I've just seen what is probably the worst use of statistics ever. An item on the news said " 23% of teenage deaths, on the road, involve young people". Sorry but I was so incensed by this I had to tell someone, and no-one else is up yet.

What % of the girls killed were female? Did the article say? Obvious to us in the USA is that they were driving on the wrong side of the road!!!

At least 36% of those deaths involved living beings.

Makes you wonder about the remaining 77%?
Perhaps Zombies and Vampires enter into the equation??
