And here's a little Christmas cheer for all From the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Mind you I'm sure that most of the mishaps listed below occur world wide with many variations. ( I doubt it)
*31 Australians have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
*19 Australians have died in the last 3 years by eating Christmas decorations they believed were chocolate.
*Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling incidents. (saltines can be tough)
*101 Australians since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.
*18 Australians had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
*A massive 543 Australians were admitted to casualty in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth or eye socket.... EYE SOCKET??????
*5 Australians were injured last year in accidents involving out of control scalextric cars.
(what the heck are these Kronic???)
*3 Australians die each year testing if a 9V battery works on their tongue.
*142 Australians were injured in 1998 by not removing all the pins from new shirts.
*58 Australians are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
and finally: *8 Australians cracked their skull in 1997 after falling asleep (passing out) while throwing up into the toilet.*
YEP! its great to be an Australian, lucky that they have strict gun control laws or every second person would be shot in the foot!...
Heehe got it from a Ausssie site, could you tell
Note: this is my 900 post!

Scalectric car sets are those little cars that race around tracks you build. You control them with a hand held device that allows them to speed up or go slow depending on how hard you press the trigger.
