What're the Odds?

Did you know that:


The chances of dying in an asteroid collision are 1 in 20,000


The chances of becoming a movie star are about 24,550 to 1


The odds of striking it rich on Antiques Roadshow are 60,000 to 1


The chances of dying from a mountain lion attack in California: 1 in 32,000,000


The general odds of being killed by a falling coconut are 1 in 250,000,000


The chance of dying from a shark attack: 1 in 300,000,000


So to sum that all up, I'm more likely to find a career in acting than to be set for life because I got lucky on antiques road show.  This is assuming that I'm not killed in a freak accident first, like a shark attack, falling coconut, or mountain lion strike.  Apparently though, the most likely of all these events is that I'll die in an asteroid collision???? Who'd've thought....hmmm....
