There are about 18 million soccer players in the U.S. Of those who play, 78% are under the age of 18.

Girls account for 40% of all soccer players and 47% of all high school players.

Soccer has also groan significantly amoung NCAA colleges, with a nearly 200% increase in female players since 1991.

A majority of men prefer their toilet paper to roll over the top of the bog roll, whilst a majority of women prefer it to come from behind (and no...that was not supposed to sound disgusting).

73% of people put their right sock on first.

In 1993: the average 21 year old Dutch female had 3 sexual relationships and the average 18 year old English female had 5 sexual relationships.

Cuba has more doctors per head of the population than the US

Kinsey tabulated the percentage of the population who could respond to the point of orgasm in less than ten seconds of sexual stimulation. No less than 6.4 per cent of preadolescents could achieve orgasm in less than ten seconds of sexual stimulation. And a quarter of all those tested could manage orgasm in less than one minute.

According to Fisher the typical female orgasm lasts from 6 to 10 seconds. In a few extreme cases in the various samples, it was reported that orgasm lasts "more than 20 seconds". With the general spread of human ability we may expect a record orgasm to last for around half a minute!

Brecher quotes the experience of a male participant in the Sexual Freedom Movement - "I would estimate that she experienced between 100 and 200 orgasms during the 4 hour period. Her orgasms were quite obviously physiological; there was no possibility of 'pretending'." Pomeroy notes "one woman who was capable of from fifteen to twenty orgasms in twenty minutes". Cauthery and Cole declare that "the world's standing record is 100 in one hour," though they give no reference for this remarkable accomplishment.

he most extreme consequence for any type of human activity is death: and such an unfortunate event has often occurred through coitus. Death during sexual activity was noted by Pliny A.D. 23-79, Hirschfeld, Van de Velde, Havelock Ellis, etc. It has been suggested that some Oriental copulations have been pursued with the very aim of totally exhausting, or even killing, the woman - the Japanese gokuraku-ojo or "sweet death". According to Muhammed, to die in the glorious battle abed with one's belly on top is to die a martyr of love. The Caliph Harun er-Reshid was reckoned a hero because he died of heart failure during sexual intercourse. Christian sages have viewed things differently, seeing death in coitus as a final infamy. Attila the Hun was said to have died fornicating with a blonde.

Dissatisfaction with the penis as a sexual tool has led men to a variety of measures for its improvement. Some of these would seem to be rather hazardous. The Malays of Borneo, for instance, are reported in F. Henriques' "Love in Action" as perforating the penis with brass wire spread out at the ends - soley to aid titillation of the vagina. Sometimes bamboo, ivory, or silver rods, with metal balls at the ends, can be used in the same way (Norman Haire, "The Encyclopaedia of Sex Practice"😉. Among the Malays the device is known as ampallang, palang, untang, campion. The Bataks of Sumatra actually insert lumps of stone into wounds made in the penis. When the wounds heal, the penis is lumpy, thus supposedly giving more pleasure to the woman in coitus.

As usual, I can't follow that.

However, I read today that, in the US, you are 100 times more likely to be killed by having a swimming pool at your house than by having a gun in your house.

On the other hand, is that swimming pool going to frighten off a prospective burglar?

On the contrary, statistics are like a bikini: what they reveal is interesting, but what they conceal is essential.

As for statisticans themselves, they are merely mathematicians...broken down by age and sex.

And how can you tell an extraverted statistician? He's the one looking at *your* shoes...
