"Drowning pools"? Jesus H. -- oh, forget it. Why don't we just nail peoples' doors shut? Then they can't leave the house and possibly get hurt and sue somebody.
(Via this guy marc, okay. Curses, foiled again...)
Y'know, you can just call me 'marc'. It's not that tough.
Posted by: marc at July 1, 2003 at 11:05 PMAs long as it's okay with you. (I once referred to Dave at ***Dave Does the Blog by his full name and he wrote back that he wasn't used to seeing his real name (or full name, or something -- it was long, long ago... used instead of "***Dave" or whatever. So now I am nervous about using peoples' names. Unless I am not.)

Posted by: marc at July 1, 2003 at 11:12 PMNo last names ever! They couldn't torture it out of me.

Dammit.

Posted by: David Strain at July 1, 2003 at 11:49 PMActually, I like those pools. Not the PUBLIC ones, but the ones that hotels are building now. I want to get in the pool and RELAX. Of course, for those who want to get in the pool and exercise, it sucks. But that's not MY problem. :)
Posted by: Gary Utter at July 2, 2003 at 01:27 AMI suspect most of the nimrods quoted in this article don't realize that very young children can drown in just a few inches of water. No, don't tell them. We need to weed out the stupid ones.
