3 years ago I collapsed my lung while jacking off (I know right? still finished.) I then went about 5 days with a partial collapse because I didn't know it had happened, I did have the common pain though when it happened. I only went to the doctor because I had a fever. He then sent me to the hospital for a possible heart condition (pericarditis). Furthermore, it was only after 2-3 hours and 3 tests they realized it was collapsed. Had a chest tube rushed into my chest. Then spent another 11 days in the hospital as it wasn't healing. Furthermore, when I left, it still wasn't healed. I happened to have mono as well so they couldn't do surgery to fix it until I was over that. Spent a month at home with a chest tube (IMAX movies with a chest tube feel incredibly weird), then had surgery, which wasn't too bad but it wasn't fun. Recovered after like 5 days, just in time for my birthday. Also, having chest tubes removed is one of the weirdest feelings. Imagine a snake slithering around in your chest cavity. Also, I missed the entirety of my summer.

TL;DR: Don't masturbate, you'll collapse your lung and lose your summer.

Edit: Also, flying is an interesting topic. I've flown before and it collapsed again when I landed, despite the surgery (small collapse though). So when you fly, be sure to pay attention to your lungs, but extreme pain and shortness of breath are hard to ignore.

You take the brain out...? I've always had an existentialist issue with the destroying of a brain. I don't particularly know how it works but I feel like that the person would still be in there, despite it being dead. The atoms haven't changed, but I guess the cells have died. I dunno...

If we only see gamma ray burts in far away galaxies how do we know they even still occur? The light from those galaxies is millions of billions of years old, which means it was that long ago. Perhaps the types of stars which exploded to form them no longer exist?
