Random-Useless stat of the day: 60%
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, this is the estimated percentage of persons worldwide who have experienced epistaxis (nose bleed) during their lifetime. Is this true? It just does not seem to pass the gut check test .... I've had several episodes myself. Shouldn't the percentage be closer to 90-100%?
