    --------- From the Australian Bureau of Statistics ---------

    3 Australians die each year testing if a 9V battery works on
    their tongue.

    142 Australians were injured in 1998 by not removing all the
    pins from new shirts.

    31 Australians have died since 1996 by watering their Christ-
    mas tree while the lights were plugged in.

    19 Australians have died in the last 3 years by eating
    Christmas decorations they believed were chocolate.

    A massive 543 Australians were admitted to casualty in the
    last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth
    or eye socket. [Eye socket! I would pay to see this one.]

    8 Australians cracked their skull in 1997 after falling asleep
    (passing out) while throwing up into the toilet.

    What are you Aussies drinking down there?

    My girlfriend sent this to me and I thought it was funny. Are these things true?

    Humorous bit but I doubt its true. Have you ever licked a 9v battery? It tingles a little. The only way I could see one of these killing someone is if its eaten or dropped from a very high building.

    I don't need to be forgiven.

    rhett,
    You never know. Maybe after opening a bottle with their eye, they picked up a 9 volt battery thinking it was their bottle. They started sucking on the battery until they died. Oh well, maybe not.
