I had to read that thrice before I got it.

I blame the public schools.

I think the "Obvious" tag would be more appropriate.

He was probably on LSD just before he got to Navy Pier.

And that's why you don't jump into Great Lakes.

========================================================

Septic shock is dying of an overwhelming infection. So no.

I ASSUME you probably meant hypothermia/really cold water... which, yes, likely negatively contributed to his condition.

No. I thought Septic Shock was when your blood stream is overwhelmed with toxins. that was what I was going for.

Eh, it's not the 50s anymore. I swam in the lake in Gary in the '80s, and it's even cleaner now. I did cut my foot on a submerged car once though.

Damn. I've swam in Lake Michigan many a time, but I can't say I ever had "cut my foot on a submerged car" on my list of worries. When I swam in the Detroit, sure.

I swam in Lake St. Clair once. Damn, that was cold.

Depends on the month - it can be pretty pleasant in August.

Then again, I never put my head under the water.
