[quote:Anonymous Coward 6493463:MV8yMTg4NDQwXzM3NjI5NTIzXzY5Q0I3MEY4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 38443210:MV8yMTg4NDQwXzM3NjIzNTMwXzg2NjRGMDY3] And now for the really scary statistics, that will strike fear into the heart of the bravest of us. [b]Falling out of bed kills 450 people annually in the U.S[/b] [b]Dogs kill 34 people per year in the U.S. [/b] [b]Ants kill 30 people per year[/b] [b]Icicles kill 100 people per year in Russia[/b] Approximately 150 people are killed each year by coconuts Every year lightning kills 1000 people. Pen caps cause 100 deaths a year. These deaths occur when people play with pen caps in their mouths and the cap slips in too far, creating a choking hazard. In 2008, more than 36,000 people died from drug overdoses, and most of these deaths were caused by prescription drugs [b] Seasonal Influenza and Pneumonia kill 50,097 people a year in the USA alone.[/b] And folks if you really want a reason to be afraid or panic, then its cancer. I won't even tell you the figure, you dont want to know, and i dont wish to cause panic. [/quote] What about cars? The number I've heard is 36,000 annually. That's a whale of a lot more than flu, terrorism, hurricanes, and tornados combined. [/quote]
