    Reminds me of this man, over exactly 100 years ago. To quote:

    On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of tetraethyl lead (TEL), in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problem.
