Title: common mistakes in statistics

Does anyone on the list know of any books or articles describing the most common statistical mistakes in the scientific literature?  I am particularly interested in statistical errors in the ecological literature, but am open to information on errors in other literature too.  I seem to remember someone on the list raising this topic several months ago, but unfortunately, I did not save the related e-mail messages.  Thank you.
