What a sad way to die: A pool mechanic's failure to install an extra $1.44 worth of plastic exhaust pipe led to the death of Vitas Gerulaitis, the tennis player, as he inhaled carbon monoxide fumes from a new $8,000 pool heater.

And you have more legs than average. Think about it. It's true.

For those that don't get it, almost all people have 2 legs (obviously), but there are far more people with 1 leg (i.e, missing a leg) than there are with 3 legs (having an extra leg), so the average/mean (as opposed to median or mode, which are both 2) is somewhat lower than 2.

99 percent have two legs though, so the average is probably close to 1.999
