"Every day, we fight a new war against germs... toxins... injury... illness, and catastrophe." "There's a lot of ways to wind up dead." "The fact that we survive at all is a miracle... because every day we live... we face 1,000 ways to die." "♪ ♪" "Okay, 1,000 ways fans, let's play a game." "We'll pretend for a moment" "That you've actually spent some time reading books." "Sooner or later, you would have come across" "The phrase, "mad as a hatter,"" "And you would have said to yourself," ""Self, i wonder where that phrase came from?"" "Excuse me, sir." "I need to have my hat refitted." "Do you do that?" "Aah!" "ANNOUNCER: barnaby was, to put it bluntly," "Out of his freakin' mind." "[LAUGHS]" "ANNOUNCER: this was a time when everyone wore hats" "And hat makers were in big demand." "[TAPPING ON COUNTER]" "But, like barnaby here, many of them went mad." "It was a medical mystery that wasn't solved" "Until decades later." "[LAUGHS]" "Swine!" "Out!" "Out!" "There's a term called "danbury shakes,"" "Which refers to danbury, connecticut," "Which was the mega-Center of hat making" "In the united states and the world." "It was a disease that hatters would get" "Because of their exposure to the mercury" "That was used in felting the hats," "And they would inhale the vapors" "And it would cause mercury poisoning," "And this was applied to the animal pelts." "ANNOUNCER: in barnaby's case, his years of exposure" "To the toxic mercury fumes compromised his nervous system," "Causing brain damage, erratic behavior," "And hallucinations." "Finally, with his brain fried," "His immune system shutting down," "And his major organs damaged beyond repair," "The mad hatter who once was barnaby closed shop forever." "[SCREAMS]" "When someone is exposed to mercury vapors" "Over a long period of time," "You will see a progression of effects" "On the central nervous system" "To those that can be quite significant," "Including full body spasms."

"[LAUGHS]" "ANNOUNCER:" "he lost his mind... swine!" "ANNOUNCER: his customers, and his health." "[LAUGHS]" "Aah!" "ANNOUNCER: and then it made him dead." "[HIGH-PITCHED WHINE]" "Can you hear that?" "Does it get you high?" "Welcome to the drug lab of the future." "And clyde was the drug pusher of the future." "He didn't sell crack or heroin." "He sold digital drugs, audio files called i-Dose." "Thanks." " All right, man." "I-Dosing is also known as binaural beat therapy." "It's a process by which two different frequencies" "Which are similar are played into opposite ears" "Simultaneously, using stereo headphones." "And what your brains does is," "It synthesizes a third frequency." "You'll actually start to enter a different state of mind." "ANNOUNCER: i-Dosers claim the specialized audio files" "Produce different highs..." "Anything from orgasmic to a full-On mind-Blowing lsd trip." "Clyde's customers were a combination of super-Nerds" "And junkies," "And he wanted to keep them hooked." "He got his hands on some experimental" "Military infrasound equipment." "This stuff was lethal." "Low frequency infrasonic weapons" "Typically operate between zero and 20 hertz." "It's tough to dial in these weapons," "So something that's less than lethal at 100 feet" "May be more than lethal at ten." "This type of equipment is certainly not readily available" "To the consumers." "It could, however, be purchased" "Through some digging on the internet." "ANNOUNCER: clyde created a new audio file" "Made up of subsonic frequencies below 20 hertz." "He called it "satan's jackhammer."" "The military had been experimenting" "With audio weapons for crowd control." "The ultra-Low frequencies can produce" "Involuntary pants soiling, loss of balance," "And even heart attacks." "Clyde was looking for the ultimate high," "But he was in way over his head." "At extreme sound pressures," "In addition to damage to the eardrums," "Cellular cavitation will occur," "Which is, in effect, vaporizing the liquid" "Within the cells in almost every organ," "Which will create a catastrophic failure."

"She's trying to get this phony plastic surgeon" "To give her the mother of all booty-Shaking butts." "Why?"

"Guess who's back." "ANNOUNCER:" "she was a songwriter" "And wanted him to hear her new tune, cheek freak." "Little ron was on her like white on rice." "But tina had no time to wag her new butt in victory." "She started feeling iller than ill," "And in 60 seconds went from bad to worse" "To dropping dead right there on the dance floor." "Turns out, the quack accidentally injected" "Some of the caulk directly into her bloodstream." "The lumpy paste formed an embolism" "Which blocked her pulmonary artery," "Causing respiratory failure and heart attack." "Tina wanted to jump on little ron's booty bandwagon," "But her butt came up short." "So she pumped up its volume and wound up butted out."

" Oh, god!" "Carjacking is a crime of violence." "Always, always, some sort of force is involved," "Whether it's a gun, a knife, pulling somebody out of the car." "If the person who owns the car" "Is still in the car when they're getting carjacked," "Then you have kidnapping, robbery, and sometimes murder." "ANNOUNCER: mickey had his eye on his next victim." "She wasn't pregnant, but he still thought he could take her." "An automatic car window" "Closes with a force of 50 psi," "Just enough to crush mickey's windpipe" "And render his vocal chords useless." "If mickey could have screamed, it wouldn't have helped." "Five blocks later, by the time the driver realized" "She had an uninvited passenger," "Mickey's brain was completely drained of blood" "And mickey was road kill." "This is exactly like being put in a sleeper hold." "Instead of the upper arm and a forearm" "Pinching the carotid artery," "It's the window and the doorjamb" "Cutting off the blood flow to the brain," "And you lose consciousness within a matter of seconds" "And death, if it continues in this situation." "ANNOUNCER: mickey was a total waste of life" "Who preyed on the weak." "Get out of the car now!" "ANNOUNCER: the best thing to say about him... he's dead." "There." "Aren't you happy?"

"ANNOUNCER:" "a year earlier," "He scared her mom away," "But megan was stuck with him." "You still look like a tramp!" "ANNOUNCER:" "it wasn't hard to see" "Why megan had a hard time keeping a boyfriend." "I want her home at 2200 hours, you got that?" "Almost all fathers" "Are naturally a little bit overly protective."

"[GUNSHOT]" "A blank forces a column of air" "Under very high pressure out the front of the barrel," "Something in the order of 50,000 psi."
