The Safest Place To Be! How to stay safe in the World today 1.. Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents. 2. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home. 3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians. 4. Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation. 5. Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals. So, ... above all else, avoid hospitals. But, .... You will be pleased to learn that only ..001% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is at church. ....And.....Bible study is safe too. The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less. So, Attend church, and read your Bible IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say the % of all death occur in this activity, that could also imply that the total proportion of people involve in the activity are few. For example, someone could do something totally unique that result in death, and number of death compare to total deaths would be negligible, but it doesn't mean it is any safer than things with higher death percentage relative to total. The percentage of death result from an activity is not a valid way to judge the safety of it. Death number should be calculated as a percentage to the number of participants in the activity to calculate risk. Oh, by the way, have you heard the phrase that statisticians are lairs?

I'm quite sure this was whimsical and not statistically correct using control groups and percentages... I personally enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right that the numbers shouldn't add up, it's like adding apples and oranges. But as for the quote about statisticians, I believe the correct quote it.... "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics". Usually attributed to the British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. Now that we have been "technically correct" lets go back to laughing.
