3 cows got into a fight in Undera village here, a passing car got tipped over, minor injuries to occupants...
Heard on History channel: "Now we have a perfect digital copy of the Khufu pyramid, in case it should dissappear." Or maybe stolen, during the night 
?

I think cows are the most deadly animal in Sweden. Somehwere between 1-3 persons die each year from wasps and bees.
Around 300 persons get bitten by snakes (adder) every year and some 70 need medical care at a hospital. Deaths from snake bites are rare - 1 every 10 years.
And that leaves us with cows ... (and maybe horses) ...
TYpical Swedish cow:
How could someone NOT see that coming?
But deaths from cows probably occur on ranches, not the highway. Maybe a few at the rodeo, but that’s usually a *bull*.

Don't say that. We have the Cows United Armo For Cutting Up Man - STCKU(r) - that are hiding all over Sweden, raiding cities and killing journalists, politicans, union leaders ...

No one mentions how many people cats kill, a scratch from a cat can cause sepsis, and sepsis kills 48,000 people in the UK every year, it's just no figures seem to indicate how many of those sepsis cases are the result of cats or other scratches.
ChubbyEmu on Youtube has made a video about that and a video about a dog's killer saliva.

- What key is it in, Robbie? ... F-demented!
Youtube thought I had had my share of flatearthers, anti-laagie-löögie (check Creaky Blinder on Youtube) and trumpets and decided I needed my mood lightened. And it shure become lightened a lot and I ended up sitting with a corky smile and wet eyes ...

Not exactly "fun", but since the thread has taken (unintentionally) a dramatic change of direction: cows and pigs are the deadliest animals in US by far: in 2019 (last pre-Covid statistics), 659000 died of cardiovascular disease, 150000 of Stroke, both caused or STRONGLY influenced by clogged arteries.
As a parallel confirmation, rice and fish fed Japanese regularly reached 94 to 107 years age; after they started eating hamburger and such post WW2, people above 50 started having coronaries and strokes 😱
This one has gone to the dark side for a bit, so why not a reminder about Anopheles mosquito; malaria deaths 627,000 in 2020.
You know what else increased in Japan post WW2? Cigarette smoking which is one of the biggest culprits of cardiovascular disease.
Tokyo schools had to put bigger seats twice since WWII till about 1975, when the book I read about Japan was written. The kids in the same grades got bigger, thanks to improved nutrition.
Also, SUGAR...the average person drinks sugary stuff, not water. Both in Japan and the USA. Even tap water is not in fashion, they want exotic bottled water, which contains leachates from plastic.
The excess calories become fat.
The average 2 liter cola bottle contains 600 grams or so of sugar. And candy....don't go there.
And also preserved meat, like sausages and so on, full of salt.
An unwelcome side effect has been noticed, the average age of menarche (starting of menstrual periods) has reduced by up to three years in American females, who have eaten a lot of processed meat, full of hormones fed to the animals for growth.
The chicken industry has been blamed, though I cannot be responsible for the opinion of others.
A lot of those foods were simply not part of the average person's diet before WWII in Japan and the USA.

Diethylstilbestrol was responsible for quite a few problems, cervical cancer among them, but the hormones have been gone from American food for forty years now, yet most of these hormonal changes persist.
"Hormonal analogues" and precursors are being blamed. Their origin is in the barrage of chemicals in our daily life, so many considered as GRAS(generally recognised as safe), simply because they had been in use before there was any thought to examine them for potential problems.
Colorings, plasticisers, flavorings, lubricants, preservatives, the list goes long, not to mention the hardly understood drugs, like thalidomide
that did so much damage to the unborn(before finding good work as an anti-leprosy drug).

Some hormones, antibiotics and growth agents are fed / injected to animals bred for food. Chicken is particularly nasty, and those residues show up in the meat.
Technically, they are intended for animals, and do not affect humans.
In reality, they are bad, I have seen girls starting their monthly cycles two to three years before their own mothers did, simply because the food they ate had more animal, dairy and processed food content, more sugar too...
Diets have changed, and the long term affects of convenience foods show up much later for them to be correlated to the problems caused.

All hormones and antibiotics are banned from food animals here, it was a gradual process starting in '78, over eight years or so.
The amusing thing is we still see ads claiming 'antibiotic free!' even though they have no choice.
The effects of diet can show rather quickly, I have Osgood-Schlautter syndrome(elongation of the tibial tubercale) from too much protein during a certain stage of bone growth.
