This is hilarious. Within the last few weeks Sam Harris was talking about how he would hate to die as side effects of having unnecessary surgery like a nose job, and they kind of laughed about how unlikely that is but still within the realm of possibility. And here we are ~~days~~ 6 years later, and a guy with over a billion dollars couldn't even buy a bigger dick without losing his life.
