Wow .......................... that's spooky.

Slime.

Indeed - but it's coincidence - after all why would anyone planning such a mission try and be Mr Clever Clogs and advertise it - well you wouldn't would you.

Or it was created "after" the event to create something from nothing and people suck it up :thup:

American Airlines flight 11 - registration number N334AA
United Airlines flight 175 - registration number N612UA

It's easier to fall for a hoax than it is to manipulate numbers.

Rubbish.

Most statistics used in business are supported.

Whether or not they accurately show what you assume they show, is another thing.

But they may be selective, or not from a truly representative sample! Tony Blair was (allegedly) the worst in the political field: If the statistics showed there was a problem, he would usually fix the statistics rather than the problem!
