Count On It: 14 Hard-To-Believe Numbers
Today's site from the indefatigable folks at Cracked.com offers their latest
round-up of more than a dozen jaw dropping figures. Gentle Subscribers in need
of some lovely trivia for the lean-over-the-back-fence neighbor, the party
circle this weekend, or the water cooler crowd on Monday will find something
modestly apropos in this selection.
"Let us give you the cold hard numbers. Want to know how much the most
expensive parking spot costs? How many pandas have twins? How densely populated
the most densely populated place on Earth was? Of course you do. We've got
answers. You can count on it." - from the website
Ranging in topics from the rate of annual injuries from falling TVs to the
staggering average consumption of whiskey in 1820, this intriguing list covers
a lot of bases. Presented in poster style of the 25 words or less variety,
these quick stats can pack a surprising punch. The cost of a NASA spacesuit,
the personal fortune of Andrew Carnegie, and the billions of minutes viewers
spent watching The Office streamed are among the delightful factoids in this
slightly manic presentation.
