I’m surprised those of us who are office workers don’t die more often from having our heads explode as a consequence of listening to management spew ignorant jargon-filled blather.

I always thought elephant trainers had the highest fatality rate. Might be too small of a sample size to qualify

Do astronauts fit under pilots and flight engineers? We’ve lost quite a few, and there never were that many of them.

What’s kind of crazy is that young men IN the military have a lower death rate than young men OUTSIDE the military, even factoring in all of the U.S. wars.

You think 4 out of 44 is bad, try 8 out of 42 (Cleveland is both 22nd and 24th, and Obama still isn’t President yet). Four have been assassinated, but four more died of non-bullet-related causes during their terms.

4 out of 44 translates into 9090.91 out of 100,000.

Wow.
