    I knew someone travelling the Newell on a Pioneer coach, back in the day. There was a sheep licking a star picket, on the side of the road. The driver pointed it out to the passengers, telling them that's where steel wool came from. My then 17 year old, friend, believed it for many years after.

    When I was up in Brisbane, my mate took us to South Bank and we walked along and the was an intricate wooden building, I can't recall what it's purpose was,( it might have been an oriental style building, too long ago to recall) my mate turned to his wife and told her it was carved from a single tree. She said "bulldust" and turned to me and asked "is that true Mario?'. I couldn't help myself and said yes. She then believed it had been craved from a single tree as now 2 of us confirmed it

    Not sure the scientists or reporters are that good at maths sorry.. couldn't let this one slip thru to the keeper!

    "The survey of more than 1000 adults in April was commissioned by the Innovation Center of US Dairy and reported in Food&Wine earlier this month, but went viral after being reported by the Washington Post yesterday.

    Its most surprising revelation was that seven percent of Americans - or 16 million of them - believe the colour of the milk is linked to the colour of the spots on a cow."

    So out of 1000 americans surveyed, 16 million of them are stupid sorry.. couldn't let this one slip thru to the keeper!

    They have a pretty vague understanding of sample size, and extrapolation of results too.

    No.

    Seven percent of the sample surveyed were stupid, so the researchers speculated that if the level of stupidity in the sample was typical of the whole population then there would be 16 million stupid people in America.

    I think that there is clear evidence that they have grossly underestimated the level of stupidity in the population as a whole.
