Adventures in Synthetic Reasoning

Fact #1:
Cards Against Humanity is a game that makes people say things like, "What ended my last relationship? Lance Armstrong's missing testicle." There have been, like, 85,000 copies of it printed so far.

Fact #2:
Between the 6th and 8th century, there were approximately 65,000 books made in all of Europe. I don't mean 65,000 original books were written. No, I mean 65,000 books total, copies included.

Conclusion:
There have been more copies of Cards Against Humanity made in the last 2 years than all the books in all of Europe for three hundred years.

Sources:
How many books were made in the Dark Ages?
How many copies of Cards Against Humanity have been made?

Oh, wait, you actually followed those links? Right then, time to explain myself. I may have played a bit fast and loose with the facts.

When I said there have been 85,000 copies of Cards Against Humanity printed, I should have really said, "There were 85,000 copies of the Cards Against Humanity holiday bonus pack, the one that they barely advertised and then did as a one-time-deal, printed." How many copies of Cards Against Humanity have really been made? I dunno. Someodd tens of millions. So really, it's something more like, "There were more copies of a game featuring Lance Armstrong's absent genital made in the first week of February than all books in all of Europe for 300 years."

Now, go forth and use this knowledge only for good, never evil.
