These are statistics, usually quoted during morning breakfast radio, current affairs shows and by people butting into your conversation, have no real basis and are note scientific by any stretch of the word.
Usually, these statistics are versions of real statistics, with only the most inflammatory parts cherry-picked out of the real statistics to create a sensationalist response from those that hear it.

Woman: "Did you hear on the radio this morning, 87% of housework is done by women; you men are so lazy!"
Man: "O.K., so did it include around the house jobs like cleaning the gutters, mowing the lawn, gardening, car maintenance and opening pickle jars for you women?! That's just hocus-pocus and tabloid statistics!"
Woman: "No, why? Is all that important?!"
Man: *head explodes*

Get the Pseudo-Statistics mug.The following are the statistics of all the games made from these consoles, divided into the offical ESRB ratings, with the number and percentage of games made in that category of rating. Although the PC games are only the recent ones made.
Gamecube
E=132 games (49.07%)
M=19 games (7.06%)
R/P=27 games (10.03%)
T=91 games (33.82%)
Total games: 269
PlayStation2
E=302 (35.93%)
M=112 (13.31%)
R/P=134 (15.93%)
T=293 (34.83%)
Total games: 841
X-box
E=129 (29.25%)
M=73 (16.55%)
R/P=76 (17.23%)
T=163 (37.96%)
Total games: 441
PC
E=142 (16.82%)
M=104 (12.32%)
R/P=406 (48.10%)

N64
E=122 (52.58%)
M=26 (11.20%)
R/P=52 (22.41%)
T=32 (13.79%)
Total games: 232
Playstation
E=242 (36.39%)
M=49 (7.36%)
R/P=184 (27.66%)
T=190 (28.57%)
Total games: 665
Although PS2 won in total games, I bet a lot of these games made by these companies are pretty bad, considering u only see about 100-200 games at blockbuster for a single console. X-Box won as making the most percentage of M and T games, while Gamecube won in E games. And of coarse the mammoth PS2 won in no catagory for percentage, but won in E,M,T in numbers due to its mass production of games. While the PC won by a long shot in the R/P category. I'd say that Nintendo has the best game franchises; Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Resident Evil. Then PS2 with GTA, and X-Box with Halo. PC with the major companies like Blizzard, Westwood, ID.

Get the Greek statistics mug.RDN was voiced by Bill Maher on Real Time (5/21/10). Synonymous with PDN (see PDN - Proctologically Derived Number; previously posted to Urban Dictionary); numbers, statistics, budgets, etc. derived from and consisting solely of voluminous fecal accumulation, frequently embellished with politics.
The Catholic Church's tally of child sexual abuse cases committed by its clergy is a constipated RDN (Rectally Derived Statistics).

Eric— Probably 50% or 60% more height on the shots with a new trigger.
