Probably something to post on Assbook.
One has to actually eliminate oneself from the gene pool to qualify for the Darwin Award. His sister merely proves evolution has a large element of chance too.

I just want to point out that you probably can't eat soup made in the water either, guys. For some reason, your insides don't like acid.

In Soviet Yellowstone, soup eats YOU!

Actually, your stomach acid has pH of about 1. Your stomach is almost certainly much more acidic than the Yellowstone pool.
The victim probably didn't just dissolve by acid. There was also the boiling temperature. More likely his body was cooked by the heat of the pool and came apart like an over boiled chicken before acid was able to really attack the remains.

I was more thinking of the throat, which is easily corroded by stomach acid. Shit's gotta make it to your tum tum.

For anyone interested, this document has some great measurements of temperature, pH, etc. of the springs in Yellowstone. Unfortunately, some of the data isn't complete, such as it's filled in as "acid" instead of a numeric value in some places. If nothing else, it will give you an idea of just how many of these things are in this massive park.

anyone else thinking of a diabolical basket ingredient for the TV show CHOPPED ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

To be fair, it's mostly water, anyway. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Don't mistake the horse piss being served in America for the real stuff from Bohemia. I would be glad to survive on a diet of Budweiser. The real deal.
