If you love stinging and irony enough, it all adds up. Plus it’s a pretty funny way to die, so you’ve got that going for you.

    We might take Bentham a lot more seriously if he didn’t spend a substantial part of his life trying to make prison management more efficient: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon

    He also "referred to his walking stick as 'Dapple, and his cat as ‘The Reverend Sir John Langbourne.’

    Not to get pedantic, but more humorous utilitarianism examples would have been Mill or Hare.

    Someone should make a reverse version of this story where the frog eats the scorpion midway across.

    Scorpions can survive underwater for very long. It will find its way to the shore soon enough.
