More Description Mind-blowing statistics and crazy connections--from the number-crunching genius behind a popular blog. Based on findings on Correlated.org, this surprising and very funny book presents bizarre-but-true correlations between seemingly unrelated things.
Based on daily polls and statistical analysis, in CORRELATED, Gallagher reveals:
* People who prefer Miss Piggy to Kermit the Frog are more than twice as likely than average to have tattoos
* People with body piercings are twice as likely as the average person to have deployed a fire extinguisher
* People with bumper stickers on their car are more likely than average to have square danced
You'll never look at poll results or scientific sound bites the same way again!
