      Reminds me of that little girl who was eviscerated by a drainage hole or something. She sat down in a shallow pool and it sucked her entrails out of her asshole. Survived seven months or something. Ten? But eventually she succumbed to her condition. She was like 10 years old or so. So sad. It was a horrible read.

        Abigail Taylor. To add to how awful her death was, her accident happened in June 2007, the Virginia Graeme Baker act was introduced in January 2007 and signed into law in December 2007. She died while politicians were discussing it and 5 years after Virginia had died.

        PSA: Check your drain covers for VGB compliance and keep them in good condition, they save lives…even if they stub toes.

      Reminds me of that stand-up bit about drowning in a jacuzzi on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean.
