Really? Do you have statistical evidence that it's true?

Damn Russell for a polymath and an mba i sometimes wonder, give credit to twain where credit is due...i prefer:
“People commonly use statistics like a drunk uses a lamp post; for support rather than illumination” – Mark Twain
"With regard to cave diving, the great thing is to be carried where you could not have imagined you would ever be, and then to come back alive."
"Wilderness. The word itself is music." Abbey, Desert Solitaire
Yup - that's one of my favorite Twain quotes too.
Three statisticians went deer hunting. They saw a deer on a hillside not far away. The first statistician fired, and hit a foot in front of the deer. The second statistician fired, and hit a foot behind the deer. The third statistician leapt in the air in delight, yelling, "You got him!"

Twain himself attributed the quote to Disraeli (in "Chapters from my Autobiography," North American Review, no. DCXVIII), but I prefer another, simpler quote, which my undergraduate statistics teacher told us the same day he told us Disraeli's quote: Figures don't lie, but liars figure.
Funny, the gist of this hijack is that statisticians can make numbers say whatever they want them to say. But Andrew is all, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

Great. What if there's a mathematician who is a land-owner of one of the sites and they read this? Now they're all pissed that people are calling them names and painting them in a bad light. They'll shut down access for sure.
This whole thread should be moved to a private forum.

... as we have come full circle.

Damn, it finally makes sense!! I KNOW that Poly is a bird, so all of you are doing birdmath.
