    Things more likely to kill you than Swine Flu
    Wednesday, April 29, 2009 5:35:41 PM (Pacific Daylight Time, UTC-07:00) ( )

    There are a few. Based on worldwide numbers (160 confirmed deaths, 3000 “suspected” cases)

    • Falling out of bed (900 confirmed deaths)
    • Falling down the stairs (1,690 confirmed deaths)
    • Big storm (874 confirmed deaths)
    • Drinking binge (346 confirmed deaths)

    Of course, the statistic left out by the news

    • Normal flu (36,000 confirmed deaths per year)
