For those who want to buy the music it’s on iTunes and CD Baby. Album is Trebuchet, by George Hrab, track 11. The other tracks are also good, more diverse and less funky.

For those who don’t like the music, there’s the mute button.

Prett sure I recall reading about these somewhere!

Like (#10) Alastair, I’m surprised that the odds of dying from terrorism and shark attack are so low as to be equal (or less) with dying from Gamma ray burst and asteroid impact respectivley.

Of course there’s “lies, durn lies and statistics” as they say isn’t there – and some groups will be more at risk from some things than others. Living in Oz and loving swimming, my chances of dying in shark attack are probably raised above the human average. Being a Western my chances of dying in terorism are higher because that’s who the terrorists are after. Those living inland who rarely go for a swim aren’t likely to fall victim to sharks and those who aren’t Westerners aren’t as likely to die in terrorist attacks so .. yeah, I”m curious as to how they calculate those odds.

Cosmic hazards – supernovae, gamma ray bursters, bolide impacts etc. – are, of course, global & undiscriminating (for want of a better word) and while highly infrequent would potentially wipe out huge numbers if they happen.

IIRC, the beam of a GRB within fatal range would be wider than the solar system, so the odds are pretty good.

I was hoping for a dedicated video the the music. Outstanding!

Now, I just need to catch more episodes of Bad Universe!
