Air accidents

Saw this on one of my favourite comic sites this morning (Bunny).

It says:

http://www.airdisaster.com/view_year.cgi?year=2001

Air Accident (The Entire World - pop.est 6,630,000,000)

2001 1,752 Fatalities (including 9/11/01 passengers)



http://www.statistics.gov.uk/STATBASE/xsdataset.asp?vlnk=5680

Accidental Falls (The UK Alone - pop.est 60,441,000)

2000 4,281 Fatalities



Just a kindly statistical reminder -

You are more likely to die falling out of your bed in the morning than in a terrorist attack...

...so someone please tell Mr Bush to stop freaking out.



Have a cup of tea, that seems to work out quite well

Gig tonight

Off to see The Cat Empire tonight.. Really looking forward to it :-)


"This was an early description of the music and the Band: Where reggae meets Hip-Hop, where jazz is played with dirty hands, where a Cuban line meets an Aussie rule, where nothing seems in place but sounds like one place played in an earthy chord. This is the Island where The Cat Empire was born?"


is one way to describe their music :-)
