Here's an oldie:

In WWI allied soldiers wore cloth caps. As a safety precaution in WWII, soldiers were issued with metal helmets for protection.

However, a higher incidence of head injuries was reported in WWII than WWI. Why?

(one for the epidemiologists ;) )

I would think the increae in reported head injuries would be the result of more people surviving to report the head injuries.

Well, we can take the creative parts, print them out and hang them on the wall in the office :)
Or we could try to write creative things using a bottle of green ketchup.
Or we can close this thread and give points for creativity :)
