There's an article on boating that appeared in the LA Times today. The
writer's email is

Stern alert

Dragging behind a boat or even hanging out near exhaust puts boaters
at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning. Some blame engine design and
lack of warning labels, but others point to operator error.

What a joke!


What do you find funny about carbon monoxide poisoning?

At least it's on-topic.


If anything, it's that the article was worded in a way that would have
you believe the fatal CO poisoning happened in less than a minute.
Virtually impossible in this and most situations. And it's fostering
these types of misconceptions that make CO even more dangerous.
