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.
