Some Funny Statistics

I have this theory that the amount of car accidents is more or less the same in Italy and Denmark. The thing is that in Denmark everybody expects other drivers to respect the rules of driving, which works perfectly as long as there are no cheaters that try to break them, which often end in accidents. Here in Italy everybody expects everybody else to not follow the rules, and therefore expects everything. These two paradigms works pretty well, if there is no exceptions - Ok, I don't know if anything would happen to a person that follows the rules in Italy other than he would be stuck in traffic, but at least the other way around would cause trouble.

Either way, if I however had to choose one of them, I would guess that there would be most accidents in the chaos. But according to new numbers from the EU, Denmark has more accidents on the streets than Italy and France, where you traditionally (at least in Denmark) expect more accidents.

Other statistics claim that men doesn't want to have sex anymore (link), which I personally think is a lie. Sweden should be the best place to be a mum (link) and some American scientists claims that painkillers prevent Alzheimer's (link). So should we eat more painkillers?

In Denmark it's 25 degree and here it looks like its going to rain. What a wonderful and surprising world we live in.
