Fun Statistics . . .
 

I love statistics and anytime I see one, it captures my eye and I read it. So, I thought it would be a fun thread to share statistics that we see or read. Please, keep them positive and fun as we are constantly bombarded with negative and very little positive. So, let's keep it positive and fun.

Only 30% of us can flare our nostrils. (Bet you all just tried that after reading it.:D)

I saw this today and it really made me think . . . "Children laugh about 400 times a day, while adults laugh on average only 15 times a day." I need to start laughing WAY more.

The average person spends three years of his or her life on a toilet.

One in three male motorists picks their nose while driving.


**Okay, girls....I think we already knew this!*** :D

China uses 45 billion chopsticks per year and 25 million trees are chopped down to make them.

Based on Hallmark' s number, Valentine's Day is the 2nd biggest card-giving holiday of the year after Christmas. Apparently, DBF and I missed the boat on that one. :p We don't do Valentine's Day cards. Just a simple but nice dinner.

I thought this was an interesting statistic. If so many people live north of the equator wouldn't more people have MS based on demographics? Just made me think.

Over 88% of the world's population lives north of the equator.

Approximately $25 million is spent each year on lap dances in Las Vegas.:eek:

In 1984 a cellar phone cost $4,915 and airtime was $0.92 a minute!

Seems like it'd be much cheaper to use the one upstairs. Just sayin'......

:Funny-Post: That's funny Kelly! And definitely true. I'd crawl up the stairs to use the phone if I had to. $4,915 for the phone and $0.92 a minute is just too expensive to use the cellar phone.

Hey Earl, wanna borrow my *smack* icon for Kitty?:p

He can just smack me upside the head with this...
