But I can't resist.  This article is about a quadraplegic who "swam" the English channel:

- He "swam" across?  I would have thought he'd bobbed across.

- Why didn't he just use "specially designed prostheses" with a motor attached?

- Those dolphins were saying "WTF?" and "They're never going to believe this back at the pod."

- His book should have been called "I decided to live by doing shit that could easily kill me.  Anyone want to part what's left of my pubic hair with a harpoon?  Please kill me."

- Let's just hope that the exceptionally idiotic thing he did to himself that caused him to lose his limbs also fried all his sperm.
