I can't believe...

someone took the time to write this article. And that another bunch of people took the time to comment. Oh, and that some poor soul at the CDC was forced to compile the data in the first place. Next up, the detrimental effects of paper cuts on work productivity.

Meanwhile, important things are being written about. If we can see it, will we soon be able to combat it effectively?

All the more reason to have a cow as a pet...

NPR reported on that this morning. It's mainly people over 75 and I tend to wonder how many other things they trip over...

@karen: One can hope.
@cosmo: I would like a cow but I don't think she'd be happy in my apartment.
I am now waiting for an infomercial for a patented anti-pet tripping device.

Like those Elizabethan collars you get at the vet?

I think it would be some battery operated thing which shouted out a warning if you approached the pet while not looking down. It should probably make a loud air raid siren noise too.

... because old people will handle sudden air raid sirens so well! (hehehe)
