Tiger,Tiger
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
This evening I was commenting on a Facebook post that ended up mentioning tigers.
Prior to this there had been comments in the newspaper about the closure of Ringlings circus,and in looking up a video of tigers on Youtube I happened to remark on the comments about the fate of zoos and circuses and there treatment of animals.
I was responding to a Facebook comment which read 'I don't like tigers' posting the video showing them swimming and reposting a comment which alluded to their capabilities among the big cats.
I then looked up the poems 'tyger,tyger' and 'the panther' and posted them respectively to Facebook and Youtube.
Staying up late these past few evenings I have been forced to search the tv for something interesting.
Tonight I happened upon a film I'd never heard of on Horror channel:
'Burning Bright': about a tiger which escapes from a circus!
The title coming from the poem I'd just posted online!
