Useless Facts

Don't actually know if this is true but it was on one of those "it's a fact" websites. Did you know that more people are killed each year by donkeys than in airplane crashes?

Re: Useless Facts

I'm not sure how high that donkey number is but I read that some scientist claimed 150 people per year are killed by falling coconuts. Who knows, flying may be safer than hanging in a hammock beneath a coconut tree.

Re: Useless Facts

Are most of those deaths centered in or around Tijuana?

LOL Could be.

We have a lot of donkeys and mules around here. They are aggressive and territorial. A neighbor down the road had to get rid of one because it killed a valuable horse and a pet deer. The one behind the house named Snowball is friendly enough though.
