The safety of my coffee cup illustrates how the randomness of the Gaussian is tamable by averaging.

Quite easily tamable, though naturally shy.

A hawk or an eagle is never tamed, but a crow is more easily and completely tamable than the gentlest singing-bird.

I like to tame circumstances to my own ends (hear, hear), but if they aren't tamable I let them alone.

"Remember that, unlike the zebra, they are tamable in captivity, you'll be soaring with me yet."
