Side note: I think it is not well known that for the quintessential normally distributed random variable, human height, the lognormal distribution is in fact an equally good fit. And on the other end of the variance spectrum: I became biased toward the lognormal distribution when I observed that it is a much better fit for social network degree distributions than the much-discussed power-law. It is a very versatile thing.
