Accidents At Home

Did you know that studies show that most accidents occur in your own home? I did, and do you want to know why? I find it funny that we're spending tax dollars on studies that point out the obvious. Well, since you spend most of your time at this "home" it's pretty likely that most accidents occur at a place where we spend most of our time. "The Bathroom is the room where most accidents occur in homes." Oh my goodness, a mostly tiled room that tends to get damp and slippery, ceramic objects jutting out of the walls, razor blades, electric devices hanging over sinks and bathtubs; this room is dangerous? "Well, the second most dangerous room in your home is the kitchen." Nah, a room filled with sharp utensils, stoves, toasters, other devices that get really hot is dangerous? I don't believe that for one second. I think we should focus our tax payer money on something less obvious and something more progressive, like education.
