Yeah, and I was talking about "Star Wars" and yesterday's menu. 
Are you really so clueless? You thought that when I was talking about 
"significant" in reference to statistical modelling and p-values I was 
referring to your everyday use of the word "significant"?

it does not mean that earth is warming. It only means that linear model 
fails to pass the significance test.
