What I wanna know is whether the radio station gave her kids a Wii in compensation or not.

I think if she did not hold the water in maybe she will not die?

You see! It's Nintendo's fault. If they picked a better name like...Revolution...then they'd have to hold a contest like "start the most revolutions in unimportant third-world countries in the next month". Rofl!

Usually, drinking large amounts of water does not cause overhydration if the pituitary gland, kidneys, liver, and heart are functioning normally. To exceed the body's ability to excrete water, an adult with normal kidney function would have to drink more than 2 gallons of water a day on a regular basis.

hmm none of you guys have ever played water monopoly or water spoons? XP

Yeah it's scary, but ... it's not terribly uncommon to use water drink like that...

And it does have to be extreme to be like that.. XP I think this is more a case of not knowing when your body's had enough. XP

Well, they weren't allowed to urinate. But then, you'd have to hold quite a large amount. That woman must've had quite a high tolerance for pain and the such. I need her genes so I can actually get through Chem class without going to the washroom...lol.

//edit: I almost put masturbate instead of urinate...how strange.

that's the idea with water spoons and monopoly too, instead of going bankrupt to lose, first to go to the bathroom loses, but I guess, the time between glasses of water is greater and if you're a good player, you don't have to.

Always drink water with a designated water drinking buddy!

dunno if its been bought up but didnt some kid die from hazing at a college not to long ago after drinking like a dozen gallons of water? they called it superhydration or something where your blood gets water in it and becomes unable to carry oxygen and you die... i think =\
