It's Great To Be Australian!!
Here's a little Christmas cheer for all from the Australian Bureau of
Statistics
*31 Australians have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while
the fairy lights were plugged in.
*19 Australians have died in the last 3 years by eating Christmas
decorations they believed were chocolate.
*Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling
incidents.
*101 Australians since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys
pulled out of the soles of their feet.
*18 Australians had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit
cigarette in their mouth.
*A massive 543 Australians were admitted to casualty in the last two years
after opening bottles of beer with their teeth or eye socket.
*5 Australians were injured last year in accidents involving out of control
scalextric cars.
*3 Australians die each year testing if a 9V battery works on their tongue.
*142 Australians were injured in 1998 by not removing all the pins from new
shirts.
*58 Australians are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of
screwdrivers. and finally:
*8 Australians cracked their skull in 1997 after falling asleep (passing
out) while throwing up into the toilet.
YEP! Its great to be Australian!

Now that's a Aussieism I'm not familiar with, if you you would be so kind as to explain...
the rest sound like classic American Redneck moves, such as the cracking open a beer with one's teeth...never heard anyone trying to use an eye socket, but I suppose anything's possible in desparate times...but this one:
*3 Australians die each year testing if a 9V battery works on their tongue.
I do that all the time! How the fuck does one DIE from a little 9 volt? Even a fresh alkyline battery only puts out a few milliamps! I thought aussies were made of tougher stuff than that...

Scotz,
It's probably when they jerk back and fall off the 28th floor balcony.
The crackers referred to, you know as Xmas bonbons.

I don’t have a list right now, but you Aussies can’t out do us with anything! We have some of the worlds BIGGEST 
A few years back, we had a local with a frozen fuel line on a particularly brisk morning. He decided to heat a gallon of gasoline (petro  ) in a pan on his gas stove.
HEADLINE
Man Killed In Kitchen Explosion.
That one mad a few of the national lists, I know.
