I've watched about a dozen shows of the "Dirty Jobs" guy. I bet he's never dived a plane crash of dead bodies. That has got to be a creepy experience. Un-belting dead people from their seatbelts.

I first imaged how awful that would be when the son of RFK went down in the ocean with his wife.

Of course, he would be unlikely to have the dive experience needed, even if he is a diver. Much less, they could never use the footage.

To me, that doesn't sound creepy. I found a dead body floating in the middle of lake Mead about 20 years ago.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

No, I was in my boat going out fishing.

According to a study published last week that analyzed the deaths of more than 30,000 British adults, ADHD is linked with a lifespan that’s nearly seven years shorter for men, and about nine years shorter for women

According to The Atlantic, ADHD is linked to shorter lifespans because people with ADHD are more likely to engage in risky behaviors like substance abuse, unsafe sex, and dangerous driving, which can lead to health complications and increased mortality rates; they also often struggle with maintaining healthy lifestyle habits like exercise and nutrition, contributing to poorer overall health.

There's video after video on YouTube of fat people falling on stairs that have ice on them or snow or are wet from rain and I'm convinced that 95% of them have ADHD. They are not paying attention, their heads are shoved squarely up their rear ends. They know it's wet, they know it's frozen and yet they walk with their center of gravity in front of them so when their feet hit the slippery surface their feet immediately fly out in front of them and they go down the steps. ADHD behavior for sure.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

You may be confusing ADHD with stupidity.

Isn't that what ADHD used to be called?
