Fun With Statistics

I’ve never seen a graphic representation of statistical analysis as brutally honest as this one. Too bad they didn’t include one that shows the percentage by county, or city. That would be telling, especially if it were presented as an overlay.

But the graphic lies. It is undated and not time-stamped, and assumes that Kentuckians don’t travel outside the borders. In reality, the statistic would likely change hourly or less, and the graphic would show a blur at Kentucky’s boundaries. (I know, I’m picking nits. Been hanging around the BRC too long.)

As an aside, Kentucky is not a State, and neither are Massachusetts, Pennsylvania or Virginia. There are only 46 States in the U.S. These four are commonwealths. There’s a bar bet for you.

Fun facts to know and tell on The Overnight Open Thread.

Yikes! What a walking disease. Had I seen this when I was little I’d still be suffering nightmares, especially because I dream in color. (I’m still working on dreaming in stereo.)

Thank God TV was all rabbit-ears black and white back then, unlike the wide screen hi-def surround-sound in-your-face entertainment system known as
The Overnight Open Thread.

The one who yells the loudest is usually the one that’s wrong, but in this case the one who’s yelling also has teeth and claws and a nasty disposition when pissed off.

Not sure what the problem is. Perhaps the guy is out of uniform – just not festive enough for the occasion. On the other hand, our uniforms are available here, but there’s no mandatory requirement that you wear them for
The Overnight Open Thread.

Don’t do it. Please.

Please don’t step the Moai. They don’t appreciate it, and it annoys them. When the Moai get stepped, a trunkful of unpredictable happens, and you’re not going to like it. It’s much worse than breaking a mirror.

If you step the Moai, your karma will be affected, and it will take years to regain your former status. Think of it as being downdinged for a decade, in real life, by everyone.

Most of us will never see, let alone be compelled to step, the Moai, yet night after night, with impunity, we step The Overnight Open Thread.
