Sounds like a virus to me. But there are many kids who use windoz too.

Sure but don't blame Windows. Macs get them, Linux and other *nix get them.

Just because the majority of the world uses Windows, it is to blame
according to a lot of people. Thus, if the majority of cars in the world
were red, then it would be that colour to blame for road accidents!

I think red cars actually do cause more accidents than any other color.

Heigh-Ho! Silver Cars Are Safer

THURSDAY, Dec. 18 (HealthDayNews) -- The color of your car might affect
your chance of being injured in a road accident, New Zealand researchers
report.

Silver cars are less likely to be involved in a crash than autos of
other colors, says a report by epidemiologists at the University of
Auckland. Their analysis of statistics from a two-year study of auto
accidents in Auckland also finds "a significant increased risk of a
serious injury" in brown vehicles and a slightly increased risk for
black and green cars.

The report comes in a traditionally semi-serious Christmas issue of the
British Medical Journal that is devoted to studies determinedly off the
beaten track. For example, another study is an analysis of how elderly
and disabled pedestrians are depicted on road traffic signs in 119
countries.

But Sue Furness, a research fellow at the university's School of Public
Health who submitted the car-color paper as her dissertation for a
master's degree, stands by the results.

"Our conclusions are valid for the location where the study was done,"
Furness says. But, she adds, "how valid they are for other settings is
questionable because studies haven't been done elsewhere."

Furness says that the study results would influence her choice of a car
color, and that the color issue seems to be affecting auto buyers around
the world.

"Silver cars are becoming more popular with new car buyers," she says.

A more jaundiced view is taken by Russ Rader, a spokesman for the U.S.
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, whose experts went to the
trouble of reading the paper with serious intent.

"The claim that car color could have this effect in reducing accidents
is preposterous, but there will be people who read stories about this
and think it reflects reality," Rader says.

Vehicle color has sometimes been taken seriously as an issue in highway
safety, he acknowledges. Some communities have fire engines painted
yellow rather than the traditional red in the belief that they are more
easily identifiable, Rader acknowledges. But he adds, "there is no
evidence that color has the kind of effect that the authors are finding."

"They have left out things like the driver's sex, vehicle engine size,
vehicle age, and ambient light conditions," all of which can affect auto
safety, Rader says.

Using statistics on more than 571 accidents that caused injuries in
Auckland, Furness and her colleagues found that the risk of having a
serious injury was 50 percent lower in silver cars than in autos that
are white, yellow, gray, red or blue.

"Increasing the proportion of silver cars could be an effective passive
strategy to reduce the burden of injury from car crashes," they write.

But, they do add, "the extent to which these results are generalizable
to other settings is open to question."
