They say, statistics can be made up when doing a speech or spontaneously one can quote numbers. It is a trick that most speakers who have nothing to talk about use.

However, here is an equally useless but quite believable and true graph which shows how expensive or cheap human blood really is. According to the statistics here, human blood is cheaper than HP black ink! If you are planning to donate blood and felt all royal about it, know that when someone gifts a cartridge of HP black ink, he or she is doing a more noble service!

Now that is certainly not what I actually want to say, and I believe comparing human blood with HP ink shows how skewed and useless statistics can actually be. One could even make a graph of how expensive or cheap the human eye is, when compared to platinum of the same size.

Comparisons must be made to things that are related, instead of comparing things that are completely unrelated. I wonder why they did not add milk into the list! Oh yeah, there is also the crude oil in the list and it features at the bottom. So the wars are being fought for something so cheap, and so much of human blood, which is “expensive” is being drained out?
