Previously on Tips, I had posted links to research on a study
that measured the length of human penes and how your
familiarity with the metric system might make a man be filled
with self-esteem or, well, deflated.
While searching the Science journal website for stuff that should
have been directly referenced in a mass media outlet (but I digress)
I came across the following summary of the article I referred to
earlier:
http://news.sciencemag.org/biology/2015/03/how-big-average-penis
What makes this article stand out is the graph that plots length
(y-axis)
against Percentile Rank. Depending upon the "sensitivities" at one's
institution, this could be a great data source especially in statistics
for identifying (1) the median, (2) the interquartile range, (3) the
semi-interquartile range, and (4) the range of lengths for the middle
95%. Alas, the y-axis is in centimeters which might confuse some
people (leading some to yell "Holy Crap! I'm Huge!!!"), so an
additional exercise converting centimeters to inches may also be
useful. ;-)

P.S. The photo the precedes the article is kinda funny.
