Fibbing about statistics 


Did you know that Hank Aaron and I have hit a combined 755 home runs in Major League Baseball?

If you think that statistic is useless, then you should be equally suspicious of this statistic in USA Today stating that 50% of those surveyed in a poll say gay unions "would be an improvement or have no effect" on society. As Eugene Volokh points out, that 50% number doesn't mean anything if one doesn't know what percentage say gay unions would be an improvement and what percentage say it would have no effect.

THIS JUST IN The Beatles and I have 27 number one hits combined.
