Epic Law Of Large Numbers Fail

FOX News. Not only bad at geography, but terrible at math, too.



BillO explains that Canada has a higher life expectancy than the United States (which is true) because America has ten times the people. Now, America in fact does have ten times the people of Canada, but saying one causes the other is like saying the average temperature in Alaska is lower than the average temperature in Florida because Alaska is ten times larger.

EPIC FAIL. And with Glennsanity and the geography wizards in the graphics department, FOX News is 0-3 here lately.
