The book "Stat-Spotting: A Field Guide to Identifying Dubious Data" by Joel Best goes into a lot of this kind of stuff. Some of the examples here (and in that book) seem so obvious once you hear/see them from the right angle, but it can actually be surprisingly easy for otherwise intelligent people to be deceived by data trickery.
