“There is a water-born, microscopic, brain-eating amoeba that can enter your body through your nose. It is found in fresh water and can be present at water parks and pools.
It is fatal within about 5 days and there no way to really test for it before it’s typically too late. Survival is very unlikely.”
“Humans invented surgery long before they invented anesthesia.”
“A guy disappeared in my country. Everyone knew he died. Everyone knew who did it. But the guys were policemen. So the investigation was so ruined it became ridiculous.There are people on this planet who can interven in the investigations made against them, decide to block them and if you do something about it, no one will investigate when you will mysteriously vanish.”
“We are all getting cancer all the time. It’s just that our immune systems keep stopping it. Until they don’t.”
“Brain aneurysms can happen to anyone, at any age and most are fatal.”
“Take away the stomach acid and an octopus could go into your mouth and crawl out your @$$hole.”
“When I became a nanny the dad I worked for showed me a stack of sex offenders he’d printed out from his computer within a five mile radius of his house. It was a very thick stack. That’s just the people who got caught.”
“If you are 25 years old, approximately 1/3 of the world’s population who were alive at the time of your birth, have since died.”
“The fact that I was born with congenital heart disease means that any time, at random, without warning, one of my valves or part of my heart muscles can suddenly collapse or disintegrate. I would be dead within a matter of days or weeks. Only annual checkups can help find the smallest of hints to prevent this.”
“There is something called R on T phenomenon. I won’t get into EKGs or anything, but basically if your heart beats at the wrong time in your normal cycle, you can go into cardiac arrest.
This was seen with that NFL football player who had a sudden collapse on the field a year or two back. That sudden beat that occurs can also result from a sudden hit to the chest such as a baseball hitting you square in the chest at the wrong time in your heart cycle.”
“While on a hunting excursion, two adolescents saw and removed a dead armadillo. The armadillo’s blood got on his boots, which he wiped with his bare hands. This proved to be a near-fatal error, as the armadillo became infected with the bacteria that causes leprosy. He had to have surgery to remove damaged sections of his body.”
“Even if you’re the safest, most skillful driver in the world, you still have no way to protect yourself from other bad drivers.”
“Never go downstream of a low head dam. Actually just don’t go near one at all. They’ve earned the nickname “The Drowning Machine.” This is because the structure combined with the current creates an inescapable “drowning zone” of a rotating current. They are incredibly strong and nearly impossible to escape from. Should you fall in, no one will rescue you. It’s just too dangerous.”
“Your organs “know” the order they are supposed to be in so when surgeons perform their job they don’t typically reorganize them because they arrange themselves correctly.”
“They never caught the Zodiac Killer.”

It only helps to a degree. Takes only 1 idiot to speed through a red light and it's over.
I also don't tail gate; look both ways when crossing a one way street; check that there aren't any cars coming if I'm about to walk past a big rain puddle, etcetera etcetera.
