Found this on the back page of a recent Newsweek.

Murders (2008) - 14,180

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
