I for one appreciate this Tommy Thompson reference.

I remember doing a school chemistry project on chromatography. Through a family interest in a local bookmaking concern (my weekend job was a price assessor at the track), I got to visit the swab analysis labs at the Australian Jockey Club in Randwick. My teacher knew about my job, and because of the inside knowledge displayed in the assignment, thought I'd been fixing horse races.

Good links, thanks for posting them. I'm looking forward to "Idiots Look at the Data".

What Tommy Thompson reference? dimly, TBV
