Looks like my data was a bit stinky, it's down to 95% now.

Devanmc · 03-20-2011, 07:52 PM

so whats that say about the ones in the humi?

oh well they taste good.

T.G · 03-20-2011, 08:04 PM

I dunno - ask the source of the statistic, after all, there's famed writers in most cigar books and all cigar magazines reporting that to back him up.

Devanmc · 03-20-2011, 08:50 PM

well its a shame i have opinions about things ive never actually smoked then...

64 percent of all the world's statistics are made up right there on the spot
82.4 percent of people believe 'em whether they're accurate statistics or not
I don't know what you believe but I do know there's no doubt
I need another double shot of something 90 proof
I got too much to think about

American Society of Microbiology study revealed that only 75 percent of women and 50 percent of men wash their hands after using the toilet. Only 33 percent of middle and high school females wash, and only 8 percent of males

Only in America can a group of people whose job approval is around 25% have a 90+% retention rate.

You guys read Freakonomics? Facsinating book.

The average human produces 25,000 quarts of saliva in a lifetime, enough to fill two swimming pools.

And 98.7% of Americans don't know the rest of that song:

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

82.4 percent of people believe 'em whether they're accurate statistics or not

Too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It's too much to think about

They say 92 percent of everything you learned in school was just bullshit you'll never need
84 percent of everything you got you bought to satisfy your greed
Because 90 percent of the world's population links possessions to success
Even though 80 percent of the wealthiest 1 percent of the population
Drinks to an alarming excess
More money, more stress

It's too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It's too much to think about
Pick it now

84 percent of all statisticians truly hate their f**kin' jobs
They say the average bank robber lives within say about 20 miles of the bank that he robs
There's this little bank not far from here I've been watching now for a while
Lately all I can think about's how bad I wanna go out in style

And it's too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It's too much to think about
That's right
It's too much to think about
Amen
It's too much to think about
