As far as the TV show, it wasn’t a show I enjoyed. I was always amazed that he hadn’t been seriously injured or killed sooner!

1) Some friends were following other friends to a party, when a tow truck from an overpass careened over the rail, flipped, and landed directly on the leading car, much to the horror of the following car’s passengers.

2) Two buddies were doing some heavy drinking one night, and both were pretty much inebriated. They then drove home, with the passenger leaning his head out of the window. The driver was so drunk that he sideswiped the guide wire of a phone pole. When the driver got home he decided to let his friend just “sleep it off” in the car. When he went to his car the next day, he found the headless body of his friend in the car.

Both of these are true stories.

BTW …. Steve Irwin was beloved by many (but of course there are always a few morons out there who love to create controversy and bash anyone they can because they themselves are miserable people). He was a great person and a humanitarian. May he rest in peace.

Also, “Electrocuted to death” is redundant – it is only possible to be electrocuted to death, because if you don’t die you haven’t been electrocuted!

A man wanted to commit suicide but he couldnt decide how. So he tied a rope around his neck, then to a large rock. Then swallowed a bottle of poison. After that he jumped off a cliff and tried to shoot himself in the head. He missed and shot the rope then fell into the water witch caused him to puke up the poison. He was taken to the nearest hospital where he later died of hypothermia.

Then, long time ago I heard about a condemned prisoner cheating the hangman (literally) by requesting a deck of cards. As I recall, this was around the turn of the century or so and that may factor into the validity of the story. He cut either the “spades” from each card, or cut the colored shapes from the cards, or, even used the whole card by tearing into tiny pieces…Anyway, he managed to jam these pieces of what I think may have been a cellulose product VERY tightly into a metal tube, added some water and sealed it. That evening, knowing he was to be hanged in the morning, placed the device just above his candle and laid his head very closeby. Soon the guards were alerted by a huge explosion and discovered their “charge” had indeed “charged”{ himself right out of the state’s plans.

Love your site, but if you do not know about the series, check out “1000 Ways to Die.” I am having trouble finding mainstream media reports to validate. I live in Tucson & don’t specifically recall Warren, nor can I find anything at azstarnet.com, our internet version of newspaper.

Francis Bacon’s death had a considerable element of irony. He had been inspired by the possibility of using snow to preserve meat. Bacon purchased a chicken to investigate this possibility, but, during the endeavour of stuffing it with snow, contracted a fatal case of pneumonia. He died at Highgate.

Stranger than fiction.

On another note, my bro told me about a story he once heard on the news, when he was stationed in the Navy up in Norfolk, Virginia, about some suicidal teen had jumped off the second story of his bedroom because he couldn’t deal with his parents on-going marriage problems. The weird part was that the teen’s mom supposedly pulled a rifle on the father and fired a round that missed and flew out the window, striking the teen in head before he landed on the ground… WTF! I don’t have any documented sources for this story… so I’m going on the integrity of my bro. But if it’s true… shit that would’ve definitely make the Darwin list!

By the way, chek theese,
A guy commited suicide by tieing a rope round his neck and the oner end to a tree. He hopped into his car and drove off at 70 mph. Guess what happened.

A 5 year old died when she sat on a drain in a swimming pool- her insides were sucked out of her butt.
Dont believe me? List of unusual deaths- wiki.

Enrique Granados was a Spanish composer who lived from 1867 to 1916. It is said that in 1915 he wrote a beautiful piece of music that was based on the war going on around him. This piece became so popular universally that, in 1916, he was asked to attend a performance of it in New York city, which the President would be attending. Granados hated traveling overseas because he had a great fear of water and boats. However, in the end he decided he would go and bring his wife with him. The journey to New York was fine and so was the performance. He was paid in gold and boarded the boat with his wife to go back to Spain. On the return journey, the boat was sunk by German aircraft because they mistook it as an British naval ship. When the boat began to sink Granados was still on board but his wife was drowning in the water beneath him. He dived off to save her but drowned along with her because of the gold in his pockets.

FROM THE “WHAT WAS SHE THINKING DEPARTMENT?”

On November 2, 2005, the Dallas Morning News reported 41-year-old Evangeline Gonzalez had failed 2,953 times to pay fees to enter or leave DFW toll roads over a 20-month period. Had she paid the 40-to-75-cents each time she entered or exited at a toll booth, it would have cost her less than $1,900. But, with added fees, she owed the North Texas Turnpike Authority a whopping $76,039.

SO, NOW YOU KNOW THE REAL STORY

Thanks to http://www.wowzone.com/gradesix.htm, Actual Answers to Sixth Grade History Tests: “Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.”

NOW, HERE’S SOMETHING THAT REALLY SUCKS

METRO.co.uk reported August 19, 2007, a performer at Circus of Horrors, Captain Dan The Devil Dwarf, was taken to hospital, after not following instructions on a super-glue container. That failure to read caused his penis to become glued firmly inside the suction nozzle of his Hoover vacuum cleaner.

There was a bad disaster in the Thames near London when a ship sank downriver from London, I think in the 1850s. Most of the passengers died, but not from drowning: the city’s sewage system carried its effluvia to that area of the river, and the people asphyxiated in the water.

Look i loved steve too. but do you know how pathetic you sound argueing over someones death? He was a human being and your belittleing his accomplishments by doing this. If its too soon Dont read it, if its not then read it its as simple as that. You can always hit the back button or scroll down and ignore it.

Yikes! It would be gross to check out one of those books that had a piece of that penis in it!
