Way To Die 13: Crushed By Asteriod

Papers released from secret governement archives revealed that in 1980 government scientists were told to calculate the exact chances of a Brit being killed by a falling asteroid.

The study was an attempt to persuade the public that nuclear power was safe, and that there were plenty of other things that were statistically more lethal than a neighbourhood reactor.
After much consideration, the men in white coats calculated that that one member of the public would be killed by an asteroid every 7,000 years.

Way To Die #12: Flipped Car

So, the other day we were going to do our laundry. Since we don;t have central heat or air, go figure we don't have a washing machine! We were up at the coin laundry by our house and saw this accident.

Apparenlty, the BWM in the right corner hit the Altima so hard it flipped it clear on it's roof. UGLY!!!!

Way To Die #11: When Good Bras Go Bad

(This was too funny to not repost)

We all know to steer clear of big sheets of metal and barbed-wire fences during a lightning storm, but I didn’t know to avoid my bra, too!

It seems odd that one of your instincts should be to unhook and let the girls roam free when lightning strikes, but that’s exactly what two women who died in London should have done. According to the New York Times, they were struck and killed by lightning because of their underwire bras.

Way To Die #10: Cactus Crush

A 27 year old male discovered this after his friend suggested they do a little "cactus plugging" by shooting a cactus with a shotgun.

This young man tried his plugging skills on a 25 foot tall Saguaro cactus. After blasting a large hole in the cactus, the cactus fell on him, crushing him to death!

Way To Die #9: Too Much Sex

In 2009, Sergey Tuganov, a 28-year-old Russian died after betting two women that he could have non-stop sex with them both for twelve hours. He dropped dead minutes after winning the $4,300 bet. Medics said he died of heart attack, most likely because of the quantity of stimulating pills (Viagra) he had ingested.

Way To Die #8 (Isadora Duncan): Choked By Scarf

In 1927, Isadora Duncan, dancer, died of a broken neck when one of the long scarves she was known for caught on the wheel of a car in which she was a passenger.

Way To Die #7: Died From Laughing

Chrysippus, a Greek stoic philosopher, is believed to have died of laughter after watching his drunk donkey attempt to eat figs.

Way To Die #6: Flying Turtle

So, here is an odd story we came across regarding how someone once died.

Greek playwright Aeschylus was killed when an eagle or a bearded vulture dropped a tortoise on his bald head after mistaking his noggin for a stone in an attempt to crack open the tortoise's shell.

Way To Die #5: Happy Cinco De Mayo - I Crushed My Jeep

So, this is how I spent my Cinco De Mayo 2009.

Looks fun huh? State farm totaled it...

I walked away just fine - a testament to how great Jeeps are - i just had a sore neck for awhile and some brusises from the seatbelts.

All in all, I want to drive a Jeep again! Hopefully I will!

Way to Die #4: Crushed by tree

My finance's parents neighbor has the worst luck with trees. She had a huge one in the back fall and take out her deck, less than a month later, this one feel and crushed her whole porch!

Way To Die #3: Crushed By Truck

So, I don’t have an actual picture to go along with this, but I have a picture of the truck it was going to happen in!

My fiancé and I were moved in April (yes, this post is a little late) and we moved 1 block from our old house. Needless to say, we didn’t pay for movers; we moved ourselves and had folks with trucks help us out.

So brings us to Way #3 to die, which is: falling out of a moving truck and being subsequently run over by my fiancé.

Here’s how it came up: We packed as much as we could into my fiancée’s dad’s Ford F150 (99 I think). We had the truck hatch down, and my fiancée’s mom and me were sitting with our legs hanging down to keep the stuff from falling out. As we ride up the hill to our new house, my fiancé, who is following us in his 1996 Jeep Cherokee about 2 feet back, my fiancée’s dad hits a small bump. Fiancés’ mom and I shriek, grab each other and lock our feet together. It’s then we hear my fiancée’s Jeep’s engine rev and we looked at him as he smiled. So. If the bump had been bigger, and if we had fallen out of the truck (of course fiancée’s dad wouldn’t see since there was so much stuff in the truck he couldn’t possibly see us fall) we would have instantly been run over by my fiancé. Talk about a nice way to say I love you!

Way To Die #2: Scenic Mountain Drive

So, I learned the other day on our vacation to Tennessee that I really don't care much for riding up mountains. The picture you see if at the very beginning. Towards the end, all I could do was grip the jeep door, so I don’t have a pic of the incredible drop off on the road. I do, have a pic of how freakin high up we were, which according to me was too damn high. We are proud to present to you Way #2 To Die, which is plummeting to your death from Chilhowee Mountain in Benton, TN.

Way To Die #1: Fish Tank Electrocution

Our number 1 way to die was figured out by my fiancé last weekend while we set up our new fish tank. See attached picture.

We had hooked up the filter and pump and he had his entire arm stuck down in the water trying to straighten out gravel and rocks and plants- he was spilling water out on the floor, and then said “What if the electric filter fell in the water – I'd be ***ed!”
