From the fanciful world of SWAG Statistics

A recent article in Science Magazine entitled 50 years ago, scientists discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch reports "…they recorded 53 manmade objects in 8.2 hours of viewing. More than half were plastic. They go on to compute that there are between 5 million and 35 million plastic bottles adrift in the North Pacific."

The BBC reports Cats killing billions of animals in the US: "The authors estimate they are responsible for the deaths of…6.9-20.7 billion mammals annually."

SWAG, as it was explained to me by the Ancients, stands for Swinging Wild-Assed Guess.
