    Actually, I don't think that it is quite as bad as methanol
    You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

      "SEAL" is not a rate.
      Many moons ago, I convinced one of my workmates that I was an ex-navy SEAL. I'm not sure why he believed me, espec since I was wearing an army-surplus army hat and jacket. The reason I was so skinny, of course, was due to my having appendicitus(sp?) and being laid up in the hospital so long I lost a lot of weight. As you are probably well aware, the secret signal of navy SEALs is to cross your hands and make a barking sound like a seal.

      Had him going for 6 months, until I couldn't take it anymore and burst his bubble.

          You are correct sir!

          While small quantities (~ 15 g) of isopropanol can be fatal if left untreated, it is not nearly as toxic as methanol or ethylene glycol.[6]

          Still, I'd have to guess that a whole 1-pintish bottle would put you six feet under if you don't call an ambulance in time.
          Unbelievable!

            ugh, considering that in 1 liter there is 50 times the lethal dose, yeah, I think drinking it is a bad idea...

              Incidentally just this morning I heard a Phil Hendrie gag where his "guest" was the owner of a "family" grocery store and felt obligated to give customers the third degree about suspicious buys, such as a 18-year-old girl "dressed up for the night" and buying only a cucumber, or two flamboyant thirtysomething males buying only a gallon can of Crisco lard.

              As always the callers bought it hook, line, and sinker.
              Unbelievable!

                And you railed on me for not turning myself in for ramming an old whore with my car? You're a murderer and if this were 50 years ago you would be in front of a firing squad.

                  Murderer? An omission to act is only criminally liable if there is a legal duty to act.

                  Since when was there a legal duty to prevent Darwin Award winners from acheiving their purpose?

                    I thought SEALs were all officers?

                      You thought incorrectly.

                        Huh. Well, I don't know much about the Navy except that you guys are on boats, and that President Carter was a submariner. Or boomer. There's some nickname that goes with that.

                        But that's one reason why they bucked the trend of naming carriers after Presidents, and named a submarine after him instead.

                          Why?
                          Why does it bother you that people talk about things that interest them?

                                That would mean something if you could comprehend what you just said.
