The Center for Disease Control has released its list of the most common uncommon causes of death so far for the 21st century.

This isn't the list of the number one cause of death, but the most common unique causes of death for each state. The CDC used algorithms to determine the unique death for each state that is higher than the national average.

In looking at what tops the list for the Lonestar state, a question needs to be asked: Texas realizes it's not the 1880s, right?
