Welcome to Pick's book of death fun hunt.

So basically, I bought a book!



It's a big book though, it has a lot of pages and the text isn't very big.


(I don't know why my hand suddenly looks huger, this book is massive.)

There are many topics. Sort of the whole kit and caboodle.

The contents are fairly unnerving, so if you're not comfortable with this sort of topic, I wouldn't read any further.

This is sort of the "authoritative" book, apparently, and commonly used as a reference. The author's grandkid is also a medical examiner and you can find a documentary about his work on Youtube which is also plenty depressing.

Here's a section on mass death events:





Wow, these are really rough on people. I'd never have thought--



--it even fucks up the dogs.

There are pictures in this book, but I'm not sharing them. I don't think it's appropriate.





These photos are oof.

So where does the fun hunt come in?

The fun hunt is you!

YOU:

- Give me a page number
- Give me a number between 1 and 60

And I will give you the #th sentence on the page you specified!

If you can then guess the topic of that chapter correctly, you get a prize. The price is not gory or gruesome! The prize instead is something nice :)

Happy guesswork!

Oh, just to clarify, you get to guess after I give you the sentence. That way it's more fair!

Your sentence is PAGE 33, SENTENCE 3:

"For example, a golf club may be swung at a velocity of over seventy-five feet per second."

My first thought is heart failure. It's obviously cardiovascular related, but maybe it's for stabbings/pierced blood vessels?
