I couldn't pass this up without comment, since statistics affects our
daily lives so much. :-)

Contrary to your clever line here, I'd like to mention that statisticians 
tend to be among the greatest "statistical liars"  --  not intentionally,
but due to lack of understanding of the subtleties of statistics.  Don't
let someone with statistician credentials intimidate you into abandoning
your common sense.
