Question to all the Londoners reading this and on my flist? How successful has the Oyster System been? And do you agree with the praises lauded in this article? Curious minds want to know.

Off-topic, just in case you wondered if it is possible to manipulate statistics? I've got proof, apparently there are software products that aid in data and statistical manipulation. Why do it yourself, when your computer can do it for you? (Google - SAS Systems - Statistical Manipulation or Data Manipulation.)

One of the most useful books I've read was a little red book--not Chairman Mao's, but one called How to Lie With Statistics. Of course, it's really about how to tell how you're being lied to w/statistics. Clued me in good. It was in my high school library--1 of several great books I read there that were never assigned in any of my classes.
