. . I have added to my statistics research guide, which contains in depth coverage of general statistics sources and United States Government agencies statistical resources, a new section that addresses the use of humor about statistics. Since statistics is a vital area of study in both the social sciences and sciences and increasingly important in the humanities as well with the growth of digital scholarship, techniques that help those who find learning statistics difficult, improve their ability to acquire its skills are very important as well. Humor is discussed as one of those techniques. My statistics research guide now has a section devoted to the relationships between humor and statistics and learning statistics with a group of database results and links to individual sources that feature this combination of subjects. The content provided ranges from comic strips and jokes to scholarly articles and books.
