    Stop breathing!

    Oxygen gives you lung cancer!

    Surely you're more likely to be exposed to harmful levels of UV at altitude. Or maybe that's counter balanced by there being feck all to do on top of a mountain, so there are fewer opportunities for smoking and drinking. It's all very confusing

      I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]
