When you are most likely to die.

I thought the link was kind of weird for me to see when I logged on. I been thinking of my parents today. They both died in a car wreck close to 11 AM. On a workday when they rarely, if ever, missed a day of work.
 
You are most likely to die at 11 AM.
I saw a report on a study once (Canada) that concluded that the month in which you were most likely to die was March. There must be some distinct reason for this stuff otherwise it would be all random.

Hmm, I wonder how many years they used for the study.

I do not really know, though gathering data via an ancestry site would not be difficult. though boring. The newspaper article reaqd on it did not go into a lot of detail. It struck me as odd as I think I would have choen a 31 day winter month (January,December) rather than March. A Vitamin D thing possibly? :confused:

Possibly, March strikes me as odd, too. I woulda thought in the cold of Winter or extreme hot of Summer. Unless there are more car accident deaths in March because of thaws and icy roads? I dunno.

Statistics are really just SI SO.

If the data is bad so goes the results.

Sounds like an idea actually. Anyway I searched up some data on the subject. Looks to me that the cold months generally outpace the warmer ones with February running a little short as it has only 28 days. (Stats Canada)

Overall the differences are rather maqrginal though there is a slight preference for cold over hot. Possibly more dangerous winter driving conditions, Flu and low Vitamin D could cover that distance.:confused:
