Everything's time-until-completion can be described this way: project completion times, homework, going to the airport, the duration of foreplay and sex

Minor nitpick: More accurate to say that everything with a lot of independent variables that have about the same level of impact entering into it looks like a bellcurve.That's almost all time-until-completion issues.
