Book of Odd(people)s: Boston

Book of Odds explores the odds of everyday life, from firearm owning to orgasm faking. We have to admit we're a little confused about a few odds, such as:

The odds a tourist in the US will visit Boston, Massachusetts are 1 in 132.4 (US, 2006).
The odds a tourist in the US will visit Faneuil Hall in Boston, Massachusetts are 1 in 116.8 (US, 2007).

Not sure how the odds of visiting Faneuil specifically are better than visiting Boston at all: maybe we just got a lot more tourists in 2007. Regardless, the oddpeople toured Boston recently, finding out what people on our streets know about odds. How'd it go? See for yourself, above.

So funny! And really interesting... I really would have thought drowning caused more accidental deaths. Going to check out book of odds now...
