It's also interesting that the largest contribution to the "unlikeliness" of the data came from the time before planes started crashing into buildnings. If they had chosen their start and end times a little bit differently, their result would have been very different.

I believe they do take different starting times on the same data and test the consistency of results using the different start times.

Bunny, as I recall World Cup is one of the events they hypothesize in advance about and then test, though I dont recall the results.

It is also interesting that (at least as far as Ive seen) there are no disclaimers that Princeton University disavows any connection with the group, and I dont see any statements from PU to that effect. Since they are using PU servers I would think they would distance themselves from any blatantly bad science.
