How can you possibly include all these things as dangerous?  I've been a
climber for at least huh, lessee, when did they invent aluminum??
Anyway, I've never broken anything, damaged myself or even taken a big
fall.  Not counting the 120' slide off Gannett peak, but that's another
story.  And just because I came from the hospital where my girlfriend is
getting her arm put back together after her first mountaineering trip, one
can't assume climbing is unsafe.  I did get run over on my bicycle once
but that was by a South Salt Lake police officer, so it doesn't count.
I haven't totaled a small sports car since I took the digital systems lab...
and that was just to keep from splattering a pedestrain all over my lab kit!
Dangerous, INDEED!

Perhaps reading the news when I should be whacking on that (gag, wretch) IBM
PC is dangerous, but I don't think I'll worry about it...
