It is a USB doomsday device controller, found here for $40
Had very little idea of what it was, but I knew for certain that as soon as I saw a link that it could be bought from Think Geek. Those guys have everything...so long as it's nerdy.

Assuming you mean what I think you mean, it is as shown in the diagram: 11-59. There are a few people claiming to be over a thousand years old, and a few under 6 but I discounted them and went from 1940-2000 for the data.
I think he's looking for the actual standard deviation. You know that pain in the butt equation where you subtract the mean from each and every age given, square each answer, add them all up, divide it by the number of ages given minus one and then take the square root of it all.
Luckily I'm assuming you have all the numbers in excel and you can just run STDEV for the numbers...
Edit for pic of equation.

And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity...... |

I was hoping that wouldnt be the case (great explanation there btw), the numbers were just munged from the database via a bunch of queries into a temporary spreadsheet to aid visualisation with a simple graph. I dont really feel like doing it again unless there is an exceptionally interesting reason for it

Also, in an ironic twist on something you threatened to do previously, I'm going to make another promise.
If the package is not signed for, it will be returned to me. If it is returned to me, I will set out everything that is in the box of import and burn it. I will watch it go up in flames.
The video that I shoot of it will be posted to YouTube. I will email you a link, as well as post links to it in open forums.
Remember when you threatened me that, if I sent you anything, you'd burn it and send me a link to the video, Matthew? Well, this way, you'll get what you want (burned models), regardless - MagickalMemories |

We don't call them 'nuts,' nor do we call them 'crazy' or 'looney' etc. If we do that, they'll get upset about wearing the pink jumpsuits.

Good to know there is not a bunch of 10 year olds playing warhammer. In my opinion there should be a age limit ex.12 and up mainly cause of the slaneesh boob models!!!
and the fact that I'd get in s*** for swearing in my flgs.
