Statistics Never Lie......

I tried this on the geebee, but they didn't really take to it. So, I'm starting it here:

They say 3 percent of the people use 5 to 6 percent of their brain
97 percent use 3 percent and the rest goes down the drain
I'll never know which one I am but I'll bet you my last dime
99 percent think we're 3 percent 100 percent of the time
 
statistics don't lie per se but may not be reflective of the intent it's trying to show.

Statistics can also be massaged to show 2 things almost polar opposite of each other and have it stated with conviction. Politics is the biggest example of this.
 
"Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical." Yogi Berra
 
They likely reached this conclusion after an extremely expensive government study. 47 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Is it 47%, 64% or 99%. There's relative uncertainty about that data.
