how fucking stupid do you have to be to hold a water drinking contest. its practically a certainty someones dumb enough to drink so much that they drown themselves (which is what water intoxication is).

This is really more like, what's with all the stupid promo contests lately? Do they have 20 year olds manage these companies?

So I guess a Human life is worth 16 million these days...
This is so sad. Quote:

you're body conducts impulses through the body through synapse (bio 12). Which means your body is charged and needs a medium to pass impulses through.
ie. your brain needs to send impulses to your body; heart, limbs, organs, etc.
If too much water is consumed the concentration of sodium is lowered relative to the amount of water. ie. diluted. Thus, there isn't a medium for impulses to travel and if no impulses can be sent then the body cannot function..
heart stops, brain doesn't function, etc.

| human lives are worth somewhere between 1 - 2 million actually. the extra 14-15 million in there is because the death was due to negligence i guess.
