'"The annual risk of drowning in a bathtub is one in 800,000, while the annual risk of being killed by a terrorist is one in 20 million." In other words, you are about 25 times more likely to drown in your bathtub than to be killed by a terrorist.'

"Jeffrey Goldberg Confesses: The real “Terror Threat” is From Neocons Like Him"

According to the above, the "Terror-Bathtub" meme went viral, someone at Mossad became concerned, and Jeffrey Goldberg was asked to respond.

Here's Goldberg's article, also linked in the text of the above...

"Opinion: Terrorism vs. bathtubs: the false analogy on danger"
http://www.northjersey.com/news/opinions/terror_061313.html

A sample from Jeff's article...

"Although it’s true that bathtub accidents account for a too-large number of deaths, it isn’t true that bathtubs are engaged in a conspiracy with other bathtubs to murder ever-larger numbers of Americans."

In the battle of words, I hope the "Terror-Bathtub" debate does indeed go viral.

Want to know something creepy,there, happytobe?

in 2012, within a week of each other,
two female celebrities known as Jasmin de Grazia and Whitney Houston were found apparently drowned in their bathtubs.

both deaths were surrounded by suspicion of foul play.

I can definitely see why people find some meaning in this particular meme!
