"Stayin Alive" Helps You Stay Alive
In a small study conducted at the University of Illinois medical school, doctors and students maintained close to the ideal number of chest compressions doing CPR while listening to the Bee Gees hit, "Stayin' Alive." At 103 beats per minute, the old disco song has almost the perfect rhythm to help keep accurate time while doing chest compressions. The study showed the song helped people who already know how to do CPR, and the results were promising enough to warrant larger, more definitive studies with real patients or untrained people. I wonder what intrinsic power is contained in "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?"
I need to get out more, when I read "Staying Alive", I thought they were referring to Still Alive.Which, when you think about it, would help you stay alive in the scenario that you wake up in an Aperture Science Lab.
...you get your CPR, you can sing "Still Alive" from Portal.
Except the ones who are dead.
The patient wakes up hearing someone on top of them singing disco. They'll probably think they woke up in hell, have a stroke and die.
God spoke to me.
See? This is the kind of community spirit that idle encourages. Slashdotters who can't be bothered to kill a fellow Slashdotter as an act of charity. Truly, idle is pants.
Requiem for the American Dream
Maybe this can help keep BSD alive
But there's no sense crying over every mistake, you just keep on trying...
