    Death By Tailpipe

    I have what some may call a recent urban legend. It may be slightly off topic but it's a good ponder.
    I have heard or read recently that new car emissions are getting so low that the amount of noxious harmful things coming out of your tailpipe are almost 0% The article or story went on to say the emissions are basically mainly water vapor. And no, I do not think they were speaking of hydrogen fueled vehicles. Which I have read truly emit only water out of their tailpipe. But any way, it went on to say that you could basically suck on tailpipe fumes without said emissions being toxic enough to do you in. My question is who out there is stupid enough to test this out?

    My question is who out there is stupid enough to test this out?
    Anyone 'stupid' enough to have the testing gear, I'd think.

    If you didn't die, wouldn't you still have 3rd degree burns on your lips?

    Right up there with the "I wonder if this gun is loaded" pointing to head and pulling the trigger to "test" it.

    Working in an ER, I see first hand every day people who are stupid enough to do things you can't even dream of. And you can still do yourself with the car engine running and the garage door shut.

    Newer fuel injected vehicles are MUCH more efficient, it could still kill you, but it would likely take a lot longer- and you would be sicker first. As for third degree burns from an exhaust pipe... The tailpipe doesn't get that hot; still hot enough to suck a lot, but not enough for third degree burns.

    Please take everything I say with at least one grain of salt- I am a very sarcastic person with a very dry sense of humor.

    There are plenty (and I mean plenty) of people stupid enought to try this. All they need to remember is: Where there's fire there's carbon monoxide.

    I don't know. I'm going to file it with the one about what to do with your gun while you're on the can.
