Had to look that up. Awful way to go.

At least it wasn't live on TV like Britain's Tommy Cooper. People also thought that was an unscripted bit. Until they realised that it very much wasn't.

Faking heart attacks, at least not to that degree, wasn't even one of his bits, unlike Foxx.

Being messed around by the production crew to the point of annoyance definitely won't have helped in Foxx's case. It's probably what pushed him over the edge. It might not be live on TV but it's still no way to go.

Regarding Cooper: Don't go looking for the video of his collapse if you don't want to feel sad. Go looking for other videos. Very funny man.

OK (or better, KO) could be an "average" formula for a 50/50 mix of K2O and KO2.

It wouldn't be the first time such a formula was used.

That said, I don't know enough to be sure that such a mix could exist. I'd guess not, and any attempt would maybe release a lot of oxygen if not explode.

Getting it wet definitely wouldn't be a good idea though.

A guy with no arms but the arms are long. Now that's a concept.

"So you're saying you have no arms."

"That's correct."

"But that they're both six feet long."

"No."

"Oh. Phew. I was confused for a second there."

"I have no arms that are eight feet long."

"What? But surely you could easily say you have no arms that are fifty feet long as well or any length. I sure have no arms that are fifty feet long, even though I have two arms of perfectly normal length. You just have no arms."

"Well, that's just it. The arms I don't have are exactly eight feet long."

"Oh, so they're missing, is that what you're saying?"

"No. Never had arms. It's just that the ones I've never had are exactly eight feet in length."

etc.
