That's not funny. And you'll know how not funny it is when the pandas come. And they will come.

Pantagrapher, I heard that men are more likely to get bitten by panda bears, too. I didn't make it up. That's science.

Why Must isn't that far off. Sayeth the weather service: "...about one third of all injuries occur during work...[and] About another third of injuries occur during recreational or sports activities." I'm guessing more men than women work outdoors (construction, road work, etc) and play sports in the rain.

I'd guess men golfing more is probably the cause.

I wonder if men are more likely to be struck because they're taller. I should have been a scientist.
