500 Nitro - I'm beginning to think you might even have it worse -

Iqbal,

Like you, I've heard the statement no end of times and also read it in no end of magazines - BUT, I've never seen a single scientific paper that had studied the matter and proven the statement. My guess is that some know nothing writer dreamt it up over a campfire and one too many drinks and it now just gets trotted out at every opportunity. I simply don't believe it's possible to get accurate figures from places like the Congo basin etc..... without those figures I don't see how anything can be proven either way......

For me it's the thought of being dragged underwater that's so scary. We all have to die but somehow, but the thought of being stamped on by an Elephant, or nailed by a Lion etc is part of the game and if it happens, then it happens. - But dying by Croc makes my blood run cold....... all that said, I'd still rather die at 99 when I'm in bed with a pair of young blondes......
