Fascinating statistic


Recommended Posts

Approx 80% of the people disapprove of the job Congress is doing.

 

Approx 87% of the people approve of the Congressman representing their particular district.

 

Discuss.

That is interesting. But people can make up statistics.

 

We have all read the statistic which says Trent Edwards is more fragile than 73.4% of porcelain dolls. But how do they know how many porcelain dolls there are? And if they measured their fragility wouldn't they all be broken and then the point would be mute? Plus, porcelain dolls don't heal unless you count super glue which diminishes their value. Trent does heal. For instance, if he gets a little bump on his leg, he only misses three weeks. Let see a porcelain doll do that.

 

Unless a statisitic says something like 100% of hippies are smelly communists, but not 100% of communists are smelly hippies, you can't trust it. The area between 0% and 100% is a gray area prone to people making up stuff.

The Statistician's Blues...

 

They say 3 percent of the people use 5 to 6 percent of their brain

97 percent use 3 percent and the rest goes down the drain

I'll never know which one I am but I'll bet you my last dime

99 percent think we're 3 percent 100 percent of the time

 

64 percent of all the world's statistics are made up right there on the spot

82.4 percent of people believe 'em whether they're accurate statistics or not

I don't know what you believe but I do know there's no doubt

I need another double shot of something 90 proof

I got too much to think about

 

Too much to think about

Too much to figure out

Stuck between hope and doubt

It's too much to think about

 

They say 92 percent of everything you learned in school was just bull sh-- you'll never need

84 percent of everything you got you bought to satisfy your greed

Because 90 percent of the world's population links possessions to success

Even though 80 percent of the wealthiest 1 percent of the population

Drinks to an alarming excess

More money, more stress

 

It's too much to think about

Too much to figure out

Stuck between hope and doubt

It's too much to think about

Pick it now

 

84 percent of all statisticians truly hate their jobs

They say the average bank robber lives within say about 20 miles of the bank that he robs

There's this little bank not far from here I've been watching now for a while

Lately all I can think about's how bad I wanna go out in style

 

And it's too much to think about

Too much to figure out

Stuck between hope and doubt

It's too much to think about

That's right

It's too much to think about

Amen

It's too much to think about
