There were 112,521 8 year old girls in Sweden on the first of January 1994 and there were exactly the same number of 9 year olds on the 1st Jan 1995 and this is unique in statistics because it suggests that none died, no one emigrated, no one of that age entered the country to live, precisely the same number survived the whole year.
See I told you! They were all born on 1st Jan so they all had their 9th birthday the same day!!

In Britain in 1994, 8 people were injured by place mats.
13 sustained cruet injuries.
5 were wounded by dustpans.
8 suffered as a result of a bread-bin accident.
5 were hurt by sieves.
14 fell foul of a serving trolley.
17 were treated for injuries caused by a draft excluder.
476 people were injured while on the lavatory.
Underwear hurt 11 people.
But tea cosy damge was down from 3 in 1993 to nil in 1994.
I'd heard domestic violence was on the rise.
