The leading cause of fatalities and injuries resulting from home injuries was falls, with 6,750 deaths and 5.6 million injuries.

When stairs and ladders are outlawed, only outlaws will have stairs and ladders.

--People older than 64 were the most frequent victims of falls.

They never watched my little girl. She is 20 months old and falls down at least 20 times a day.

What I don't understand is the high rate of poisonings among adult males aged 25-64. (I always thought that young children were the most frequent victims of poisonings.)

How are all these grown men poisoning themselves???

C'mon, it must be evil men being poisoned by their tragically abused wives/girlfriends! Either that, or guys in general lose the ability to tell the difference between food and rat poison sometime after age 24. =)
