What are the odds of dying?

Quote:

The table below was prepared in response to frequent inquiries, especially from the media, asking questions such as, "What are the odds of being killed by lightning?" or "What are the chances of dying in a plane crash?"

Accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed, 509
Inhalation of gastric contents, 369

Damn, that's kind of high. (All infants?)

This is useless, it says nothing about how likely I am to die from a trained Crossbow assassin in a watertower!

What are the odds of dying on rickety, old-ass Space Mountain? That's how I'm going.

I think it's pretty safe to say I'm never going to die.

The threat of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is the most fucking terrifying thing a new parent can go through. I must have checked my little girl a hundred times a night to see if she was still breathing.

Space Mountain has been closed for like 2 years! I went to Disneyland yesterday and was all sad. I've never gotten to ride it :( . Re-opening after renovations later this summer though!

We got stuck on Space Mountin Orlando. They stopped the ride in the middle of THE drop. The lights all turned on. We were like that for about an hour. It sucked.

Wow, that's depressing.

Which begs for another question.How do you guys want to go?

- Out in a blaze of Glory
- Old,senile,pissing your pants,and without any of your memory, in bed
- In the throes of passion - which causes a quick heart attack

I think I want to go out in a Blaze of Glory WHILE in the throes of passion >> ie, driving down the road getting a blowjob when I see a terrorist running for a school with a bomb strapped to his back.Naturally I crush him with my car annihilating us and saving the school full of children and becoming a national hero.
