The DMF Thread Of Useless Statistics

[Grampa]

95% of all people living will die.


the missing 5% were those people who like nickleback ( those people were never considered to be living to start with)

At least 0.0087% of DMF members can't spell statistics.

100% of OP's say there's little supporting evidence

I tried my damnedest last Friday

[Speeddog]

Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.

I think that's way way low.

That's 784,080 square feet. I'll approximate that as 784k medium pizzas.
There are ~314 million people.
So that's 0.0025 pizzas per person per day.
If we bump that up on the premise that only half the population eats pizza, IE babies, old, infirm, don't like pizza, etc.
We get 0.005 PPD.
That's one pizza every 200 days.

[Monsterlover]

I could not go 200 days between pizzas

It hurts me that you would even post something like that

I think that statistic should be read as 18 acres of pizza per person per day.

I believe the wings on that bird can flex something like 26 feet.

46.5% of men say they ALWAYS put the seat down after they've used the toilet...

88.7% of women say they ALWAYS find the seat left up after a male has used the toilet...

Guess the other 53.5% must have to pee more frequently.

18 acres of pizza? Now the is a farm I want to visit. I better stop off at the store one the way home and get some pizza seeds.

90% of Competitive Sailplane pilots will retire the same way. Dead in their planes.

Here's something a bit closer to believable, 100 acres a day:

That factors my previous calculation to one pizza every 36 days.

I'm thinkin' that's still low.
