    I just repeated word for word , what was said in this highly acclaimed PBS documentary. Take it up with them. Not me. I don't believe they meant it to include ancient history. They said it was bigger than any sky scraper

    Without acknowledging source?

    That's otherwise known as plagiarism.

    This must make the cut

    The fastest surgeon ever ended up causing a 300% mortality rate—shocking, right?! Surgeon Robert Liston was considered “the fastest knife in the West”. He was a pioneer in speed-surgery. When performing a battlefield amputation in front of a group of spectators, Liston cut through his patient’s leg so quickly that he accidentally cut the fingers off the person who was helping him. One man who witnessed the surgery collapsed and died of a heart attack. Then Liston’s patient and his assistant died of blood poisoning from their joint-amputation, making him the only surgeon in history to have a 300% mortality rate.

    Did you know ... Energy drinks are never in bottles because they are the color of piss.

    Here Is Why All Energy Drinks Look Like Piss - Rare

    There’s a reason energy drinks are always in cans, and not bottles. They are the color of pee. From Red Bull to Monster to Rockstar, the original flavors of most classic energy drinks don’t look very appetizing.

    I did not know that. I find the numbers hard to believe. Maybe bears just don't actually attack ppl very often? I have seen bears with my own eyes fairly often. A woman was killed by a bear a few years ago at this oilfield site I worked at. I see bears when I camp. My brother lives near a mountain. I seen bears there last summer. I assumed 80 people a year were attacked by bears. Not 80 in the US over the last 90 years (Google)

    Looks like my theory was right. I am not going to be that scared of bears anymore.



    Bear attacks are some of the most dramatic examples of conflict between people and wildlife. However, bear attack statistics reveal that such incidents are rare because bears go to lengths to avoid contact with humans.

    Let’s look at some crucial statistics on bear attacks and more.

    Top Bear Attack Statistics: Editor’s Pick
    There were 183 bear attacks in North America between 2000–2015.
    There are 40 bear attacks around the world every year.
    The odds of being attacked by a bear are one in 2.1 million.
    On average, 24 deaths were caused by grizzly bears between 2000–2015.
    There were six fatal bear attacks in Alaska from 2008–2018.
    There were 22 human-bear incidents in the US Yosemite National Park in 2019.

    Here was that incident

    Bear kills oilsands worker in northern Alberta | The Star

    FORT MCMURRAY, ALTA.- A union official says a woman killed by a bear at one of Canada's major oilsands sites was with several workers who tried to scare the animal away.


    The 36-year-old Suncor employee was an instrument technician, who was doing electrical work at a job site near Fort McMurray, Alta., when the bear attacked her Wednesday.


    “It was . . . seven people that were working in a group area and she was attacked by this bear out of that group and dragged off,” Scott Doherty, a spokesman for Unifor, said Thursday.


    “People tried to stop it and do everything they could. Obviously they are fairly horrified at what they saw and witnessed.”


    Doherty said the union does not believe the workers were carrying bear spray. He said they remained in the area until police and wildlife officers arrived.


    Another union official said the woman's co-workers blasted air horns to scare the bear away, but to no effect.

    They are frequently sold in bottles in Thailand, which is where many of these drinks originate from.

    The original writer of those comments on 'classic' energy drinks probably doesn't know that.

    The bottle is tinted though. I never gave it much thought till i had a Rockstar drink for the first time today. It really looks like piss. Less so than Red Bull

    What a sad case . . . it's either "never sold in bottles" or they are sold in bottles.
