Imagine a headline saying "Tens of thousands of women not raped last night." The story isn't that they dived, the story is that they died. What truly sucks is that people extrapolate the deaths of the few to characterize the practices of the many. A few stories like this hit the local press and before you know it, you're a death defying stunt diver, and doors start closing in your face. You won't be able to buy helium for your daughter's birthday balloons, let alone your own tanks. That's the true cost of idiocy in the water. You muck it up for everyone else, especially your poor family, who has to bury you. Ryan McNabb ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
