Some interesting stats on ways you might die in the U$A:

ODDS of dying from:

Cardiovascular disease: 1 in 2
Smoking (by/before age 35): 1 in 600
Car trip, coast-to-coast: 1 in 14,000
Bicycle accident: 1 in 88,000
In the military due to Bush's war on terrorism: 1 in 340 841 (my figure)
Tornado: 1 in 450,000
Train, coast-to-coast: 1 in 1,000,000
Lightning: 1 in 1.9 million
