The chance of you actually dying from it is incredibly slim. Still, it's definitely kinda scary!

Yikes. I'm in the water so much. At least 2-3 hours a day. Glad this is mostly fresh water. Who goes swimming in stagnant water anyway?

Brain-eating amoebas? I'm familiar with them. They sometimes call me for tech support.
"Uh yeah … I … I just bought an amp. What do I do with it?"

"OK, what do you want to do with it?"

"Uh … what do you mean?"

"Is this for a DJ system, or maybe a live sound rig, or an instrument amp, like a bass rig, or something?"

"Uh … yeah I guess so."

"OK, which one, any of those?"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Well, you have loudspeakers you want to use with the amp?"

"Uh … loudspeakers?"

"Yes, speakers. Do you have them already?"

"Um, are those the boxes?"

"Yeah, usually the speakers are in enclosures or boxes."

"Oh."

"Do you have speakers you want to use?"

"Uh … I don't think there are any boxes but I'm not sure."
… and so on. By the time we end the call I can feel that some brain cells are gone.

Freaky: yes
Sensationalism: **** YES

3 deaths out of 300,000,000 people.

Worrying about getting hit by lighting on the day you win the lottery would be a better use of your time.
