Disraeli’s quip, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics” could do with “and Facebook” tagged onto it, although it wouldn’t roll off the tongue so well, I have to admit.
I just received a spam mail notification from Facebook’s Social Profile app, where friends can rate you. Here are my results:
… your strengths:
best travel companion
kindest
best scientist
… your weaknesses:
best companion on a desert island
Apart from the fact that I’m far from being a scientist – maybe the egghead and specs give that impression – how can I be the “best travel companion” and then worst “companion on a desert island”? Aren’t they the same thing?
In the words of Pauline Hanson, please explain…
