@ruthi At risk of stumbling into a joke, I'm wondering what that'd taste like. Flaky pastry? in reply to ruthi 14:35:40, 2014-09-14
I think the weirdest thing about modern protests is how easily everyone gets professionally printed signs. Looks like corperate sponsorship. 14:38:16, 2014-09-14

@RealNunners If UK gov try to weasel their way out of accepting Yes vote, troops to Scotland to prevent "rioting". Scottish terrorism rises. in reply to RealNunners 15:30:49, 2014-09-14
@RealNunners Dig hard enough and I'm sure they'd find some way to make the vote sound unrepresentative or invalid while hunting options. in reply to RealNunners 15:34:09, 2014-09-14
@RealNunners If there's a sucessful Yes vote, "Scottish terrorists" is my prediction for new terms to appear on the BBC next year. in reply to RealNunners 15:35:46, 2014-09-14

Wow, I was an order of magnitude off. Thought it's be hundreds. Apparently number of people who die per day in the UK is about 1631. 20:08:51, 2014-09-14
That's the annual death rate per thousand, multiplied to match population, divided by 365. About 595000 annually. 20:10:27, 2014-09-14
@corvidy Yep. According to CIA World Factbook 9.34 deaths per 1000 vs 12.22 births per 1000. in reply to corvidy 20:12:18, 2014-09-14
Mostly I looked it up because it seemed negligent not to mention deaths on the news. Bit impractical on a national level it seems. 20:13:54, 2014-09-14
Though we do have News 24 and I'm sure you could read one name in under the 1.1minutes required to fit them all in in a day. 20:16:06, 2014-09-14
Ignored the extreme though, why aren't obituaries carried on local news? "the following local residents passed away yesterday.." 20:17:40, 2014-09-14
It's not like deaths aren't already reported for official records. 20:19:13, 2014-09-14
Only about 1.5 murders per day though. 20:24:33, 2014-09-14
Found another mistake in my casting spreadsheet. At least this time it's the sort that costs pennies not pounds. 21:58:25, 2014-09-14
