Another thing about evolution, etc., . . . Why is it so dang easy to choke? Why are our esophagus and trachea so close together? It seems more likely the Intelligent Design of One with a (sick) sense of humor than an Evolutionary Accident in the most advanced creatures on the planet.

I will NOT be the first person to die from over-breathing. Don’t come in here quoting what you call scientific facts … whatever … I will NOT be the first person to die from over-breathing.

Namely, carbon dioxide, while not "good" to breathe, isn't poisonous in these doses. You compared it to a running vehicle in the garage. I hate to poke holes in your theory here, but the car is emitting carbon MONoxide. Carbon MONoxide IS poisonous. Its a painless way to off yourself because it robs the lungs of their ability to absorb oxygen. Carbon dioxide is the by-product of respiration (how can it be THAT poisonous if it naturally emanates from every mammal?). So while still gross to be breathing her waste, it won't kill you or reduce your lifespan. Your "alternative lifestyle" however, is another story, ya fairy. Also, I can attest to the afore mentioned GWH utterances. "From time to time", he quotes the movie while asleep. It's both endearing and hilarious. Two more points. One, Chico is also the sweetest waker-upper I've ever seen. Every morning, regardless of the circumstances surrounding being awoken, Chico was sunny from the moment he opened his eyes. However, and number two, sometimes he would keep his eyes closed after waking in an attempt to convinve us, his roommates, that he was actually dead. When we would shake him to see if he was in fact dead, like a viper, he would strike out and grab our wrists, intending to scare the shit out of us. It rarely worked, but was a lark each and every time. 2BETA4LIFE Bill Nye The Science Guy here to disspell some myths in your piece.
