a: The normal distribution ~
b: Gandalf of Statistics
What:
"Different names are common in different disciplines; for example Gaussianis often used in engineering. I see this as being like Gandalf from the Lordof the Rings and The Hobbit. He is a central character in the stories andmany things to different people, so he gets many names: Gandalf the Grey,Gandalf the White, Mithrandir, Greybeard, Ol ́orin, ...The normal distribution is like the Gandalf of Statistics..."
