True and Sad Stories from the Toilet

Yes, they are sad stories happening in the pensieve room.Believe me.
Once upon a moon ago, I read a news about man suffering from nasty burn because he smoked when doing his business.
Apparently this man didn't know that his bowel has methane (a combustible gas). All he know that it is flatulence. So people, take note, your fart contains methane. And when you pass stool, you'll also do microfart(s).
So obviously : the fuel (methane) + heat (the cigarette) = flame
flame in small cubicle + your body ----> burn
I guess the man learnt his lesson. He should by now. And you should learn the lesson from him too.

Second sad story is unfortunately, most of the time, unavoidable.
Some people have DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and is unaware of it, because most of the time, DVT are asymptomatic.
But when you do Valsava maneuvre (layman's term is straining to evacute your bowel), the silent DVT decides to be noisy and change its name. It dislocates due to the pressure and travels up into the heart and out of the heart into vessels going to the lung. It is most unfortunate when the embolus get trapped in the early portion of the vessel going to the lung (which diameter is large), which almost always mean sudden death.
Remember how death can greet you anytime? Well, this is one of the wayS death can choose to fetch maybe you, and maybe me. (T_T)
