Factual accuracy is a good thing; making stuff up isn't.

Remember I had that post about how someone wrote a heart-filled response to that "53%-er" picture going around Facebook?

Butster Blonde at persephone.com  ran the numbers. Basically, it boils down to: this person is either phenomenally lucky, or, much more likely, lying. [Edited to add: the "53%" is lying, not the guy who responded to him.  Just to make that clear.]

I cannot speak for anyone else, but I am getting so tired of this crap getting traction from people who either lack or refuse to use critical thinking skills.
