Though admittedly, he didn't drink very much of it.

This is fake, you can clearly see his bartender switch glasses about 5 minutes in, it's behind the round-up container.

The assholes who claimed leaded gas was safe had a representative swig a full glass of lead ethyl onstage.

(Then quietly checked him into a hospital for immediate chelation)

Less insane than that, he just immersed his hand in it on stage.

3-6 months in germany undergoing chelation afterwards.

that prick was responsible for CFCs, as well.

You mean the one with subtitles saying its a pre-mixed drink, that they put salt and a lemon wedge on? That one that they didn't hide the "switch" at all?

EDIT: I can't imagine a big ol' jar of sand is going to do LA Beast any good either.

I don't know about the "man dips hand in leaded fuel" anecdote, but it is true that Thomas Midgley, Jr. is the man who invented both the leaded additive for gasoline and Freon and other CFC-based refrigerant systems. No other single being in the history of the Earth has had as much of an impact on the environment as him.

The schadenfreude is that after contracting polio and losing much of his mobility, he devised a series of ropes and pulleys to assist him getting out of bed, which he eventually became entangled in and strangled by.

A friend of my dad's had a horse who impaled itself on a fence at his ranch. This taught me two things:

1) Horses are dumb as gently caress
2) There needs to be a bar called "The Impaled Horse" if there isn't one already.

That's what happened in this time continuum. The ones where he made a 3rd chemical didn't live long past it.

If time travel is possible, someone in the future was probably responsible.

In 1940, at the age of 51, Midgley contracted poliomyelitis, which left him severely disabled. This led him to devise an elaborate system of strings and pulleys to help others lift him from bed. This system was the eventual cause of his own death when he was entangled in the ropes of this device and died of strangulation at the age of 55.[15][16][17]

:stare: so he did have a 3rd invention that killed him

Please ignore that the patent on Glyphosate expired in 2000 and it is now manufactured by a whole range of companies. And please ignore the fact that it's big business vs big business not Monsanto vs. the farmer.

I hope he has a dead mans switch under his desk, something where he has to keep his knee in it to keep the power on would work well enough.

quote:

The IOC has balked at helping Rio Olympic organizers pay a debt estimated at $35-40 million.

The executive board of the International Olympic Committee, meeting Sunday in Lausanne, Switzerland, said it had already contributed a “record” $1.53 billion to last year’s Olympics, and questioned giving more after meeting with organizing committee President Carlos Nuzman.

In a statement, the IOC said “more detailed information” was needed and said it “deferred any further consideration at this stage.” It added that it “has closed all its obligations with the organizing committee.”
