I've been suffering from bloggers block this new year as nothing new seems to be surfacing. Although I could bore all with posts on new tech toys, or keep up the political rhetoric, neither sounds all that appealing. This one email message I received was too humorous to pass up however. If you can validate or disprove the statistics below please let me know.
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 32 months, and a total of 2,912 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 55 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol, which has the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq. Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington."
