There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

Fun:Normal
“”Normal is the average of deviance.
|
—Rita Mae Brown[1]:115 |
Normal is what everyone else is and you are not. Normal is what you want to be and fail. Other times normal is what you don't want to be, here you also fail.
Since "normal" exists within certain ranges (usually one statistical standard deviation away), it would be highly abnormal for someone to be normal in more ways than a certain statistical percentage.
Is it normal to have hair on that part of your body? Is it normal to think these thoughts?
Confused about your identity and normality yet? Then this article can be considered to have done its job. You are probably more normal than you think, yet at the same time, more abnormal than you think.
Mathematics[edit]
Mathematically, you are quite normal if you live at right angles to everything.
