Debatable Science

The headline reads that Fan Dies after 11 Nights without Sleep.  I think the science here is debatable. Supposedly, a Chinese soccer fan died at his home after going 11 nights without sleep as he watched every single European Championship match.   After watching Italy defeat another team that no one cares about, the 26-year-old fan went back to his home, took a shower and never woke up.  Some people believe it was the combined effects of alcohol, tobacco and sleep deprivation but I disagree.  I know that every time I watch soccer I feel like I am dying.  Each second of boredom makes me want to jump off a cliff.  I believe it was comedian Jay Mohr who said that even if you removed goalies from the game the score would still be something like 4-3.  No, it ’twas soccer that killed the beast.  Of that I am sure.  Maybe.
