Geekery for writers and others

Almost at random, I stumbled upon this list of the odds of death due to injuries of various sorts, courtesy of the National Safety Council.

From which one learns that: death from cold is more likely than death from heat; death from spider bite is more likely than death from snakebite; and death from lightning is more likely than death from earthquake.

Noted here for future reference. Because one never knows when one will need to know these things.
