Well they killed the fox. So Ted’s safe.

I’ve probably posted this before, but this podcast on rabies has some great rabies content:

If a rabid fox bites Ted Cruz I’d buy the little fucker a six-pack and a pizza. The fox, not Cruz.

Did you know the air we breathe contains only 21% oxygen – the majority is useless 78% nitrogen

Lol.

It’s great because this canned air idea was literally a bit in Spaceballs, which means post-2020 is exactly when it enters the real world.

Tbf there was a time I saw bottled water and was like wtf, it’s water.

Anyone know how flammable those things are?

By itself, oxygen is not technically flammable. Just don’t mix it with a fuel.

I’m still that way. Bottled water sends me into a rage. It’s the most insanely wasteful and stupid thing imaginable.

Maybe in USA#1. But in a lot of the world, bottled water is by far the most reliable potable water around.

And…?

Bottled waters are great (the good ones that cost a lot of money, not the shitty ones that poor people drink).

If it’s the only safe drinking water around, I don’t think it’s a “stupid thing”.

Being the only safe water for some people doesn’t make it any less stupid for everybody else. It’s also the most wasteful and inefficient way to get potable water to people who need it. And the ones who need it most usually can’t afford it.

Well, yeah. I was agreeing with you that it is stupid in the US, for example.

What else you got?

I got falling off this bridge in Costa Rica, where problem crocs are brought from all over the country, then fed so they won’t leave. Flipping over the railing actually would have been pretty easy to do, as the railing came up to about mid-thigh on me, and there was a little wall you had to climb over first to get off the road with busy traffic.


This is the view looking straight down when the river is low.

I imagine I’d land in the soft mud, alive but injured, probably with a broken ankle. The rest of the people on the bridge could only watch helplessly as the crocs fight over who gets to eat the tastiest parts of me (which actually did happen to a drunk guy who decided to take a swim in the river).

This guy is the crocodile man of Costa Rica or something.


This guy is a fucking idiot.
