        I have the book. Cute, but not really worth the money. The ideal gift for your favourite conspiracy theorist. :)

          They seem to have left out the one comparing boys reading skills compared to boy pants length. Want your kid to read better? Buy longer pants. "Statistics: Used by rascals to convince fools"

              %97.6 of all statistics are made up on the spot.

                  The video arcade revenue vs. computer science degrees could actually have some basis in reality.

                          I would not go for the book, but a couple of these are real eye openers. They make you wonder how much nonsense is out there. Example: What the New Sokal Hoax Reveals About Academia - The Atlantic[^]
