How to lie with statistics
I've been tagged by Laurie.

LogoThere are
8
people with my name
in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?

Hmmm....this would make my name look pretty unique. Fortunately, I'm married to a statistician (Cue horrified looks here. Yes, he really did complete an entire degree--a graduate one at that--in statistics. And yes, I do love him despite this.)
Of course, I also found this out:
There are 511,668 people in the U.S. with the first name Heather.
Statistically the 104th most popular first name.
Yes, and all of us were born in the seventies. Okay, that part I'm making up.
Not that I needed a survey to tell me this. I went to pick up three-year-old pictures at Target yesterday. The woman who waited on us, the other mommy there to have photos done, and well, me....yep, all Heathers.
Kind of like the 80's movie. But in a suburban, 30something, totally unhip kind of way.
