I wish ill on no-one, but really, if you are killed by an exploding pop bottle or seniour-scooter, don't you think your time was already up and this was the universe's last-ditch effort to get rid of you?

Of topic......but dont think this is so silly, I have a scar on my chin where i was hit by an exploding 750ml coke bottle in 1987. Hot day, condensation, slippery hand, top half of bottle sheared of when colliding with ground, 3hrs in casualty, felt like a boxers uppercut. The cut was the the force of the bottle hitting me, not anything to do with sharp glass.
