38% of Americans say they have some familiarity with statistics.

On a somewhat related note, 8% of Americans say they can beat a gorilla in a fist-fight.

I can beat a gorilla in a fist fight because it's gonna rip my body in half, but lose by disqualification due to rules violations. A posthumous win is still a win.

That has to be the most absurd but technically correct thing I have read.
