Noxious Fumes

Okay, I'm always telling J he needs to be careful with all those emissions. I worry about my dog being in the same room with him for a long time when he's releasing his noxious fumes. I'm going to email him this story so he sees just how dangerous those noxious fumes are. Here is a nominee for the Darwin award. Darwin awards are given out for the persons who die in the most stupid manner. A terrible diet and a room with no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man who was killed by his own gas emissions. There was no mark on his body, and an autopsy showed large amounts of methane gas in his system. His diet had consisted primarily of beans and cabbage (and a couple of other things). It was just the right combination of foods. It appears that the man died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed. Had he been outside or had his windows been opened, it wouldn't have been fatal. But the man was shut up in his nearly airtight bedroom. According to the article, "He was a big man with a huge capacity for creating "this deadly gas." Three of the rescuers got sick, and one was hospitalized. Now, wouldn't that make YOU be more careful about spending time closed up with a person with that capacity to emit gas?? I just may have to put him out in the yard.
