Nearly every week, a survey about states and cities hits the Internet, ranking them for everything from happiest to saddest.
Without supporting information about the survey itself, such as error margins, number of people questioned and who they were, results can be questioned. My circle of grouches doesn’t believe most of the reports, nor does it care.
In the spirit of keeping nonsense alive for another week, here are my “Top 10 Survey Results that Most Arizonans Don’t Want to Know:”
- Phoenix ranks 37th with nuns who suffer from migraine headaches.
- Arizona ranks 1st over New Mexico with politicians under 6-feet tall who wear Bola ties.
- 98% of Jerome residents have never been surveyed.
- Bisbee ranked next to last in number of town natives who have consumed an energy drink.
- 37% of Arizona towns that begin with C have no basketballs.
- 7% of Arizona teenagers think Justin Bieber is an idiot; 100% of adults think he is.
- NerdWallet reports there are more nerds per square acre in Tucson than in Payson.
- A majority of Sedona residents say they’ve been held captive by aliens.
- RealtyTrac finds 40% of homeowners in Apache Junction believe there’s gold underneath their houses.
- Columbia Journalism Review surveyed 500 U.S. newspapers and reports The Arizona Republic ranks 1st in hyphenated words that don’t require hyphens.
