I'm not even convinced that my perception is correct, but boy, it seems I see a lot of anecdotal evidence in support. * * * * * * * Newest Twitter amusement: Proven Facts. A few entries don't make sense or are downright stupid/juvenile, but for the most part, the gist of the Tweets is humorous and clear:

Every hour in America, 60 minutes pass.

If you took your own lungs out and laid them side by side, you will die.

Babies are not dishwasher safe.

Carpet can be walked on.
