According to http://test.thespark.com/deathtest/ I'm going to pop my clogs on February 10, 2049
at the age of 78 years old The possible ways to pre-empt my demise are:
Cancer (27%)
Alcoholism (10%)
Homicide (10%)
Heart Attack (9%)
Drowning (9%)
Alien Abduction (8%)
(I wonder if this takes into account the chance of me being drowned by an alcoholic alien!) Oh well I can't do any more work this afternoon after this news...

It is evident from those statistics that the number of hostile aliens is only slightly lower than the number of standing bodies of water in your area. That's amazing!
