88 percent
Appears to be original research and almost certainly non-notable - I've certainly never heard of 88% having some specific significance over other percentages. A single mention in popular culture (probably only incidental rather than a specific "hey, let's make an 88% joke" by the writers) does not indicate evidence of a widespread awareness of this idea. ~Matticus TC 18:57, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * 97% of all statistics are made up, and this is no exception. A once-off joke on a comedy television show is not enough to hang an encyclopaedia article from, and there are no other sources at all to back up the idea propounded in this article. Delete. Uncle G 11:27, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
