Meet The Swim Reaper, death taking an extended holiday on the beaches of New Zealand and sharing their vacation snapshots with the world on Instagram. From beach yoga in the morning:

To leisurely glides aboard an inflatable flamingo:

But The Swim Reaper isn’t actually off duty.

“NZ is amaze! Heaps of mean beaches and swimming holes, and a long line of people willing to do dumb stuff. The perfect mix. Ha! Yeah, so I’m just hanging out all summer, waiting to reap some peeps. Swim dumb and I’ll be seeing you soon.”

The Swim Reaper’s endless beach holiday is an ongoing campaign created by the government of New Zealand in effort to promote water safety.

Water Safety New Zealand estimates that about 105 people die from drowning each year in the island nation, with 56 lives already claimed this year. The worst part? These deaths are totally preventable, and most of them tend to befall young males who swim drunk.

So be safe at the beach so that The Swim Reaper can spend more time sipping tropical drinks, playing volleyball, and creating these delightfully morbid getaway photos and videos for us to enjoy.

You're the one who taught me "temporospatial claudication." Thanks. I've been using it for well over a decade to appear smarter than my friends.

(chuckle) Been using it for three decades plus to appear smarter than my enemies.  :) Works just as well. (Extra points if someone whines to you “But the dictionary says it’s some kind of leg disorder…” You then get to lecture them on obstructions to the structure of higher-dimensional space and the Emperor Claudius. But seriously, if people won’t follow a coined word’s history back far enough to find out if there might be some reason there for the coinage, they need to be taught better.)  (See also the etymology of the word at this Biblical site, which for this entry at least stays out of the religious mode.)
