WTF! Asinine Statistics
« on: March 31, 2008, 08:06:20 PM »
I watch a lot of Food Network and the show "Unwrapped" has the most absurd stat for each product they profile:

And that's enough _______ to wrap around the world at least ________ times.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

And that's enough Pasta Fazool to wrap around the world at least 10 times.

You know, any time I hear those kinds of comparisons, I just think, "man, that's a sh*tload of _______" Guess it works!!! :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I would give you enough sugar so that if the grains were laid end-to-end they would reach from mars and back 15.782 times!
