  ARG!  The perversity of the Universe tends towards a maximum!
I was unsure of the first figure, so I looked it up in the newspaper.
Guess what figure the newspaper fouled up... Arg!

  Serves me right for trying to verify my figures, I suppose.

Anyway, I am 90% positive the figure is .08%.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.

  As well, drinking while deceased probably *is* an offence in Ontario.
