aussie darwin contenders

[Ken Gargett]

i am told this but no idea if it is true (think they meant kiwis, and i mean kiwi in the non-derogatory sense)

3 Aussies die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.

142 Aussies were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.

58 Aussies are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.

31 Aussies have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.

8 Aussies had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.

A massive 543 Aussies were admitted to Emergency in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.

.....And finally,

In 2000, eight Aussies cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.

What i find most embarassing is what aussie cannot open a beer with their teeth!! (i think these must have been tourists).
