anyway?

Lesbians are also often said to be overrepresented in other fields (chiefly athletic, in my experience, though not only that)...


Hmm... now he's got me wondering about his experience. Luckily, a helpful commenter steps up to set Eugene straight:
This leads to the conclusion that your data is not suggestive of anything, and that as a matter of statistics this would be proven as your sample size increased.

I can't tell that if that's a sample size joke or not: If you're serious, come back and let's talk when your numbers have grown a bit bigger.
