Megalomaniac and amateur statistician (is there a difference?)

Quite possibly.

The International High Conclave of the Brotherhood of Megalomaniacs in
Washington is accredited to discern the difference, but it takes them years
to work it out.  They are currently working on Newton.

It takes them years to do anything! They've been processing my membership
application for *ages*. I'm having to make do with the curatorship of
.loc.au in the meantime.

Even then, they'll
need the assent of the International High Conclave of the Brotherhood of
Amateur Statisticians in Washington before anyone will believe them.

Well, that shouldn't be a problem. They manage to process 97.3% of the
applications for assent they receive within 5 working days, and 99.67%
within 10.

Cheers

Richie
