If you have ever wondered, while boarding a plane, what your odds are that a plane will crash, ending as a fiery mass of steel, you can allay your curiosity with the Book of Odds website which does the work for you. It calculates the odds of everything from the chance that your girlfriend has cheated on you to the odds that you will die in an incident related to a vending machine.
