  3. Brittnay Murphay…Corey Haim…who’s next? Who else is gonna die from pneumonia? Ask yourself this, “are there Scientology hit-men?”

  4. I’ve had pneumonia. It isn’t fun. Drugs has little to do with it. It’s just bacterial (usually). It starts out like just a really bad cold, and can fool you into thinking nothing is seriously wrong until it’s too late.

  5. @4: Very true. I got it a couple times growing up, the worst was when I was in my freshman year of high school. When my parents finally came to their senses and drug me to the hospital (all the while hearing me say, “I don’t know wha…*cough, cough*.. what all the fuss is ab-*cough, cough, cough wheeze* I’m fine!”), my entire left lung was full, and my right wasn’t far off.
