I Hate it when statistics are given without stating their conditions. For example, you can't just say that you are X% likely to get struck by lightning without limiting it to the condition, "when there is a thunderstorm."

My Great Grandfather was killed by a blue shark in Cornwall. He had caught it on a rod and line, and died 10 days afterwards from complications arising from food poisoning caught after eating the bloody thing. Refrigeration was unheard of in those days.
