Thanks to our friends at the Australian Bureau of Statistics ...
“Why would you want to be anything else but Australian?!?!”
* 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.
* 31 Australians have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
* 19 Australians have died in the last 3 years by eating Christmas decorations they believed were chocolate.
* Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling incidents.
* 101 Australians since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.
* 18 Australians had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
* A massive 543 Australians were admitted to casualty in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth or eye socket.
* 5 Australians were injured last year in accidents involving out of control Scalextric cars.
.........and finally:
* 8 Australians cracked their skull in 1997 after falling asleep (passing out) while throwing up into the toilet.
This puts new meaning into "Its great to be Australian"!!
"The man who opens his mouth in the presence of a woman does so only to change feet."

Now. Multiply those numbers by three (at least). After that this list could fit in America. Except for the 'beer opening' techniques. After multiplying that number you have half the population of Alabama. :D
*There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved by a suitable application of Diplomacy, Compromise, and High Explosives or Tactical Nuclear Strikes.*
History is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace and revolution continue on forever.
