So drinking gasoline is pretty safe

    Ingesting gasoline is deadly in far smaller doses due to something called hydrocarbon pneumonia. My dad very nearly died as a result of having a tiny amount get past his throat while siphoning gas to a small engine's tank.

    If you must siphon gas, go buy a cheap "pump siphon" from Canadian Tire.

    Fuckin right? If you're 300lbs, you could apparently drink almost 4kg of gasoline and have a 50/50 shot of survival? Yeah right
