pervocracy:

"Average person eats 3 spiders a year" factoid statistically correct but misleading.  Median person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should be included in the average for completeness, but serves as an example of why medians are often more representative of a population.
