7 out of 10 women prefer... crazy stats!
Recent research by the Institute of Banal Ideas has indicated that 7 out of 10 women, from an exclusive survey of women who post on PPRuNe, prefer men who post on Jet Blast. Apparently they are "hot" (the women or the men, I don't know).
I just love this survey and admire the statistical sample.
For those who love stats or the simple truth that good stats are far better than the truth, I ask for your best statistical truth.

I bags being one of the ones who are broken down by sex rather than age, that sounds like a much better way to go out.

In the Southern Hemisphere pigs tails have an anticlockwise twist compared to 99% of the pigs in Nevada.

80% of people say they don't understand any statistics, 20% say they understand some. It's only the other 12.2% that actually have a deep knowledge of the subject.

Assuming Rudolph was in front, there are 40,320 ways to rearrange the other eight reindeer.
If we were to up-turn the Millennium Dome at Greenwich, London, it would take 3.8 billion half-liters of beer to fill it up.

That sounds so much more than 1.9 billion litres.
