The danger is only there if you try to read it without stopping.  Yes,
I tried, and I made it, barely... ;-)[1]

[1] Great experience, BTW... the first time I thought about `coming up
for air' was cool... I was about to breathe in, when I realized that
`I can't do that!'.  Oops![2]

another topic entirely... ;-)
