Answerbag.com-- On average, how many people each year die choking on badgers?

[underpants]

On average 5.7, but that's just a rough average, 1.8 choke on sleek superior badgers.
Remember always chew your badger thouroughly before swallowing.
However, and quote from http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Badger_Flange
"The standard modern mass produced gate is rectilinear, and this is actually the main cause of choke problems. Given that most badgers necessarily appoach the gate at a slight angle, inter-badger interactions are imperfectly aligned. While two-badger interactions are usually fairly mild, and result in a low momentum offset (which averages to zero), at the relatively high pressures at a gate in peak flow, three-badger interactions are common. These result in significant net-momentum offsets, and badger misalignment; thus enhancing the gate surface effects and throttling badger flow...

I guess it would depend on how you define badgers. Obviously, if served sliced or ground, badger meat could be less likely to choke a human than if said human just tackled the whole carcass.


This pre-suposses that the badger being consumed has expired. A human trying to eat a live badger would create an entirely different set of probabilities.

I'm really glad that you asked this question. Answerbagers I know have been fretting about this issue for some time. I hope my answer shed at least a little light on the subject.

1. Badgers will fuck you up, man...

My mother's high school sports teams were the Badgers, so someone had the bright idea to go out in the woods and catch one to use as a mascot. Unfortunately, Al Gore hadn't yet invented the internets so they couldn't google badgers and find out they're meaner than John McCain. After the thing fucked up a LOT of people (and this was with it IN its cage), they hauled it back out to the woods where they got it. They had to stick a piece of pipe through the cage wires (this was back in the day when a piece of pipe was 21 feet long) to carry it outside so it wouldn't kick anyone else's ass.
