[Thomas Rogers]

(sorry for the flood of OT posts...it's a boring day at work, I find this stuff interesting, and thought you all might too):

"Accidental firearm discharge 1 in 5134" "Bicycling accident 1 in 4919" BAN BICYCLES! LOL!

 

[A K]

Fireworks discharge. I'll remember that when I make the drive out of state next June to pick up "the good stuff".

 

[Brandon Hovater]

Maybe I don't understand corectly but why are the odds of sucide 1 in 119?

 

[TomT]

I read the other day that someone commits suicide every 40 seconds. So I can see why it's so high.

 

[Yardsale]

Maybe I don't understand corectly but why are the odds of sucide 1 in 119

Because there are 118 who got it wrong.

Now that's funny!! With over population, maybe someone could start a class for those with suicidal tendencies. You either pass, or receive voluntary assistance...

Bicycles are constitutionally protected.

How come no one mentioned the total odds of dying, any cause - 1:1?



Someone prove it wrong! Now if Walt Disney is able to come back from being frozen, did he really die? (That's deep)

Gee, doesn't anybody die of old age anymore?

[Gavin Allan]

So more people die of fireworks discharge than from AIDS?



Doesn't seem right to me.

 

[Greg Bosin]

Odds of winning Power Ball, sinking on a cruise ship and drowning? not even on the chart! LOL
