WEEK TEN

United States swimmer Fran Crippen died while participating in a 10-kilometer race. The race was held in open water with a temperature of 84 degrees. Did the hot water cause his death, and should it be allowed?

Some of the other atheletes complained about the water's temperature. This obviously means that the hot water played a huge role in the death. I think tests should be done to find how the body reacts to hot water when under intense exertion.

WEEK NINE BLOG

A 300 pound chimpanzee escaped from its chains last Tuesday. The ape attacked a police car, damaging the front windshield and hood. The owner was eventually able to coax it into its cage after a failed tranquilizer attempt.

I think it is crazy to have an animal like this as a pet. These animals are meant for the wild and are not domestic creatures. If you have a pet like this you should be required to have safety precautions that would prevent things like this from happening.
