I want to discuss these matters with others. And people get emotional. (especially me).
So, to calm myself down, I have some topic digressing jokes for you all:
>From the Australian Bureau of Statistics
> >3 Australians die each year testing if a 9V battery works on their >tongue.
>142 Australians were injured in 1998 by not removing all the pins from new shirts.
>58 Australians are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
>since 1998 17 Australians have been seriouly injured after being hit by cars while running naked down the street.
>31 Australians have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
