Really interesting Mathematica app that demonstrates how easy it is to lie with statistics (or at the least mislead). Apparently the NY Times recently reported that if you invested $10K in 1929 in the stock market, but only during republican [democratic] administrations you'd have $11K [$300K] today. I'm not republican fan, but this app makes it clear that this is a very fragile statistic and changing any of a number of items, changes the conclusion drastically.

Apparently, the head of the Princeton ESP lab believes that it's been proven to such a degree that there's no more reason to bother studying it. I agree with the conclusion, but have some problems with the premise.
