Steve,
With all due respect, the Chive got from somewhere else, probably Izismile, and I’m not sure where they got from but I credited The Chive.
Apparently, you’re more likely to get struck by lightning than to date a supermodel. That one guy that holds the world record for surviving the most lightning strikes must be disappointed as hell.
@Mark Jr – Hard to do that when you’re dead… :-/
Natty: That was classy of you; wasn’t trying to single you out–there’ve just been a glut of retreads here lately, with articles from Cracked and other sources “inspiring” posts here without so much as a mention and not nearly enough difference between the two to be a coincidence (the 10 creepiest sex scenes in comics, and it’s 80% the same? Nothing else made the cut, really?), and it’s become a pet peeve for a long time fan of the site.
Maybe I’m missing something here but I’m pretty sure that thes statistics are total BS. Take for instance the 1 in 10,000,000 odds of becoming president of the United States. considering that there are approximately 300,000,000 people living in the US, that would mean that 300 of them are going to be President of the United States. I’m pretty sure that isn’t right…right?
I abosolutely love that you have better odds of being President than you do of getting attacked by a shark! lololol
