Appreciation and perspective
By David Leonhardt
Did you know that... - 99% of convicted felons are milk drinkers? - Of all the subjects born between 1825 and 1875, and later drank milk, there has been a 100% mortality rate. - Milk has been linked to violence amongst schoolchildren: 98% of bullying occurs within a day or two of drinking milk. - Milk is liquid, just like turpentine, car-wash run-off and plastic cutlery heated to 900 degrees. Milk should not be taken internally. If you live in the real world, you know that none of those "facts" are true. But if you've worked with statistics, you would know that they are not all that false, or at least not all that uncommon, either. The moral of this story is to be very careful what you hear or read. Ask questions. Make up your own mind. The media will tell you the world will end tomorrow, but they are probably just crying over spilt milk. |
