Hey everyone!

This is the stupid statistics thread. If you've heard a stupid statistic...an interesting statistic....or a statistic that you think was a complete waste of the funding....then post it here.


I'll start it...



The average person eats 8 spiders while asleep in their lifetime...

Women over 35 have a .5% chance of getting married

One hundred thousand dogs are killed each year falling out of pickup trucks.

Potsy from happy days- his uncle created the Heimlich maneuver.

can it be statistics which are obviously misinforming or an allout lie?
if so, my favorite was in another thread where a poster stated that 70% of all americans cannot identify their own country on a world map. these 'valid' statistics were based on a website this individual was shown briefly and late forgot the address

i have read so many others, but that one shines above the rest in stupidity.

you realise i will never sleep again...

Considering the total pop of the planet each individual has on average half a penis

86.35% of all statistics are made up (i.e. fictitious).

God help me I love useless crap like this

40% of statistics are completely useless to any relevant conversation.

99% of women wonder how fat their asses look atleast once
every three days.

I feel so smart now...

*throws up*
*Looks around bedroom suspiciosly*
*calls pest controller*
*starts wearing surgeons mask to bed*

(I only like the 'spider' drink that is soft serve icecream in softdrink/soda or whatever you call it)

It's more like 11 percent and it's young people who were asked

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/11/1120_021120_GeoRoperSurvey.html

"About 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn't even locate the U.S. on a map. The Pacific Ocean's location was a mystery to 29 percent; Japan, to 58 percent; France, to 65 percent; and the United Kingdom, to 69 percent."

"If you make jump at the same time all the population of China
...they can generate an Earthquake."

87% of girls online are actually men.
Most people hav an above average number of legs.

You know 33% of statistics are made up on the spot?

Oh, and the number of people over 20 who are still living with their parents have doubled in recent years.

I guess, with a 1 in 200 chance, they should just give up, right?

A high percentage of couples meet at work places

1 out of 6 people who are hit by lightning die
3 out of 10 men are left-handed or ambidextrous
1 out of 10 women are left-handed or ambidextrous
the average person secrets 4 quarts per day when they have a cold
Most breasts recorded on a woman-8
Most testicles recorded on a man-5
On average, left-handed or ambidextrous people live 7 years less than right-handed people
72% of heterosexual couples try screwing in the B
of these, 67% enjoy it.

How's that for quirky statistic?

Wooooaaaahhhh nanny!

Superman!!

calm down, i'm guessing only 2 were functional and the rest were probably immature and supefluous

It doesn't matter, he can still say to any other man "I got more
balls than you ever will", and he'll be right!

lol

If you are left handed, experts say you are in one way or another related somehow to a tribe of people living in England back when England was only tribes.
Apparently this specific tribe of people were the first, and only group in the world that were left handed then. And since left handed-ness is a hereditary trait, it was passed on through the generations, and eventually dispersed among the world's population
