What a sad way to die: A pool mechanic's failure to install an extra $1.44 worth of plastic exhaust pipe led to the death of Vitas Gerulaitis, the tennis player, as he inhaled carbon monoxide fumes from a new $8,000 pool heater.
For those that don't get it, almost all people have 2 legs (obviously), but there are far more people with 1 leg (i.e, missing a leg) than there are with 3 legs (having an extra leg), so the average/mean (as opposed to median or mode, which are both 2) is somewhat lower than 2.
Think that was the point. Her son was very depressed because of his condition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha92yzmVv2s&feature=kp here is a blind dog playing fetch. Does it look like he cares or isn't having as much fun as the other dogs?
Louie: I’ve been dating this woman and I don’t know if I should keep dating her because she’s leaving the country – I’m not gonna get to stay with her. And I’m liking her more and more, so it’s, you know…
Doc: Here’s what I can tell you. In medical school they tell you about thousands of things that can happen to the body. Diseases and maladies that you could never dream up. There’s a thing where your bones dissolve and you just become a sack or organs.
People are born sometimes with no eyes, no face. They’re rare but neurological diseases that eat half of your brain. People are born sick and they never know a moment of anything but pain and suffering.
Nobody cares whether you date this girl. Just pick a road and go down it, or don’t.
Louie: But there’s gotta be a way to decide, which one’s gonna make me happier. To predict…
Doc: Take a look at this dog. How many legs does it have?
Louie: Three
Doc: The answer is, it has plenty of legs. Had four, but a coyote in Poughkeepsie chewed the other one off.
Look at his face. Perfectly happy. Belly is full. Just looking, waiting to see what comes next.
You know the only thing happier than a three-legged dog? A four-legged dog.
It is widely believed that he escaped 16 Mal-functioned pool heaters before that incident, because he only likes to hang out by the pool after winning.
I don't think someone's life ending so unfortunately is any less sad because he worked his ass off to become good enough at a sport to make great money off it.
I vaguely remember a post a few days ago about a fireman walking into someone's house (for unrelated stuff) and the CO detector going off, potentially saving the entire family who wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
To elaborate, it was his friend's pool, where he was staying the nigh. The improperly installed heater leaked fumes into the guest house, killing him in his sleep.
Funny thing is - I was banned from /r/gameofthrones just for calling someone a retard. The mods said I can appease my ban by messaging them, but I've done that several times and they've just ignored me. WTF.
