Re: 3 Friends Record Themselves Drowning In Pond
Before I learned to swim I was taught to dog-paddle just in case something like this happened. They're all in their 20's. They should have known better. If you can't swim stay away from water.

Re: 3 Friends Record Themselves Drowning In Pond
Errr... Nope. This couldn't be further the truth. You're saying anyone who has taken a beginners swimming lessons can not drown in water that's deeper than their height? You're saying beginners swimming lessons eradicates any chance of panic and drowning? You're basically saying anyone who has ever taken beginners swimming lessons hasn't ever drowned?  |

Re: 3 Friends Record Themselves Drowning In Pond
maybe 1 of these can try to explain the unexplainable  A. not first take, (many practice (dry) runs) B. syncronized drowning team tryouts , passed C. weren't swimmers , they were drowners (very good ones) D. FUCKTARDS       :xyx thumbs: |

Re: 3 Friends Record Themselves Drowning In Pond
At least they were having an AWESOME time before they died = ) I almost drowned when I was 5, but I wouldn't be stupid enough even THEN to get caught up in some shit like this... so glad I know how to swim now |

Re: 3 Friends Record Themselves Drowning In Pond
Yes, basic swimming lessons eliminate virtually all stupid deaths. It's like wearing a seatbelt. Fortunately, some natural selection still exists. In another few hundred years that village will have a natural aversion to water.

Re: 3 Friends Record Themselves Drowning In Pond
Regrettably, this list is nonsense based on poor methodology. The researchers concocted "estimates" for many of the countries listed by all sorts of different methods, none of them the same as the last, and none directly related to IQ testing. That's a problem. Allow me to give an example of what I mean: John had 3 frogs and wanted to see which one could jump the highest, so he performed tests to determine estimates. He measured Froggy A's hind leg to body length ratio, and estimated, based on that factor, that Froggy A could jump 8 inches vertically. For Froggy B, John carefully tabulated the number of calories the frog ate per day and closely measured the distance it travelled, and arrived at an estimated jump maximum of 14 inches by measuring how much energy Froggy B's muscles consumed in various movements, and then calculating the potential torque Froggy B's muscles could produce and how far a mass with the volume and density of Froggy B's body could be moved by that torque at a pressure of 1 atmosphere and a temperature of 295 Kelvin (an approximation of Froggy B's preferred physical environment). For his final estimated John procured a 54 cm science stick and poked Froggy C in the butt, and then measured how high he jumped, a height of 12.4 inches. John thus concluded Froggy B had the greatest jumping ability. That's basically what went on with this study. For Equatorial Guinea, the lowest one, they literally went to a special home for mentally handicapped children in Spain that had several kids with Guinean parents, and built their estimate off those kids. It would be estimating the IQ of the average American by talking to all the kids on a short bus. |
