Re: The Odds Of Dying

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

I guess I have more reasons to avoid Florida now:

Tornado in Florida 5.4 1 in 695,206.0
Shark Attack in Florida [3] 0.2 1 in 17,241,108.5
Bicycle Accident in Florida [2] 114.8 1 in 32,639.2

... although the last one would probably have lower statistics if the seniors riding the bikes had to pass a test to get a bike rider's license.

Any website whose opening headline (11-3-2011) reads "Obama: God Himself Wants Congress to Pass My Jobs Bill" and then states "That's not quite the verbatim quote, but it's pretty close" is not exactly keeping it real.

The odds of dying are 100%. It's gonna happen to everyone, eventually.

The show and thread on 1000 ways to die is more morbid fun.

Lies. Pure disgusting lies.

Death by Snow Leopard Attack (Mauling Death) 4,909.0; 1 in 882.0
Death by Snow Leopard Attack (Poisonous Bite) 4,394.0; 1 in 912.0
Death by Snow Leopard (Exposure to Airborne Leopard Neurotox.) 4,116.0; 1 in 939.0
Death by Snow Leopard (Starvation Due to Livestock Depletion) 2,058.0; 1 in 1,877.0
Death by Snow Leopard (Starvation Due to Displacement by Biologists) 1,585.0; 1 in 4,340.0

They split it into five categories so that it drops off the list.

Add them up, you find the real toll of the spotted plague is 17,062--above falls, and among the top ten list of killers on the list!

Wake up, people!

[Deleted]

So we will die in a hundred different ways before winning the lotto? Life certainly can suck!!

And if my cat has claws the size of a Snow Leopard's, then it sounds like I REALLY have something to worry about! And my daughter keeps laughing at me when I swear this cat is plotting my demise. At least Virgil has my back since the RL family is just after the life insurance

[Colleenz]

That's called sal(a) :Pvation Virgil.

The good news is.......you can only die once so its pointless worrying about all the possible scenarios

The Odds Of Dying...



is 100%.

One cannot cheat the grave, it will have you. Just hope the transition is a gentle one.

[Jake 48]

I wanna go out with a bang!

[toomuchreality]

Since were going to die anyway, shouldn't we get to decide when???

I talked to my shrink once about the right to die, and having a physician help me to do so. He made a comment about you have to have something terminal. I told him life is terminal. -I'm still here. (In case you didn't notice! ;D )

Virgil- Aren't there some statistics on death cause by snow leopard stress? Surely, there must be!

If it's true, I'll be there!
And what do you want for Christmas?!?

Do you suppose the world ending means all life, or life as we know it? (I have to think it's the latter... )

[egginbonce]

maybe we all live as though we are not gonna die,and this unacknowledged fact is like the 'razorblade in the cornflakes',which we hope wont cut us,when it will....................
is it maudlin to consider the fact, or is it realistic?
I think religion makes it more palatable for some.............. anyway- now back to sticking my head in the sand some more........

[egginbonce]

I talked to my shrink once


do all americans have their own shrink?

[jemima]

I want to die in my lover's arm. Like a romantic death I wish for.

[egginbonce]

'past trends are no indication of future performance'..........................all you know, is that everyone who has gone before, has died('gone before' is a clue), but you dont know for sure that it will happen to YOU;strongly suspecting isnt knowing,BTW.........................

I think with all us boomers going to hit nursing homes we don't have and no money to pay for it you will see euthanasia become more common. I would prefer that over dying in the streets or all alone. People should be allowed to die with dignity.

Honestly, what was wrong with dying "from old age". Advances in medical science have helped us keep the mechanics of the body moving, long after its resident person would wish to be kept around. I am only 28, but DH already has instructions about what to do should I become incapacitated. Don't let me become the next Terri Schaivo!

The odds of dying, don't think they have odds for what is going to be a certainty, now the odds of dying of short of breath could be low, don't think you could get even money on it.

Oh no! Not any more. I read that this was all a mistake. Now December will bring good things our way. It's now the death of our society, not the end of the world. I wonder if this holds true for every society. Or did the Mayans know the USA was going to form??? Who can tell about such things.
