The statistics man on Radio 4

I caught myself listening to a statistics expert on Radio 4 today and he was fascinating. What are the odds on you walking past a phone box, it ringing, you answering and the call being for you?

What about the woman who went to Switzerland on holiday bought a painting which was wrapped in newspaper. When she arrived home she found that the paper contained a picture of her as a child?

Perhaps the best stat was that if you run for half an hour a day you will extend your life by half an hour for each run. Er…. As the old saying goes: it is not that you will live longer it will just feel that way.
