So, 80% of 20 people have 80 bananas. 20% of the bananas are overripe and about to spoil. 80 gorillas want to eat the bananas but 20% of the gorillas will fall asleep. Does that mean that ONE FIFTH of all pointless blather is nonsense or FOUR FIFTHS of all people are gorillas?

LMAO! I'm sl glad I stopped by here on the way home from work. That was the most pointless, hysterically funny thing I have sean all day long.

Happy hump day, people. Thank the diety of your choosing that it's over!

80% of statistics are just made up, and the other half are outright lies!

It's the 82.23%/21.77% rule, with a quantum overlap.

It might if anyone could figure out what it actually meant. It is "Bean Counter Spin". Bean counters don't know how to do anything useful, computers can count beans. So they make up shit like this to try and justify their existence. It is called "interpreting the data" or some crap like that. If you have ever worked for a company and watched bean counters destroy it, you will know that it is more like "misinterpreting the pointless nonsense". It's all in the numbers, never mind common sense (which ain't all that common!!).

Its actualy 20/80.  20% produce 80% of the work.
