Spurious Statistics

The start of an occasional new series.

Statistics show that gullibility is now more common than it was seven years ago. If you know someone gullible, then treat them to one of our spurious statistics.

For instance:

In certain conditions of extreme cold, you can lose 10% of your body height through the top of your head. This is the reason that people indigenous to cold climate areas are not particularly tall.
