---ohmyscience ---You are a moron. You just said that 40,000 americans die in auto accidents a day. and then you turn around and say save 40,000 americans annually---Really? Where did I say that?

My quote in its entirety:  ---Twenty-eight people eh? Multiply that number by FOUR and you have the number of Americans killed every day on American Highways (approximately 40,000)

REMOVE AUTOMOBILES FROM THE ROADS TODAY; save 40,000 AMEICAN LIVES ANNUALLY!!!!!---

I know basic math can be challenging so I am going to hold your hand and walk you through this. Are you ready boyo? Do you have your crayon and child-safe non-toxic paper?

Good; let us begin the lesson:

4 (my number) * [* is the symbol for multiplication] 28 (the number provided by Necro/Herk the Jerk) = 112 deaths / 1 day

Simplified: 4 * 28 = 112

Are you with me so far sweetheart?

There are approximately 365 days in the year.

So (112 deaths / 1 day) * (365 days) = 40,880 deaths/1 year

Simplified: 112 * 365 = 40,880

Now I stated that APPROXIMATELY 40,000 Americans die on the road each year in automobile related accidents. The word in ALL CAPS in the previous sentence is an important word.

This figure can be verified with the Department of Transportation (DOT) here:

Education is a wonderful thing boyo; I suggest you acquire one.
