Cosmological Gibbs sampling and fun with priors

In this talk, I will yet again review the cosmological Gibbs sampler that is used for much of the in-house CMB analysis, mostly for the enjoyment of those of you who are new here and haven't heard a similar talk before. Towards the end I will talk about some odd phenomena this framework gives rise to that makes it clear that Bayesian statistics isn't always straightforward.
