    Just a place to put shocking statistics found on the internet.

    For instance:

    Doctors
    (A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

    (B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians
    per year are 120,000.

    (C) Accidental deaths per physicianis
    0.171.

    Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of
    Health and Human Services.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


    Now think about this:

    Gun Owners
    (A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.
    (Yes, that's 80 million)

    (B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups,
    is 1,500.

    (C) The number of accidental deaths
    per gun owner is
    .000188.

    Statistics courtesy of FBI


    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT
    Almost everyone has at least one doctor. This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


    Please alert your friends
    to this alarming threat.
    We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Out of concern for the public at large, I withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention



    Have Funn guys!!!

    ahh but seriously I assume you were e-mailed this from someone because it looks like one of those annoying chain-mail things.

    This is retarded. There is no relationship between these statistics. Here is just another example of how human stupidity and gullibility take precedence over intelligence and logic. Bravo, good man. Bravo.

    It is funny how people consistently fail to interpret statistical information correctly. If a someone says it is a statistic, make sure you know every single piece of correlating data as well.

    And, I hate chain mail. My grandma just got broadband and she is our main source of spam/chain mail.

    obnoxious colors in the post. Simple math is done wrong. 120,000/700,000=1 and 5/7. Its stupid chainmail and is wasting the couple of mb on the hosts server that it requires.
