remember the radio show where they had a water drinking contest?
a nurse called in and urged them to stop, and the DJs laughed it off.
the contest winner died the next day.

It's fucking tragic. The family got a $16,500,000 payout from the station, but I'm sure they'd much rather just have their mum back.

"Those people that are drinking all that water can get sick and possibly die from water intoxication," Brooks said, to which disc jockeys replied they "were aware of that" and that contestants had signed a release "so we're not responsible."

The organisers openly said that they knew it could kill the contestants but they don't care because they signed wavers so it's their fault if they die!

11 days without sleep? from what I understand the (very) rare autosomal dominant disease Fatal Familal Insomnia eventually causes a complete inability to trigger sleep, resulting in ~3-4 months of total insomnia and a slow debilitating descent into dementia and hallucinations before an untimely death.

13 shots of alcohol? Shit, I've been close.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Consecutively and also without puking it back up.

Probably a little less close then.
