    Yep, Theodore Sturgeon, who once said "Sure, 90% of science 
fiction is crud. That's because 90% of everything is crud."  At 
least, the Jargon File claims he said "crud"; I've always heard it 
quoted as "crap," but the Jargon File says that's a misquote.  At any 
rate, the usual formulation of Sturgeon's law is simply, "90% of 
everything is crap."
