Loud Music Can Cause Lung Collapse
ahrenritter writes "This Reuters article discusses a report in the medical journal Thorax describing the cases of three young men who suffered a lung collapse (pneumothorax) apparently triggered by standing too close to very loud concert speakers. A fourth case occurred in a car that was outfitted with a 1,000 watt bass box. I guess deafness isn't all we have to worry about now!"
How about: This music is breath taking?
a report in the medical journal Thorax
I wouldn't trust anything in a medical journal made by Dr. Seuss.
Guy #1: Hey, I'm having a hard time breathing!
Guy #2: What!?!
Guy #1: Hey, I'm having a hard time breathing!
Act 2, Scene 5

How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath
To say to me that thou art out of breath?
The excuse that thou dost make in this delay
Is longer than the tale thou dost excuse.
Is thy news good, or bad? answer to that;
Say either, and I'll stay the circumstance:
Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad?
Your CPU is not doing anything else, at least do something.
What about beating off?
"But so-called primary spontaneous pneumothorax happens in the absence of an underlying disease, typically striking tall, thin, male smokers." So with enough bass, you could wipe out half the kids at any emo concert.
Pure and Simple.
Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.
If it's so loud that you have to wear earplugs when you're at a concert.. Doesn't that say something?
Ya--you're too damned old!
We now have confirmed reports from an informed Orange County minister that Ethel is still an active communist.
. . . the punk boys with their $5,000 stereos in $800 cars will start dying from this in droves soon.
One CPU cycle wasted on digital restrictions management is ONE TOO MANY.
When people like you get old, they wear hearing aids.
Have fun.
