Elisberg Statistical Center of American Research
Stats, News, Tidbits and More
A full-service information enterprise
An independent division of Elisberg Industries, the Center provides much of the useful and almost all of the useless information to the company. The research library is one of the finest and most extensive in the world, with state-of-the art Internet, television, DVD collections, books, publications, and cloud-based computing. Its facilities are located on secluded grounds conducive to intense study and especially long periods of wasted time.
Among its many studies, the Center's now-famous research into the Ten Commandments allowed for rewriting #4-6.
In addition to its in-house work, the Center also provides its services to outside organizations and individuals, many of whom actually asked first for the the information. It has clients worldwide.
The most common question the Research Center gets is, "Why are you telling me this?"
The motto of the Elisberg Center of American Research is "It's amazing how so much useless information you've gathered during your life comes in handy at some point."
