by lightening.

1. I got run over by a dumpster, once.

It was in a football riot in about 1963.

10. Yes, pretty routinely,

and I also got run over by a dumpster.

2. Correlation with suicide

S Korea has the second highest suicide rate in the world. Japan is up there too.

6. Surely that's due to a lack of guns.....

3. Japanese eat more sashimi and Koreans more bibimbop.

5. Bulgogi and Kim Chee too.

But at the end of the day our gun shootings numbers are tragic.

7. Don't forget..

Samgyeopsal and Seolleongtang and.......... Banchan, all those tasty little side dishes.

UMM.... gotta go back soon.....
