5 star statistics from the bottom bathroom drawer
Posted on 10. Jun, 2010 by Kristyn in Research
I am pretty confident that once I press upload I will be desperately calling the help desk, begging them to weave their magic and delete my first communication to the blog-o-sphere.
You only live once. So I have thrown caution, literally into the eye of the tornado.
Each Saturday I religiously read Good Weekend’s Number Crunch column by Professor John Croucher.
I am in constant awe of what people say, don’t say or stupidly share with researchers.
I then came across another source to feed my stat addiction and somewhere I never thought.
Having recently had a baby my sister needed a little extra absorbency. I was completely what the? Libra manufactures their packaging with stats. I mean everything you should know and the bits you do not really need to know but make your life fuller. It was an instant fix for my stat addiction.
I wanted more and to my delight the bottom drawer came up with the goods.
Now I think it would be cruel to get you this far and not share my fem care stats, here are 5 of the best:
- During a kiss as many as 278 bacteria colonies are exchanged – this has made me reflect, deeply on a much favoured past time of the pub pash and dash
- It is estimated that at any one time 0.7% of the world’s population is drunk – I personally was not involved in that survey
- 23% of all photocopier faults are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their buttocks – a note to all working in our office: sanitiser will be purchased and placed near all three copiers as of tomorrow
- The average human body contains enough phosphorous to make 2, 200 match heads – quite handy if you want a sneaky fag, just strike the ciggie along your leg
- No two spider webs are the same – nature holds me in constant amazement
So what is the craziest place you have seen stats?

I know what you mean about stats and useless random facts.
It’s weird but I find myself buying the New Scientist whenever I am on a plane or facing a long journey to absorb as much as I can.
I figure the desire for it is like “brain candy” almost. However, I firmly believe that 83% of all stats are made up (hehe)
The weirdest place I’ve seen stats was stats for breastfeeding written on a whiteboard up against the window of a an Ante-natal Unit in a Hospital.
(I used to work in Medical IT for 10yrs).
Bizarre, and I found that it only accounted for 2.61% of Ante-Natal Units in Scotland.

Kristyn, this would be the strangest one I have have ever seen – how long do things take to breakdown? http://bit.ly/aAaIxs

Most fun blog I’ve read in a while. I think your fascination with feminine hygiene products is a little distrubing however!

Not sure where I heard it but apparently 87.2% of all statistics are made up!

Stats, apart from figures made up to convince you to buy things, which you really don’t require, I think Urban Dictionary also explains it well:
“The study of percentages, bars, graphs, and charts, all in an attempt to make some sort of logical conclusion out of a bunch of numbers so that even more percentages, bars, graphs, and charts can be made.”.
Nice blog Kritta!
