3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
142 Brits were injured in 2005 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.
British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmas cracker-pulling accidents.
18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Brits were admitted to Accident & Emergency in the last two years after trying to open bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out-of-control Scalextric cars.
And finally...
In 2000 eight Brits were admitted to hospital with fractured skulls incurred whilst throwing up into the toilet.

Thanks for asking xoCJ - awhile ago I gave up asking those questions of the brits around here, much like I gave up trying to teach the Canucks to spell.

At least I tend to answer those questions or at least point you in a direction to find the answer yourself.
