Keeping Score

6th NYU Student Jumps To Death

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/07/national/main641542.shtml


I got tired of not knowing how many people die where, when, how, and why 
all over the world, so I decided I would just start keeping score.

Lemme see what I got so far....


11,000 -   Iraqis, Iraq
3,000 -    Americans Etc, World Trade Centers, NYC
1,000 -     American Soldiers, Iraq
150 -        Schoolchildren, Russia
6 -          NYU Students, NYC


Well, I'll add some more later when I can find them.  So far Iraq is ahead 
of NYU.

Wait, wait...  This one just in.  Smoking globally (according to World 
Health Organization) causes 4,000,000 deaths per year, and in 25 years is 
expected to cause 10,000,000 deaths per year.  But, of course, that didn't 
stop most of America being bought off state by state for one-time payments 
by The Tobacco Industry in exchange for never being able to bring future 
litigation.

So:

4,000,000 (per year) -  Humans globally, Tobacco Lung Cancer Etc

Ok, so that puts the Iraqis in 2nd place now, with the WTC bringing up a 
3rd, the American Soldiers bringing up a 4th, the Russian schoolchildren 
bringing up a 5th, and the NYU students now in 6th place.

Well, keeping score might be somewhat interesting as far as knowing such 
knowledge, but it doesn't look like that much fun the more I look into it.

Wait...  Wait a moment...  This just in...

Worldwide about 8,000,000 Babies die annually before their first birthday.

Ok, let's just revamp the score and see who's ahead now...

8,000,000  (per year) -  Babies globally, in first year, Respiratory 
diseases, Diahhrea, Measles, Etc
4,000,000  (per year) -  Humans globally, Tobacco Industry Market
11,000 -   Iraqis, Iraq
3,000 -    Americans Etc, World Trade Centers, NYC
1,000 -     American Soldiers, Iraq
150 -        Schoolchildren, Russia
6 -          NYU Students, NYC


Ok...........

Ok, so far, the Babies are beating the crap out of everybody.

Wouldn't you know it would be just like them...  Give them a little 
attention, and look what we get...  You would think they would have more 
respect as we are laying our dicks out on our government and corporate 
tables to see whose is bigger than to try to upstage us.  The nerve of some 
people...

Wow, gee, I wonder who the next President is going to be.

I'm sure he'll fix everything.

What a fucking Lobby the Babies must have in D.C., eh...?  LOL...

Well, I'll add more numbers soon and see if anyone can topple the Babies 
from the top of the mountain.

"Hey, is there anything good on HBO tonight....?"

"Wait a second, I'll see..."

Click.

"ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff....."

"Oh, wow..."

"Yeah, bogus, the cable's out..."

Knock knock knock knock....

"Who is it.....?"

"Cable Guy.........!!!!"

Click.

"ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.........."
