To piggyback on this, a YouGov poll in 2015 showed 41% of Americans believe that dinosaurs and humans coexisted on Earth. Baffling.

If you have 23 coworkers there's a 50% chance that at least 2 share a birthday. If you have 75 there's a 99.9999% chance at least 2 share a birthday

Wouldn't the average person have 2 legs, but a person has less than 2 legs, on average?

I don't even know what I'm saying, to be honest.

China, a country that is of roughly similar size to the continental United States, has one time zone: Beijing Standard Time. This means that when it's 6 o'clock in the nation's capital, it's 6 o'clock almost 3,000 miles further west, in Kashgar.


So you could theoretically walk across the border from China to Afghanistan and fall back 3 1/2 hours.

There are 7,896,649,158 humans on earth, according to Worldometers this morning. 74,000 years ago there were approximately 8,000 after the supervolcano Toba erupted.

Maybe not. Going on 12 years for the Saints, not sure if they will ever get back there.

Only time will tell.

The space ones always leave me astonished. Like the size of shite, or our solar system/sun compared to gigantic ones out there. It's pretty crazy to think about.

Maybe you’re thinking the median person has 2 legs, but the average legs per person is definitely less than 2.

Or is that what you’re saying?

Now I’m confused.
