Space junk...what a schlemiel. Even inanimate objects fall on you. We have worse that that....real killers...'drop bears'; koalas which drop onto you from high up in gum trees and tear you to pieces ;) not to be confused with tree kangaroos which just drop droppings all over you.

In Response to Re: What do you think will be the cause of your own death?: Those wishing for falling debris from space want to live a long life and die suddenly, they are simply afraid of the IHD and cancer alternative. Posted by yoram chaiter I take it you're not a fan of gallows humour, then? Personally, I answered seriously, and put in common cancer due to family history of the same. But I second the view that the answers were a bit limited. A better approach might have gone with the WHO's top half-a-dozen for high-income countries (http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs310/en/), "other cancer", "other non-cancer", and a joke answer. |

I chose that one because in the current life situation of mine, pollution and those foods that are available in the market are full of dangerous chemicals that could cause it. I tend to live healthy but only a few available fresh air in a state is far to reach because of financial problems. |

as an egocentic surgeon i think my wife , a paediatrician , will probably , one night, succumb to the temptation to belt me over the head with the cast iron frypan. she will claim justifiable homicide |
