There’s shit falling out of the sky again.  Grab Your Bullitproof Umbrella    NASA says your risk of injury from their wayward debris is “very low.”  Just 1 in 9,400.  Excuse me!  That’s not exactly comforting. That’s the range of possibilty of dying by accidental electrocution.  When I was a teenager I watched my little brother test the limits of that statistic when he attempted to extract a slice of bread stuck in our toaster with a metal-handled knife.  And according to NASA’s calculation you’re about four times as likey to get speared by their rubbish than dying in a cataclysmic storm.  How many incidents of that type do you read about every day?

Odds of dying from a dog attack are 1 in 69 thousand.  I realize we’re talking death here, but once I was attacked by a dog.  I was walking back to my apartment from a park where I had been practicing my pitch shot with  my 9 iron.  A scrawny, mud-matted mut bolted from his yard and sunk his teeth into the leg of my pants.  Overall I was pleased with my stance and form as the face of my club struck his boney rib cage. Had the little bastard broken any skin on my calf I would have made sure his skull was analyzed for rabbies, conventionally or by the modified 9 iron procedure.

The odds of being injured by a toilet are right there with what NASA is suggesting here- 1 in 10,000.  The CDC actually documents this.  Look it up if you don’t believe me.  Though congress feels gun violence is not the purvue of the CDC,  equally significant is the odds of not serviving the accidental discharge of a firearm. That happens to be 1 in 7,900. Of course in America the odds of dying from a gun assualt are 1 in 221.  And now that 6 year olds are getting in on the action, look for that statistic to become even more alamring.  .Member of NRA Junior

Anyway, just a heads up for a few days.
