I'm certain 99.86% of Nasa [snip]

Seventy percent of this country [snip]

Where in hell do you get all these numbers from?



The first one is from an ivory soap commercial from years ago.

Nope. 99.44% pure.



I think you're right, I wonder what commercial I got the .086% from~
It can't be nine out of ten dentists, oh yes I remember now...

The second is certainly open to argument. I heard it on CNN
during a discussion of religion in this election. I didn't look
into it further then, but it appears 50% is a better number.

But the original point that 'born-again' is a dominant belief system remains true.



Or do you just make them up as you go along.



I don't believe in exact numbers, only approximations.

..086%?

Heh. It took you approximately 36 hours, 1 minute, and 17 seconds to
locate a web page that contained the text "99.86% Pure" ...

and you couldn't even get it right.

Fuzzy thinking again: 9 out of 10 that we asked - or - 9 out of 10 of
all?

Nine out of ten dentists who tried Camels prefer women.
