Just some interesting but totally useless info

[GaryHibbert]

Have you ever wondered what exactly would likely be the cause of your death were you killed, rather than expiring of natural causes? Well wonder no more. Check out the results of a study on that very subject so you know where the dangers lie, and what to avoid.



What kills the most humans annually according to a study by CNET:

Notes[edit]
^ Mosquitos do not kill humans directly. Rather, they are a vector that transmits Mosquito-borne diseases.

^ Tsetse flies do not kill humans directly. Rather, they are a vector that transmits sleeping sickness.

^ Assassin bugs do not kill humans directly. Rather, they are a vector that transmits Chagas disease.

^ Freshwater snails do not kill humans directly. Rather, they are a vector that transmits a variety of tropical diseases.

Hell, every way you can die is a result of natural causes, directly or indirectly.

We all signed our own death warrants the day we were born. It is an incomprehensible philosophical mind-**** that makes no rational sense whatsoever.
