The Why We Die Now
Researchers at Britain's Southampton University examined more than 40,000 death certificates in an attempt to find a correlation between cause of death and occupation. The results are pretty much what you'd expect (coal miners run an above-average risk of succumbing to pneumoconiosis, people who work in bars are more likely to expire due to alcohol, etc.) But the Independent offers a helpful caution against minsiterpretation, noting that statistical association does not necessarily mean causation:
For example, it is a fact that male hairdressers are much more likely than almost anyone else to die from Aids. But this does not in any case suggest that cutting hair causes Aids, because the statistics also show that women hairdressers are less likely than most people to die from the disease.
Hmm. Maybe it's got something to do with exposure to Barbicide? We need more research!
IT'S TEH BUTTSEX
So there is a difference between a male hairdresser and a barber?
white shoes; white hair.
A man goes into a barber shop and says he wants to look like James Dean. The barber gets the clippers out and gives him a #1 crop all over.
"But James Dean doesn't look like that!" the customer exclaims.
"He would if he came in here" the barber replies.
(That wouldn't happen with a "male hairdresser")
This guy definitely goes to a hairdresser

Being a barber is a choice. Hairdressing is a calling.
Ha!
Actually, hairdresser is its own gender.

This is an anomolous result obviously explained by Lifestyle Symbiosis, as one finds in the overwhelming percentage of writers who die from cirrhosis, politicans from syphillis, and lawyers by lightning strikes.
Lighting strikes? I've only been preparing myself for death by a thousand papercuts.
Sadly this is not possible or I would be speaking to you from the great beyond.

Flowbees for everyone!
Is Aids different from AIDS, or does working for the Independent cause with stupidness? Guess it depends on who wrote it–a male or a woman.
