    I came across this and just thought i should share, here's just a random example "Sigurd the Mighty of Orkney strapped the head of a defeated foe to his leg, the tooth of which grazed against him as he rode his horse, causing the infection which killed him." - LOL

    Read this and tell me that Darwin was wrong... I dare you.

    Garry Hoy, a Toronto lawyer, fell to his death after he threw himself through the glass wall on the 24th floor of the Toronto-Dominion Centre in order to prove the glass was "unbreakable."
    I do giggle a bit at that.

    There are some good ones there, too. I have a couple of books with them in it, haha.
    Schadenfreude, friends. That's why we're amused.

    That and irony. Ooooooh, ironic deaths. <3

    LMAO some of these are hilarious. I know I'm a bad person for laughing at this shit but look...
    Deborah Gail Stone, 18, an employee at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, was crushed to death between a moving wall and a stationary wall inside of the revolving America Sings attraction.

    That's fucking entertainment at it's finest!!

    Getting your tongue eaten out of your face by getting it too close to an ATM Machine...

    That has to be my favourite, without a doubt. Although I did like the one about the guy who "died while fighting an urban battle in Argos". This reference might be lost on those outside of the UK, but heh. Made me laugh.

    Final Destination sequel 1-3 has loads of weird and gore ways to die, not something you'd see in your daily lives. Head getting stuck in a lift while its going up and then breaking off..

    I managed to find that accidentally on youtube a while back. I'm relatively afraid of elevators as it is... I loathe those kind of movies...

    Anyway; I hope I die a peaceful death when the time comes. Preferably of natural causes at the ripe old age of 104-108 without cancer, breathing difficulty, high cholesterol or arthritis.

    A Siamese twin died after 30 years of trying to get separated.

    After 30 years of searching, they got separated, that night one of the two died in bed, seeing this the other lied around him and slept in sorrow

    He died cradling his brother in his sleep.

    people say this is the first case of somone dying of a broken heart.

    They spent there whole lives trying to be free/ separated, then when they are they realize they cant live without each other.

    Haha Urban battle in Argos xP

    I liked this one:

    1932: Peg Entwistle, actress, leapt to her death from the “H” of the Hollywood Sign, following her perceived rejection from the industry for which the sign stood. The day after her death, a letter arrived from the Beverly Hills Playhouse, in which she was offered the lead role in a play about a woman driven to suicide.

    Oh fate has a sick sense of humour.

    Hehe. It's nothing particularly interesting, but Argos is a big, well-known store here in the UK that sell cheap.. well, just cheap everything. It gets rammed full of shoppers at Christmas and people all end up pushing and shoving so they can buy that must have Barbie Doll or whatever. It made me giggle thinking of someone dying in "an urban battle" in an Argos.

    I know, I know.. I should get out more :nope:
