Norwegian Court Convicts First Woman for Rape

Chad,
Do you ever drive a car, go by train, walk outside, climb stairs, or basically take part in just about any activity that a human can perform? Actually even when sitting quietly at home you run the risk of dying (space shuttles falling on your house, a herd of wilderbeast running through your house etc etc etc).
I thought this kind of extreme fear of aids went away 10 years ago. It's not that easy to get AIDS.
Cool how a basically funny thread ends up in a discussion about how likely 25 times 0% is :P

I don't see a reasonable analogy from walking down the street to sticking your schlong in someone's mouth...
patrickl:
The analogy is that you are afraid of something that has never happened before (and most likely never will) and yet you don't seem care about all the other everyday risks you run.
Bizarre how people always manage to take statistics out of context. Even 0% can apparently be a risk if you just imagine hard enough that it might go wrong.
