I suspect that "Schlemiel is also Yiddish" is indeed the view held by the
Statistics Department and of Perdue University. I also suspect that at least
one member of that Department thinks at least one other member of the
Statistics Department is a schlemiel. And there is also a high degree of
probability that at least one member *is* a schlemiel.

Present company excepted, of course.
