Welcome to the first installment of WEEKLY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!! (cue applause)
This will be a post I put up each Monday where I talk about something I researched that day. You know when you have random questions that you need answered the moment you think about it? Or when you end up on Wikipedia for hours, forgetting how you ended up there in the first place? Well, I'll be posting my similar adventures on this dumb website!!
HERE WE GOOOO:
Now, I started looking up "What time of day do most people like?" but of course, instead, I ended up searching "What time of day do most people die?" which is really more fascinating.
What I found:
This article from The Atlantic contains some interesting facts right off the bat: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/11/you-are-most-likely-to-die-at-11-am/265427/
When I began researching about why people die so often on their birthdays, I found almost inconclusive reasoning. Other articles seemed to claim that some people had a higher stress level on their birthday, like they fear aging, as I'm sure we all do at some point. There have been an increased heart attacks, strokes, and even accidental deaths. These lead me to believe humans like to do crazy things on their birthdays to celebrate!
Questions? Comments? Let's discuss!
