googled "odds of" found the list on some site... they credited someone else with compiling it

|Chaz| · 07-10-2009, 04:36 PM

That's a comprehensive list there. It covers all the bases. Why does the media enjoy blowing everything out of proportion... oh right MONEY. People love hearing about tragedies. They eat that shit up.

Hmm...

Are fucked up british teeth considered an "underlying condition" or not?

Well you have better chances of dying in the shower over an exploding garden hose, so I'd say he's making a safe(r) choice with the hose.
