the fairy lights were plugged in.
*19 Australians have died in the last 3 years by eating Christmas
decorations they believed were chocolate.
*Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling
incidents.
*101 Australians since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys
pulled out of the soles of their feet.
*18 Australians had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit
cigarette in their mouth.
*A massive 543 Australians were admitted to casualty in the last two years
after opening bottles of beer with their teeth or eye socket.
*5 Australians were injured last year in accidents involving out of control

*3 Australians die each year testing if a 9V battery works on their tongue.
