damn lies and statistics

Damn that number 6, he's too sharp. A quiz with an answer I didn't think was in wiki and he got it. Went past a highway road sign of the scary informative nature that our local council excels in that said: One Third of All Road Fatalities are Locals. So what constitutes a local? What is the relative proportion of local vs non-local drivers on the road? Do the numbers include the local wildlife? It is certain that prior knowledge of pothole locations would decrease mortality - except at night after half a dozen guinesses when the potholes actually move about a bit. It's just lucky the locals never drink and drive.

I am starting to wonder how much Toyota are paying Jeremy to do obscene things to a Hilux. The performance of the vehicle on the trek to the north mag pole was just amazing though.
