According to the social security administration there is a **7.2%** chance that an 81 year old man living in the US will die in the next 12 months. I share this for no reason what so ever.
I have no why I felt like sharing this today, but the thought occurs to me that if I had a 7.2% chance of dying on my way to thanksgiving dinner I probably would not go, and might look for a safer *alternative*.
@antares What they meant was that you'd have almost a 93% chance of living thru Thanksgiving dinner. Which is pretty good in some circles.
