People don't understand either statistics or language. I'm sure what was intended was something more along the lines of "Internet users, on average, have 2.8 Internet-using children". However, it seems like a made-up statistic. Source?

The source was completely unreliable ... It was a link from a link from a blog I was reading earlier today that I don't recall offhand now. The sentence just jumped out at me when I read it. I tend to agree that there are good odds that it was made up (dare I quote a made up % chance that it's made up to initiate Irony Mode? perhaps 90% odds?). I was more curious from a mathematical standpoint, if it is even POSSIBLE that it could be true.
