Statistically, you'll meet a serial killer during your lifetime.

That definitely isn't true everywhere, and I seriously doubt that it's true anywhere. Murder is quite uncommon itself, and serial killing is extremely uncommon.

Even meeting a future murderer seems like a long shot for most people.

Also, I don't believe you understand how statistics are done. Statistically, x will happen? So the probably is 1? In that case, it's hard to see how this could be a statistical conclusion - statistics is a branch of math used to consider the likelihood of uncertain events. Your claim is self-contradictory.

So where's the math?

Well, think about how many people you meet.

While I completely agree his claim doesn't pass my smell test I think you are being a bit obtuse on the second part.

I'd say most people would understand "statistically" to mean "You are more likely than not". So assuming the chance of living your life and meeting a serial killer is greater than not.

The gauntlet has been thrown down, /u/Alias_Unknown can you bring up the statistics and do the math?

A significant portion of people who attempt to kill themselves by shooting themselves in the head will miss vital portions of their brain and will survive with a severely disfigured head/face.

My friend is an MD and she would talk about this. How hard they would work to save someone's life - only to have them do it again a few months later. Or be so broken and messed up they are little more than a vegetable stuck in a hospital and can not kill themselves now if they wanted too.

It was really sad.

  1. There are over 200 corpses on Mount Everest used as way points for climbers.
  2. Most of what we know about the stages of hypothermia came from Nazi human experiments.

Haven't we since realized that those experiments were scientifically unsound as well as being horrific?

Y'know that scene in Milo and Otis, where Milo, in a box, falls down a waterfall? Well, the first Milo didn't survive that fall. I wanna say... the first seven didn't? Maybe more. But there were a whole bunch of Milos that died during the making of the movie.

That's really not a very big drop. I can't see how any cat could die from that even if things did go horribly wrong. Even if it tipped over and the cat fell out at the very top of the drop it still wouldn't die. The depth of the water and speed of the current are also not enough that the cat would drown.

I would question the source of such claims. If you can provide a link it would be much appreciated.

Edit: I found this, FWIW.

Edit 2: And here is a discussion from snopes. If you scroll down to the post from Bonnie he/she goes into detail about the original films dubious history.

I live in Minneapolis and I learned last year sometime that the Mall of America is a hub for sex slave trafficking because there are so many people and so many tourists.

Not just complicity, but participation in certain instances.
