All kidding aside, Darrel Huff's little book ''[[How to Lie with Statistics]]'' is THE classic book on the topic of statistics and their misuse. Anyone in media (or encyclopedia writing) should be required to read it 2 or 3 times per decade. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:12, 20 October 2007 (EDT)

:Ha ha ha well I guess I'm a little behind in my reading then :) That book opened my eyes, and really I think it's good for anyone to read. I've never been able to watch a drug commercial (or listen to a political speech) the same way! [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 18:18, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
