Risk and Retribution.

Now, here’s an interesting fact:

Research demonstrates that every cupcake you eat in excess of three a week statistically reduces your life expectancy by seventeen minutes.

No? OK, I made that one up, but a hell of a lot of the lets-find-something-else-to-frighten-people-with crap that the experts seeking a reason for their existence throw at us is nearly as bad. Like:

‘If you don’t drink five litres of water a day, you’ll be dehydrated and become ill.’

I didn’t make that one up.

And on a completely different note, I’m pleased to see that the panel of doctors is still badgering the government to hold a proper inquest into the death of Dr David Kelly. I wonder whether Tony Blair has got his suitcase packed.
