FTFA Scott Peterson also tells us that the surf and waves, played a part in the drowning. An autopsy is being done.

I think it was the water.

Remember in old loony toons cartoons when a character drowned they had the characters hand coming up three times and counting off on the fingers each time they came up before they drowned?

what was up with that?

My brother was at that beach yesterday. I just called him in a panic. He's fine.

This headline is awesome.

The unnecessary comma makes it extra thought provoking.

It's even more helpful when a newscast provides a picture of what a rapist may look like:

The Surf and Waves were the best thing about "The Drowning" as far as music and acting goes. That ain't saying much.

Florida tag sadly missing. Drowning may have been a factor.

At this time, Volusia County Beach Patrol is advising everyone to stay out of the ocean Sunday through Monday. This was the first drowing of the 2009 year.

For what purpose?
To undertake a 2-day study to determine the wetness of the water?

It's funny, but I understand the thought process that goes into this.

You're sitting there on your Saturday morning, and your boss wants you to find a picture relevant to drowning for a breaking story. You search the stock images you have for "drowning," and nothing comes up. You search again for "drown" and "drowned," and nothing comes up. You could scan through stock image websites, looking for the best metaphoric representation of drowning, but who cares at that point? Eventually you just grab a stock "water" photo, because all you want to do is go back to sleeping off your hangover.

Because there was a pre-internets meme that people would surface three times before they drowned. So Looney Tunes was trying to get a laugh out of that, while at the same time lessening the horror implicit in having one of their delightful anthropomorphized animals die of watery suffocation.

?? Scott Peterson ?? I thought that farker was still in jail for killing Laci. What does Scott know about drowning? He killed them before he went fishing.

Yeah, it's kind of like this.
 
2009-08-23 06:55:41 PM

The implication, being, that it is very difficult, to drown, on dry, land. Unless surf and waves, play a part. Comma.

Maybe this one should have had the Florida tag.

Wow, 40+ comments in and no one commented on the headline, so I will:


Body Surfer drowns on Volusia County beach

Drowns...ON...the beach. Impressive.

An old myth says that a drowning person will surface three times before they go down for good. Don't ask me to explain where that started, or how I know it, I don't have the answer to either question.
