Question

What fruit kills more people a year than sharks?

Answer 1

Bananas, giant spiders jump out and bite people when the pick them.

Answer 2

Do you mean falling coconuts?

Answer 3

Peanuts. Botanically speaking, they are a fruit (a legume, to be precise).  Exact figures vary from source to source, but in the US around 55 people a year die from allergic reactions to peanuts, whereas shark attacks account for only 10-15 deaths worldwide.

Edit: Nice try, Richard S, but the "150 deaths per year from falling coconuts" is pure baloney! (see http://www.straightdope.com/columns/0207... )
