Fun With Statistics

Felix Baumgartner had quite a fall on Sunday.



From this we can generate the following truthful statistics:

1. 100% of all humans who have jumped from 128,000 have survived
2. 100% of all men who have jumped from 128,000 have landed on their feet
3. Statistically a larger percentage of those who have fallen down stairs have suffered fatal injuries than those who have jumped out of a capsule at 128,000 feet above the earth.
4. More human being have died from being beaned at the plate in Major league games than have died from Jumping out of a capsule at 128,000 feet

Keep this in mind when you read the polls.

We have talked about the interesting use of polls and stats. This weekend we saw a story that claimed that 1 in 5 self identified conservatives who have already voted in Ohio voted for Barack Obama...

How many “conservatives” were polled? 1000? 100, less…

So the infamous “early voting” poll sampled . . . 13 voters in OH. I do not joke.
