love this example for permutation tests in Noreen's 1989 book
Book excerpt: "At a party, a self-proclaimed expert insisted on instructing everyone within hearing concerning the finer points of vodka. He claimed that there were substantial and obvious differences in quality between the finest imported vodkas from Poland and Russia and the premium and budget brands of domestic vodkas. "A skeptic proposed a test. The host just happened to have four different bottles of vodka. One was a Russian import, one a Polish import, one a heavily advertised domestic brand sold at a premium price, and one a generic label budget vodka that the host had poured into a crystal decanter. The vodka connoisseur was shown the four bottles and was then blindfolded. He was told that he would be presented with four different glasses of vodka, one poured from each of the four bottles. His task was to identify which glass was poured from which bottle by taste alone. The host marked the glasses and poured vodka into each of them."

Interesting choice from Google maps satellite view: they've edited out all the planes at gates at Heathrow and Gatwick. You can tell as every spot is empty! And the jet bridges are out connected to nothing, and there are artifacts. Strangely not for Schiphol though? Was this someone's side project?

This thing's gotta be loud to ride if I can hear it when it's 20k feet up
