Benford's Law 

Very interesting article about using the frequency of the first digit of each number in a set of numbers to determine if the data is authentic or contrived. According to Benford's Law the first digit in any number in the set of data will be the number 1 in ~30% of the numbers, not ~10% as one would guess intuitively.
