Super stats: Microsoft, in attempting

Super stats: Microsoft, in attempting to flog some of its wireless wares, has hit the Online inbox with a worrying statistic from the UK Office for National Statistics: 4.8 million cups of tea or coffee are spilled onto the UK's office floors and desks every week because of one of the country's 60 million computers getting in the way with their wires. This throws up a whole bunch of questions: even assuming only one computer is responsible for every spillage, this rate of spillage should mean that every computer in the country causes a spill roughly once every three months, give or take. Yet this, obviously, is only an average - many people survive years without a spillage. So is there a careless minority living in a near-continual farce of trips, spills, curses and broken keyboards? Do you spill tea habitually? Call one of our researchers now.
