Let's see
Fried chicken is the most commonly ordered food in sit down restaurants in the US. - dunno

The Rottweiler is the dog most responsible for human deaths. the golden retriever is the dog least likely to bite people. - Both true

Ireland really is the same size as Lake Superior. - really dunno

Madrid is the highest capital city in Europe. - probably

Monaco has the shortest coastline in Europe. - lol

the sheep-to-human ratio is highest in Australia. - true IMHO

Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza everyday. - I think so.

You are more likely to be killed by a Champagne cork than a poisonous Spider. - O...K, that's weird...

Cat's Urine glows under a blacklight. - ?? doubtfull

Winston Churchill was born in a ladie's toilet during a dance. - watever

Parasites count for 0.01% of your body weight. - no, just no

3 people die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue - I really really really doubt this one

142 people were injured in 1998 by not removing all pins from new shirts - not

58 people are injured each year by using a sharp knife instead of screwdrivers. - not

31 people have Died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in - people must yet reach that level of stupidity

19 people have died in the last three years believing that christmas decorations were chocolate - yeah, right... NOT!

Hospitals report 7 broken arms this year after cracker pulling accidents - A what? Hell no.

101 people since 1998 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet - much much more...

18 people had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth - erm... wtd?

A massive 543 people were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth - made up, there are more stupid people

5 people last year were injured last year in accidents involving out of control Scalectrix car - don't think so

8 people cracked their skull in december 2002 after falling asleep while throwing up into the toilet - Nah.

If there's one thing I've learnt in life is...

Never understimate the stupidity of a human being

Admittedly some are WAY out there, but a fair share of them (particulary the injury related ones) are believable because they are so unlikely to occur.

For whatever sense that last paragraph made...and with that I bid y'all goodnight!

Heh heh heh... it's amazing what kind of statistics are out there... unless people are lying about the statistics?

Kakero · 10-06-2004, 08:57 PM

Are these real statistic? some of them are quite unbelievable.

Sigmar · 10-07-2004, 02:54 AM

I didn't make them up, I found them all together on another site.

Still may not be real though.
