Thanks for confirming, I thought I might have been wrong. Turns out I was right and people are indeed dumb. Thanks again.

but is that 20% or 80%

[Sickie Ickie]

50% of people are dumb, 50% of people are smart, and 50% of people can't do math. :p

[The Bloodshed Brothers]

hahahaha so funny

[Just Whisper]

Sickie, does that mean I should bring my umbrella to math class?

Confimation people are dumb
The sad part is...they are still allowed to "multiply".

40% of all statistics are BS.

Here is an appropriate quote from Mark Twain:

Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
- Autobiography of Mark Twain

[Sickie Ickie]

I got my degree in media...Twain's right!

[Spooky1]

I check my Blackberry, check the weather channel forecast, check the radar map, Roxy looks out the window. :D (I'm the one who goes out without the umbrella)

If you want to be tech about it. What is the percent at which the weather men or women can perdict rain or snow? I think they use one of those 8 balls to tell the weather. I think when they say 20% chance of snow on Tuesday, they might be guessing with that 8 ball I just brought up.

[Monk]

I think the weather man/woman should be paid based on their accuracy.

40% of all statistics are BS.

actually, 45% of all statistics you hear, are in fact, made up on the spot.

[Monk]
