Internet How-to

Saw this and had to ask: Is this an instance of gadget giddiness? You know, one of those moments of bells and whistles added to a story just because we have them to add.

This "info" graphic ran after a Sun Sentinel, 3B story about a Pompano Beach man who pretended to be dead after being shot. I'd link the story, but it's been killed from the Web site. (Pun intended.)

The graphic, however was not.

It was an online only and answered a burning question: Just how does one convincingly play dead? Apparently, by holding your breath, mussing your hair and positioning your limbs in unnatural positions.

Anyway, I don’t want to ruin it. See for your self.
