The quote has been attributed to mark Twain and also to Benjamin Disraeli; I'll have to check references... What it means in a nutshell is that statistics can be used to manipulate the truth in any way the person crunching the numbers sees fit...the damnable part of it is that on the surface, the "fact" will appear to be truthful "based on the statistics"...other related quotes, or more appropriately, colloquialisms, are "the numbers don't quite add up", "statistically speaking, that may be true", and my favorite political rejoinder, "the statistics clearly show...". statistics show NOTHING except what the person crunching the numbers WANTS them to show. Period. Now all the legitimate, ethicalscientists and statisticians may flame me.... RH
When aircraft are queuing up to land they fly around in some kind of well defined, circular pattern to avoid collisions. There are rules about minimum separation between planes so only so many can fit in the pattern before it's full. The quote comes from the Movie "Top Gun" after the Tom Cruise character requests permission to fly by the [airfield's control] tower. The callsign for his aircraft was "Ghostrider" so the quote translates to: No, you may not fly your aircraft past the control tower because there are many other aircraft nearby waiting to land.
