Most people have more than the average number of arms.
I’m seeing a lot of really interesting stuff here:https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/bekeb1/what_mindblowing_but_simple_facts_would_satisfy_a/

Unless there are a non-zero number of three-armed or more-armed people, this is always true? Or is that the joke. I don’t really do reddit.

I guess since some people have less than the standard two, and few or no people have three or more, the average is slightly less than two. Most people have the standard complement of two, thus more than the average.
That’s not taking firearms into account.

There is a non zero number of people who have more than two arms. Regardless, there are way more people who have one arm or zero arms. This brings the average down to somewhat less than two arms per person. Because most people have two arms, this is more than whatever the average is.
It’s a demonstration of the difference between mean and mode.

You have 100 pounds of potatoes, which are 99% water by weight. You let them dehydrate until they’re 98% water. How much do they weigh now?
50 pounds

Easy. If you have a hundred pounds of potatoes and 99% of that (by weight, I’m assuming) is water, then only 1 pound is actual potato. In order for one pound to be two percent of x, x must be 50 pounds.

Yes but…also NOT a case of two heads being better than one.

I just couldn’t quickly find a picture of OG Zaphod that I liked that showed the third arm.

I loved this interpretation, though, with the heads like those creepy toys of yesteryear. And nobody better than Sam Rockwell to play it, IMHO.

Poor thing – I hope the harness wasn’t strangling him. He might have been still growing.

Kind of made the birdcage gag impossible, though.

IIRC, wasn’t this supplanted by the citrus grinder headgear? IMHO, equally funny.

I understand the spirit of the “one hour” rule, although I’ve seen it take longer than one hour for someone to figure out something was an attack.
