Back Four Seconds
Back Four Seconds is, I think, one of my favourite blogs at the moment. It's not really about anything, but consists of short, amusing information sourced from around the world. Where else would I find something like this?
Thought for the day:
If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the last 22 months that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000.
That means that you are 33% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of D.C
