"heh...I let him go the first time for the lulz later."

Sad. Cartoon Physics claims another victim.

Mad_Radhu: KrispyKritter: antibiotics are your friend, but they don't jump in your mouth for you.

You are aware that they didn't exist prior to the 1940s, right?

Fleming discovered penicillin in the 1920's.

Antibiotics existed long before that, as early as the 1900s. Penicillin was just the first one that was relatively safe. (Prior to that, all of them were synthesized from industrial dyes.)

Whenever I hear about going over the falls in a barrel, I think of Woody woodpecker.

As a tour guide in Niagara Falls, I would tell this story.

20 YEARS AGO.

Was this submitted through dial-up?

And for those who remember the latter half of the 20th Century, John Glenn was a national hero when orbited the Earth and came back safety. Shortly afterwards, he was injured slipping in a bathtub.

/That's why they have those non-skid strips in the shower.

Reminds me of that story from a while back about the woman who "survived brutal Nazi and Communist regimes to ultimately be brought down by a banana" that fell on her leg (she had some kind of disease that made her skin extra delicate and the stem scratched her)

I can't recall where or when I read it, but for some reason I remember reading that all the "ride a barrel over the falls" stunts were hoaxes.

Naa, there were real ones. They all got hurt REALLY badly. I still say the best over-a-barrel story was the moron who thought tying weights to his feet to "stop the barrel from tumbling" would be BRILLIANT. Aside from the fact that PHYSICS DON'T WORK THAT WAY and all he ended up doing was changing the point around which the barrel rotated, he also failed to take into account how the added weight would affect his landing - it ripped his arms (which had been holding on to handles mounted to the lid of the barrel) clean off, broke through the bottom of the barrel, and sank him to the bottom like a stone or an anvil... or a moron with WEIGHTS STRAPPED TO HIS FEET IN THE MIDDLE OF NIAGRA FALLS
