the thread of random knowledge!

[Neiromaru]

So here's how this works you basically post any random bit of knowledge, or advice you want, no matter how utterly useless, or useful, it might be to the general population.

This can be anything from what you learned in school yesterday, to why bread has different colored twist-ties (yes there is actually a reason)

The last thing is, try to keep them relatively short

Here's mine: percentage-wise the job (in the U.S.) that has the most people murdered while holding it, is president.

i dont understand this... how can someone die from a vending machine? does like the vending machine fall on them or something? r do they get contaminated drinks or something?

[Deadloader]

contaminated drinks? .. that would be the drink that kills you then eh? xD

... either when you put your hand in to get your whatever from the vendor it eats you.. and then sometimes it falls on you.. but then sometimes your arm gets ripped off.. and then the rarest is when you get chased down the road by a mad granny and you end up commiting grannycide... obviously..
