Student's T-Test

So while wikipedia-ing (why yes, I did just do that to the English language) the t-test to check up on a couple of things I found a nice little anecdote about how the Student's t-test got its name. Of course its validity is of question because it is from wikipedia, but I really hope it is the truth. Apparently Guinness, in its quest to make the best beer, would secretly hire top biochemists and statisticians to monitor the beer and overall contribute what they could to the beer making process. Well this at the time was Guinness's big trade secret, so when one of the statistician's came up with a new test, he had to publish it under a pen name. Ergo, it is the Student T Test not the Gossett T Test. Moral of the story, all good statistics and all good beer obviously go hand in hand.
