I think it's meant to be "if you're going to die to a shark, you'd probably be in Australia at the time," more than "if you're going to die in Australia, it'll probably be via shark."


Yes exactly. It says in the legend that the green ones are fewer than 10 instances a year, if it were most common cause of death they'd nearly all say heart disease or cancer.

The numbers are accurate and they link to the source data : http://www.bbc.com/f...deadly-hotspots but yeah it's just having fun in some places like the lawnmowers in the USA. I seem to remember from a previous study that toilet seats kill a surprising number of people in the US too.

That is a bit sad. I used to have to walk slightly less than that to get on the bus (the distance to the house, I mean). There were other kids that used the same stop that would get drive up though, instead of walking maybe 2-3 times that far.

Even so, the use of that picture with that caption is a bit rude. ;)

Being a Dr. and everything, Dr. Hedgeh should have realised that this is an improper use of "whom".

Seriously, your language hardly uses any declension at all. How hard can it be to remember the few instances in which the cases are somehow marked?
