The September issue of Money Magazine has a quiz of what is riskier.

1) What are you more afraid of, a nuclear reactor or sunlight?

2) which is responsible for the greatest number of deaths each year?

- alligator
-bear
-deer
-shark
-snake.

I got both correct. The answers are:

1) The worst nuclear reactor accident in history, Chernobyl in 1986, was responsible for the deaths of less than 100 people by 2006. On the other hand 8000 Americans die from sun induced skin cancer each year. (I have skin cancer, and a good friend's wife just died of skin cancer. She was 57 years old.)

2)Deer kill about 130 people each year, more than all of the other critters combined. The deer aren't very agressive. Most of the deaths occur when the deer are hit by automobiles.
