...All Roads In US Should Be Eliminated...

A study has shown that driving is much more hazardous to our health than terrorism:

Death toll from road accidents 390 times that from terrorism:

The body count from road accidents in developed economies is 390 times higher than the death toll in these countries from international terrorism, says a study appearing in a specialist journal, Injury Prevention. In 2001, as many people died every 26 days on American roads as died in the terrorist attacks of 9/11, it says.

Well...'duh'...Isn't this a revelation!? Where do I apply for a grant to conduct an important study like this?

Researchers led by Nick Wilson of Otago University, New Zealand, trawled through a US State Department database of deaths caused by international terrorism, and compared this with an Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development database on road crash deaths among 29 OECD countries.

Now here's a couple of guys with way too much time on their hands. But I guess everyone has to do something to make a living.
Here's another little blurb:

"Policymakers need to be aware of this when allocating resources to preventing these two avoidable causes of mortality," they say.

Policy makers should also be aware of the inconsequential frivolity of such as Nick and friends report when "allocating resources" for research grants.

(After, of course, I apply for and am granted mine on the effect of migrating salmon feces on pure, spring water being sold in soda pop bottles in markets nationwide for a buck ninety a pop)

Later...
