: : Who said "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics"?

: Benjamin Disraeli said it, and was quoted to good effect by Mark Twain. I say "to good effect" because most people probably attribute it to Twain. It's his kind of remark. SS

Interesting article on how the quote can't be reliably traced back to Disraeli at www1c.btwebworld.com there's more in the article as well.
