mind blowing statistics

Someone my wife recently met works at the place that manufactures gift cards for various national businesses. He said 1/3 of them go unredeemed. That would explain why everyone's selling a plastic gift card these days.



So what do you know that is mind blowing? Please no urban legends from e-mails: "Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:dood you gotta see this!" I think we all have seen it already (and I suspect that we all have that same aunt who can't resist inflicting her entire InBox on us).

Re: mind blowing statistics

You guys are officially no fun.

Nashville Metro public schools' graduation rate was under 60% a couple years ago, and is now still under 70%.
Meanwhile, 20 miles down the road in Williamson County it's over 90%.

You finished in 3rd place (eliminated at hand #9821859318).

80 hands played and saw flop:

- 14 times out of 17 while in big blind (82%)
- 12 times out of 46 in other positions (26%)
- a total of 33 times out of 80 (41%)

Pots won at showdown - 6 out of 11 (54%)
Pots won without showdown - 8

Re: mind blowing statistics

I was watching Glenn Beck on TV and decided to hit the wiki...so in honor of Al Sharpton's silly comments about Romney and Mormonism, I give you stuff that I as a traditional protestant was surprised to learn (even if it's not all that mind-blowing):

-Mormon bigamy ended over 100 years ago
-Mormons didn't allow any black priests until 1978
-it was technically legal to kill Mormons in Missouri until 1976
