Another Indication Something's Wrong With Brit Society
'Choking game' becomes deadly new craze
"More than 80 young men and women have died after taking part in a dangerous "game" that involves temporarily cutting the blood flow to the brain.
Teenagers taking part in the so-called "choking game" - which is similar to erotic asphyxiation - use dog leashes, bungee cords wrapped around their necks to reduce the amount of oxygen to the brain.
Their goal is a dreamlike, floating-in-space feeling when blood rushes back.
American officials estimate as many as 20 per cent of teenagers and preteens play the game, sometimes in groups."

I knew a guy in college who died in this way-- many years ago now.
Sad sad stories.
Jeez, did he?
These stories are popping up with great frquency now indicating... something. Stress? Alienation? Epidemic of malaise? Brit heavy handed nanny-state authoritarianism seems to be driving most of the country out of their minds.
Weed generally works for me, and it seems pretty much risk free. But then again, I'm a dirty fucking hippie.
Might give you munchies but much safer than tying a rope around your neck.
