11 percent of murder victims were killed by an "intimate" http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/intimates.htm

misleading. i'm guessing the number of murder victims is many orders of magnitude smaller than marriages, and is negligible.
I like how I'm downvoted for a joke response to a worthless uncited statistic. If its because you think its not funny fine. I sincerely hope no readers of HN are dumb enough to actually be "mislead" by it.
There's a lot of herd phenomena on HN. Humans are social animals, and animals are dumb by nature.
