BUT HOW MANY TOILETS ARE THERE? New York City most certainly does contain monuments and icons -- especially if, as I'm given to understand, Jacksonville's Alltel Stadium counts as one -- but it may suffer from a more serious threat: toilets. Your fact of the day, courtesy of John Mueller is this: "Outside of 2001, fewer people have died in America from international terrorism than have drowned in toilets."
Watch out!
