stay here on ATOT a while...you'll find plenty of weird stats
labour stats by the US goverment. Maybe check out the time use link.
I've never heard of the International Association for Time Use Research. Hmm, maybe I should use that as part of a pickup line.

The tip of a 1/3 inch long hour-hand on a wristwatch travels at 0.00000275 mph.
The number of possible ways of playing the first four moves per side in a game of chess is 318,979,564,000.
Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour.
In 1933, Mickey Mouse, an animated cartoon character, received 800,000 fan letters.
--------------
I drive 48 miles each way every day to work, that's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway so if you just look at the 7 lanes I am not in, that means I pass something like a new car every 40 feet per lane. That's 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles.
That works out to be 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars. Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper to bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars.
That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars I pass every day. Statistically, half of these are driven by females, that's 18,000. In any given group of females 1 in 28 are having the worst day of their period.
That's 642.
According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449.
According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98.
And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.
According to the National Rifle Association 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing.
That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem has seriously considered suicide or homicide, is having the worst day of her period, and is armed.
Flip one off because of a stupid traffic maneuver? . . . . . . I think not.

her's an interesting statistic: 9 out of ten statisticians agree that if you ask 10 people a question there will always be at least one person that disagrees with the majority.
Also, 79.3% of statistics are made up.

You need 29 people in order for the probabilitiy of at least two of them to share the same birthday be greater than 1/2.
Heard this on NPR....
80% of all US Currency (paper) has traces of Narcotics on them, according to a research study. Makes you want to think abouth who's hand did your bill went through before you got it...
And no, I don't think smoking up the bills will be give you the same effect as smoking narcotics.

My bad. It's actually 23 people. The proof is fairly mathematically intensive, but the result is clear. Anyways, this is not really statistics, per se....its probability
