I'm cleaning out my email. It has to be done. Why did I keep all these Fwds?

Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. Okay, that's a little amusing. But

One of my favourite bits of information was a list I saw years ago - it had the numbers per 100,000 people who were injured in various ways - I never realized so many people are injured by walls - let alone by pyjamas. Go figure.

It has been a long time since I licked a 9 volt battery.
My tongue tingles just thinking about it.

According to the '2000 Year Book Australia' from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, those last 4 things (batteries, knives, beer bottles [that was to casualty, not emergency. is that the same thing?] and toilet injuries) are true. I was reading "The Odd Body 3" by Dr Stephen Juan, and those facts are mentioned in it, with that statistic book referenced.

The battery one may be misleading. It doesn't say anything about electrocution. Perhaps they licked leaking batteries, and swallowed a lethal dose of acid.

Or, maybe they weren't the kind with the poles both on one end, and the daft buggers chocked to death trying to touch both ends with their tongues.
