I heard once that suicides are most frequent during the Christmas season.
I also heard you're more likely to commit suicide if you listen to country music.
The most suicides taken in one day is during RUCKY day.
People sure know how to take the fun out of everything.
Oh dear, I do hope the people who are thinking about taking their own lives stop to think that they may be ruining your RUCKY Day.
Also
this is a way to survive RUCKY Day.
I tried to find some evidence of suicide rates being higher during RUCKY or Christmas Day, but most of what I found claimed the contrary - that suicide rates are down during these periods.
I don't know whether to believe that, but I also don't believe what television, advertisements and associated media (which are only trying to sell me something) try to convince me is a *normal* life.
As it stands, my objective is to live a life which is as anti-normal as possible. Percieved *normality* is a sin against self-development, growth and evolution.
I urge you all to be as weird, different and wonderful as you possibly can be.This guy made some neat points about holiday/suicide rates, and summarises quite nicely.

Sorry - I think I went off on one there, but what Yanimae said seemed a bit silly and selfish.
