Look up some interesting stuff and post the chances of dying from it.

Looks like I need to cancel my travel insurance and get comet insurance.

Asteroid/comet striking the Earth that is large enough to cause global disaster: 1/1000 this stat alone proves that these are all made up |

Re: Some Real Bad Beats
so you are saying that if it does hit within our lifetime (1/1000 chance of that happening), then 100% of the time every single person will die from it...

[/ QUOTE ] if everyone lives 100 years, and a comet comes every 100,000 years, that would be 1 comet for each 100,000/100 = 1,000 generations since we can assume the comet will kill everyone, your chance of dying from one is 1/1,000 |

Re: Some Real Bad Beats
Asteroid (29075) 1950 DA is predicted to collide with Earth on March 16, 2880. The energy released by the collision would cause major effects on the climate and biosphere which would be devastating to human civilization.

He was like 8, playing outside and got stung in the throat/end of tongue. It was all swollen up in no time and he suffocated. He was also a bit mentally challenged, perhaps he could have even breathed through the nose and just panicked. Sad sad story. |

[/ QUOTE ] ya, i didnt know it at the time. had been stung numerous times as a kid so figured i wasnt allergic. i was 19 and mowing the lawn and was stung by a hornet which are a bit nastier than your average honeybee. they nest in the ground so obv the mower pissed them off. i was stung once, on the ankle. didnt think much of it but couldnt walk too well which pissed me off bc i had to go to work soon and the lawn was halfmowed. took a shower bc i had to go to work. when i emerged my chest was completely red and waves of heat where running thru my head. weird. my mom freaks and drives me to the hospital. while they are asking me dumb questions like how old i am for the 100th time i pass out. they shoot me up with epinephrine and antihistamine and i live. had nightmares for awhile. fwiw, it was about 40min since the sting before i was in serious danger. allegedly the first time you usually have the most time. if i were to be stung again i could have as little as 5 min to respond. |
