I'm a little bummed that they don't have the stats on my chances of dying from radiation..... or of being bitten or CRUSHED by reptiles...... this is what keeps me awake at night!

this is fascnating. i feel like it answers so many questions. i bookmarked it for future reference. one that creeps me out: beeing stuck between two pieces of machinery or something. aah. reading this reminded me of the beginnings of six feet under episodes.
well great, now i get to add so many other things on my list of things to avoid. :)
