Everyone loves meaningless figures and statistics, don't they? Some vaguely enlightening nuggets of information. Since I just worked out that my hair grows at thirteen billionths of a mile an hour, I've got us started. Please, no tedious old oft-quoted stuff.

That's the stuff that belongs here. Although not when I was just having some ice cream.

1 in 350 boys born will suffer from "Hypospadias" (mislocation of the urethral opening)

surgery is required to re-locate the opening to the correct position
Posted 18 years ago2005-10-27 19:38:33 UTC Post #144085
Not all hypospadias will need to be surgically corrected.

The determining factor is whether the boy would be able to pee standing up. Apparently, being able to do so has great impact on the male psyche.

I concur Doc, some are not so bad but the phycological impact gives good reason for cosmetic surgery so as the boy may feel comfertable amongst other boys (less likely to feel the odd one out) in one case I have seen the opening was at the base of the penis, re-location was a success with the use of the fore-skin to make the urethral tube

I doubt that figure is at all accurate. You might be thinking of illegal warezing and whatnot, but not even close to 75% do that on their computers.
I seem to have no fun statistics at the moment. I'll dig up the old MAD mags and look through em later.

Aproximatly 1 10byte sting in every yottabyte (2e80 bytes) creted when hard-dirves are manufactured have a Immunization for Windows.

Unfortunatly, those whose HDD's have this string, never know it. and hence cannot share its windows fixing goodness with the world.

I recounter with a quote from your counter:
Name Symbol Value Base 16 Base 10
yotta Y 2e80 = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 = 16e20 > 1024
still the same

and you only call them Kibi, Mebi, Gibi, Exbi, Yobi, and all the rest in between, if your some wired guy who gets yelled at for using Binanary SI prefixs instead of IEC standard electronic SI prefixs

A full 2 day's worth of mapping yeilds just about 15 to 20 seconds of gameplay. :|

Oh, and i've started with Milkshape and models. Over there, a day's work is more like 2 seconds, but at least you can use the same model over and over - unlike maps. :)

It took a decent 209ms to assemble this page. Yes, I adjusted the thresholds for the descriptions again, since the front page often takes in excess of 400ms.
