What I learned today (yesterday, really), December 24-25

Americans are 6 percent more likely to get in an automobile accident on April 15: "tax day, likely due to driver distraction caused by stress."

Other interesting car crash facts: men are responsible for 57% of all crashes, but if it's due to mashing the wrong pedal, there's a two-thirds chance a woman was behind the wheel; automobile fatalities are now just 15% as frequent as they were sixty years ago; thanks to reduced fatality rates, fewer people died in an accident last year than they did in 1949, when the population of the United States was less than 150 million.
