I read TIME magazine (subscribe for a couple of years but have been to busy lately to read all of them). One of my favorite parts was the section "By The Numbers" here are some:
20 lbs. Average amount of weight gained during internment by Guantánamo Bay detainees, who receive a daily diet of 4,200 calories--1,200 more than the U.S. government recommends for a man to maintain his weight
410 lbs. Current weight of the heaviest prisoner--195 lbs. more than when he arrived in 2002
52% Proportion of Americans polled who admitted regifting presents or would do so in the future
4% Regifters who did so because they disliked the recipient
