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, 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!
