Dangers According to XKCD and Google
By Tony Ruscoe

Today’s xkcd comic displays a graph showing the number of Google results returned for various ["died in a _____ accident"] queries.

As the tooltip on the comic points out, filling the blank with words like “car” and “boating” are much higher, but there are zero results for “snake charming” or “haberdashery”. Heh.
