Hey, Bunky. Way to call someone a tard when you failed to read the part where innocent bystanders were also being injured or killed by the gas. We’d be lucky if one of your neighbors tried this, eh?

Hi Shane,

I’ve had just eight hits for hydrogen sulfide myself.

I saw on the news at the weekend that the manufacturer of the bath salts has decided to withdraw their product from sale, or was it that the Japan chain drug store association recommended its members to take it off the shelf - I didn’t quite catch the Japanese.

For those leaving the sarcastic comments, use your brain. Not everyone has read the warning label on bottles of bleach and/or ammonia. And, not everyone has taken a high school chemisitry class. If it was such common knowlegde, it wouldn’t have been printed in the first place. The point is that there was no reason to actually print the recipie in the story. Even one person influenced it is too many.

Usually, I like sarcasm. But, the sarcasm exhibited in some of these comments makes it easy to understand why many people think it’s the lowest form of wit.

UPDATE - The article in question is no longer accesable at all.

I received an automated response from the Bloomberg contact from but the link provided to their response led me to a blank page (numerous times).

The article in question was here: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601101&sid=auvA7_lgZe.w

A search of Bloomgerg’s site for Japan Suicide does not even bring up the article in question (corrected or not):

You cannot protect stupid people from themselves.

These are the same people that force companies to put “Do Not Take Your Hairdryer Into the Bathtub” warnings on their product… and sue McDonalds because they’re too clumsy to handle a cup of coffee.

I say.. let evolution work it out.
