My favorite example of how to lie with statistics:

"Of the 117 billion people who have ever lived, 8 billion of them are still alive. Therefore, the chance of dying is not 100% but rather only 93%."

"The place most people die is in their bed. Beds are thus the most dangerous place in the world"

I have never died, therefore all previous data points show I can't die. Good science!
