How many suicides do you think are caused by auto wrecks? I mean, how would you ever know?
This came up as I finished The Tipping Point which discussed how, stay with me here, even suicides can be contagious. That is, one death can give other people the "courage" to do that act. And, as attempted evidence, the author cited studies that show an increase in fatal car crashes the day after a highly publicized suicide.
(Uh, this does not constitute a Thursday afternoon pick me up.)
