Found this on the back page of a recent Newsweek.

"Using the most recent U.S. data available, we hereby present a list of unsettling threats and their far riskier counterparts.

Murders (2008) - 14,180
Suicides ( 2006) - 33,289

Children abducted by strangers (1999) - 115
Children who drowned in pools (2006) - 288

Burglaries (2007) - 2.2 million
Identity thefts (2005) - 8.3 million

Shark attacks (2009) - 28
Dog bites - 4.5 million

Americans killed by terrorist attacks worldwide (2008) - 33
Americans who die from seasonal flu - 36,171

Deaths by allergic reaction to peanuts - 50-100
Deaths by unintentional poisoning (2006) - 27,531

Women who die from breast cancer (2009) - 40,170
