- mortigon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+90It'd be kinda freaky if his body wasn't there when they dig him up...
- Toon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45I say he's not actually dead. He made the "er" in the title disappear.
- StellarlyAstral, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Like a post realization of one of his most anticipated stunts?
- Phyltre, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23I hear it's quite painful, and often lethal.
- mindsnare, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21Murded eh?
- thehuntedpossum, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22its kinda freaky if he really was "murded". i don't even know what that means...
- luckyink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Oh the irony that this is on a site called Digg...
- cyks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17First to say to leave his body be?
- SwissCamel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15I don't know about any of this poisoning business, but when my great-grandfather nailed him with that punch in the stomach, man that was funny!
- infimprob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11It comes from the Latin for the murdering of a magician by jealous and homicidal compatriots.
- KnytFyre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I concure with you. It's more than 80 years since it happened, there is no one left to bring to justice, let the man lie in peace.
- inarguable, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Give Great-Grandad some props for that blow, though Houdini was asking for it. That is what you get when you walk around telling people "Go ahead, hit me as hard as you can in the stomach". Eventually, someone ain't gonna wait for you to tense those abs up and ask them to crack you one, and are just gonna sucker-punch your ass and implode your appendix.
- VaporBro, on 10/26/2007, -0/+7My great grandfather can beat up your great grandfather. Bitch.
- terranaut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6And even freakier if after they open the casket to find it empty, they turn around to find him standing behind them.
- mrgeekguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Micheal Jackson and David Copperfield are totally going to get into a bidding war for them bones!!
- thehuntedpossum, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7was that supposed to be some sort of bragging, cause your great-grandfather might have made one of the dickest moves in history with that punch.
- Octanum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4But they might be able to catch his murderer from 1926.
:P - x788, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5i heard about this today, somebody told me that it was a heart attack that occured due to an unexpected punch that killed him. however, i'm all for exhuming his body to actually figure out what happened.
edit: apparently beaten to it by inarguable. - Procure, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Whether or not he got murdered, the fact is that he is still dead either way.
- reckless8594, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's coincidence.
It's still pretty funny. - Jergens, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I don't get it. Was he kiled? Or was he manslaughtd?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Talk about "out of the box marketing". Jeesh - people will do anything for a little money.
- floorman56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3With a note " Nothing can hold me"
- noah45, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4So if they find his silver tongue that proves he really was a murderous pirate?
- kw69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Murded. Kild. Poisnd. What's the difference?
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Maybe John Edward can summon up the spirit of Houdini and we can get the story straight.
- brihar73, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3...and added another "g" in "dig" before that.
- whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -0/+2Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!
- rickbauls, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Digg Houdini up!
- rwren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1GOD let this end up on you tube!
- PopcornDave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It'd be even freakier if they open the casket and Janet Leigh or Tony Curtis were in there. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045886/)
- lowfalls, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Everybody knows that Harry Houdini was resurrected on the third day and ascended to Heaven...
- Firemanjoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Let the man rest! I seriously don't believe that he was murdered!
- Majorkerina, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Seems rather anecdotal at this point.
- bnitro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i can see it now "this halloween hes.....baaaaaaack Houdini is back and hes got some new magic tricks to show you...mwahahah.....mwahahah.....mwahahhahaha"
- p51d007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What difference does it make? He's still dead, and, if he "was" murdered, the person(s) who did it are
also dead? What are they going to do? Arrest his decedents? That's like having the decedents of
(insert your favorite cause, person) sue for something that happened 200 years ago. Geez!
Let the poor man rest in peace. - salinemist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparations_for_slavery
- RainKing101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He was actually punched. A punched that caused internal damage which led to his death, that is the true story. He used to do a trick on stage where he invited audience members, the stronger the better, to punch him in the stomach as hard as they could. He took all of them standing and without a flinch. Until a body builder recognized him on the street. Without giving the magician time to prepare the muscular monster walked up to him and delivered (what would be) a fatal punch...
Sometimes the truth isn't so elaborate. - bitORlogic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Until a body builder recognized him on the street ..."
Please cease posting until you learn something about what you wish to talk about. I highly recommend the new biography, "The Secret Life of Houdini".
It is by no means certain that Houdini was murdered, but it's also not so bizarre an idea when you realize how it happened and the context in which it happened. - jobenly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It would be freakier if is casket actually turned out to be a hidden portal into John Malkovich's brain.
And Malkovich has really been the future vessel for a reincarnated Houdini this entire time! - skatterbrainz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You're all wrong. He's living in south Jersey with Elvis.
- pennvneff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes sometimes the truth isn't so elaborate. Also it helps if you actually read the article, because you would have read there was no autopsy performed. So there's no way you or I can know for sure that's what killed him.
- roflroflomg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh yea! my great-grandfather punched him too!!! wtf?
- roflroflomg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I know, but it would be interesting to see what the hell actually happened to him...
- 1qazxsw2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Shouldn't that read , "...his murder...?"
He was apparently murded therefore the person who committed the act of murd would be his murder? - Cornedbeef, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0If Houdini was poisoned the person who killed him died also. I don't see what his great nephew has to gain by exhuming the body.
- roflroflomg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0lmao
- neio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I find it strange that people have this fascination with somebody who's been dead for such a long time, its like the Russian obsession with Lenin all over again.
- lincr3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1hes gonna say "Voila!" then disappear
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1MURDED! My GOD!
