    A few statistics you might not know...

    43.7% of all statistics are made up right on the spot (I don't know if that means you can discard almost 44% of the following?!)

    23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their buttocks. (And you thought noone would catch you!)

    40% of all people who come to a party snoop in your medicine cabinet. (I'm getting a lock for mine!)

    99% of the pumpkins sold in the US end up as jack-o-lanterns. (That's really kinf of sad... for the pumpkins!)

    And finally....

    85% of men who die of heartattacks during intercourse, are found to have been cheating on their wives.

    Now, let that one be a warning! ;)

    heard something about the last two weeks of the year being the busiest for photocopier repairs due to office parties.

    On that note; three popes have died while having sex (hopefully not at the same time).
