What drives these people to engage in such disgusting behavior the Captain will never know, but he is pleased to see one man has paid the ultimate price for his revolting acts.
A young man plunged from an apartment balcony to his death after trying to show how far he could spit over the side, police say.
Zackary John Seiler, 22, had been staying with friends at a South Townsville apartment complex ahead of the Townsville 400 V8 race meet this weekend.

"He was quite a tall lad ... so obviously his centre of mass is quite high," she told this website. "It wasn't a spitting competition as such but he's decided to show how far he could spit. As he's done that he's been leaning on the rail and he's leaned too far forward."

Acting Inspector Leonie Henwood said Mr Seiler, who had been on the balcony with a woman, was not mucking around or misbehaving. But she urged people to take care near railings. "It's just hopefully a one-off, a tragic accident; it's very unusual," she said. "It's not like he was doing any high-risk activity."
