That's probably true. I wonder, though, if the pen might be mightier if we limit our study strictly to the industrialized nations? Actually, I'm pretty skeptical about the figure on deaths from pens, but I haven't yet found a source on it.

Java, consider the foreign countries and Afrika, they have swords there, and there is also fighting there. Swords are still being used in warfare, so I think there will be more then 100 death per year due to a sword, sadly :(

I've heard the ballpoint pen statistic before but never been able to confirm it. Anyone?

It does sound believable, though.

What I like about it is this: I sincerely doubt that anywhere near that many people die from swords, so the pen really is mightier!

On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year. :eek:

"MONTH". ...lol

"The latest Census data (P60-221, for you skeptics) shows that in 2002 the average white household had an income of just under $47,000, while the average Asian American household had an income of just over $52,600. Does that prove discrimination against whites?"

It is anatomically impossible to lick your elbow.

There has only been one King John in the entire recorded history of Western civilization. He was so universally despised that royalty eschewed the name ever after.

At 4am in the morning JavaGuy seems to be one hundred percent correct. Take it from me, i'm doing a BSc in Physics and the math checks out.

And teachers, well they always need to feel superior so they will come up with any random fact to make them look good. I don't know how many times i've had to correct my sisters because they say "but my teacher said!"
sorry, random

Gradius,
I wasn't trying to give you a hard time at all. Just showing some ways a claim like that can be evaluated with a minimum of research, just some basic math.

I still discover things all the time that I thought were true and are actually verifiably false, and I don't think I'm dumb by any stretch of the imagination. Skepticism pays. :D
