    Re: DEAD THREAD 2017: "This guy here is dead!"..."Cross him off, then!"

    Could be. But still, a cubic foot is an assload of space inside a human body, be it 7' or not.

    ETA: I can't remember my calf 4 that well, but I'm curious if the flux through liver can be correlated directly through volume of the liver, heart, etc. Is there an efficiency that is lost with size? Does that much fluid just start to overwhelm your body?

    I have a couple of stupid things I did in life to relate. I once drank a gallon and a third of Mountain Dew in a four-hour period. Let me tell you that eventually the normal fluid disposal path quickly becomes overwhelmed and it starts finding other ways to dispose of all that liquid.

    I also drank 100 cups of coffee in a weekend during a Futurama marathon. I was taking a trip to the bathroom every 10-15 minutes about 20 hours in.

      We did the gallon of milk challenge. $5 to try, one hour time limit, money went to a growing jackpot. About nine people tried and failed. Most made it to where the bottom of the jug begins to taper before horking it all (we called it the death line.)

      Then the ResLife coordinator tried. He got the whole gallon down, held it in for 5 minutes, then lost it. We figured that's as close as anyone was going to get so we gave him the money.

          Andre had a pituitary adenoma. He chose not to treat it. Not sure if the guy from GOT had the same.

          The pituitary tumor causes excess growth hormone to be excreted. If this develops prior to the boney growth plates fuse, people develop gigantism. If it happens afterwards, they develop a syndrome called acromegaly. Too much growth hormone can cause the heart muscle to enlarge and this can lead to an inability to relax (not allowing the heart to adequately fill) and then eventually inhibits the contractility (ability to pump). This leads to heart failure and eventually death.

                When he went in for back surgery once, the anesthesiologist's dosage chart didn't come anywhere close to Andre's height and weight. The anesthesiologist decided to estimate by asking Andre how much it took him to get drunk. Being Andre, the answer was "about two liters of vodka to get me warm and fuzzy." He ended up getting a patently absurd amount of anesthesia and the anesthesiologist received some credit in the medical field for this new method of dosage estimation.

                  I remember that story.

                  Granted, his size had a lot to do with it, but also his tolerance/alcoholism. For Howard Stern fans, Hank The Angry Dwarf regularly had a .30 (or so) BAC.

                              I didn't realize he was 94.
