Death quiz

[paddyfool 379]

Simple forum game: answer and ask random death related questions. Answer the question from the poster above, and follow up with a question of your own.

 

Question 1: Death comes for us all. The World Health Organisation are among those who measure how quickly it comes, and their 2015 life expectancy at birth statistics would indicate it comes sooner in Mexico than in the USA, and sooner in the USA than in Canada. But is the USA closer to Mexico or Canada on this index?

[The Mad Hatter 1,092]

Canada.

[paddyfool 379]

Actually, it's Mexico. Mexicans die 2.6 years younger than Americans, but Americans die 2.9 years younger than Canadians.

 

Your turn to ask a question.

which empire killed the most people

 

Depends on which historian you ask, and what share of the responsibility you attribute for which events that occured under what empire's rule, but arguably the British Empire (principally but by no means solely on account of famine deaths in India).  The Mongol empire would also be up there, though, as would the USSR, the Third Reich, and the Spanish empire.

 

The LD50 is a measure of how lethal a substance is based on the amount you'd have to give to kill 50% of those receiving it. Based on this metric, which of these substances is the most lethal?

1) Black Widow spider venom

2) Black Mamba venom

3) Botulinum toxin [botox]

4) Brexit

Well Parkingsons and Non Hodkins aren't real things, A Bladder Cancer is only a singular item - but MS is a common abbreviation of Multiple Sclerosis and is a real thing, so based on that I would have to go for C, MS.
