That would explain why the numbers are so high, but not why the number for women is twice the number for men. Are there that many more female jokers or drunken misclickers?

Or drunken crossdressing jokers?

Possible explanation: A larger percentage of fake accounts on OKC are female accounts? Women are much more likely to be messaged, so if you're trolling it makes sense that you would choose a female account.

When I got this question I answered it incorrectly, just because it was so ridiculous :)

According to a Gallup poll from 1999 18% of Americans think the Sun revolves around the Earth. Another 3% had no opinion. North Western University did a similar poll in 2005 and got a similar result of 20%

I'm rather curious about those who had no opinion.

"Does the sun revolve around the earth?" "Meh, maybe? Never thought about it. I don't really look up or care"
