The Sun UK ^ | April 17, 2009

A COMEDIAN died after accidentally overdosing on laughing gas while watching computer porn, an inquest heard. Mark Cassidy, 42, lost consciousness as he inhaled the nitrous oxide from a canister.

He was found dead in bed, surrounded by cans of the gas, after his family became worried they had not seen him for several days and broke into his home in Blackburn.

It's weird how many people die masturbating.

Just...Damn, for some reason I never really thought about that.

Monty Python alert!

I love the fact that there are MP fans here.

There is a silly side to all of this (life, I mean), isn’t there?

“Too much N2O and not enough O2 will do you in.”

The first time my dentist gave me laughing gas he had the Nitrous/Oxygen ratio at 90/10 when it should have been 50/50. It only took them a minute to catch it, but I was already losing the feeling in my extremities. Not that I cared much at the time.

You would rather be found dead while pleasuring yourself to Disney.com?

Or watching Woody Woodpecker. (ba dum pum)

Maybe the "New" Disney version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Nitrous oxide is a simple asphyxiant. It displaces oxygen. Other than that, it's inert.

Really? Worst. Anesthetic. Ever.

As a teenager back in the seventies a friend managed to get a hold of a five foot tall tank of nitrous.
We stashed it in his garage filled a couple of trash bags full of the gas and went thru the connecting door into his house and down to the basement and proceeded to do what teenage boys did at that time play pool and listen to Led Zeppelin .
A little while later when the bags were empty one of the guys “Ernie” volunteered to go up and refill the bags.
When about 10 minutes and he still wasn’t back the boy who lived in the house said If Ernie is wandering around the house I’ll kill him.
So he charged upstairs and we all followed to watch the fun.

when we got to the garage Ernie was lying on the concrete floor in a pool of blood.

Apparently Ernie decided to take the gas straight from the nozzle eventually passing out and hitting his head on the floor splitting the skin on his forehead wide open.

OK now here comes the really good part.

You do know what happens when a a pressurized liquid turns into a gas right ?

At some point after the anesthesia took effect the nozzle got cold enough to freeze to his lip and when he finally fell he left a good portion of his lip behind.

Whip-it good! Talk about devolution. Why can't people who watch computer porn try to die with a little dignity? Geez.
