Bodily Fluids attract sharks"
Wow thanks. Now i'll live to a hundred - twrife, on 11/08/2007, -4/+12Instead of doing all of these things, I'll just go out* and enjoy life**.
*sit on computer and browse dig
**or lack there of - Bwackv, on 11/08/2007, -4/+951. Don't digg obvious self-help articles that were put together by an uninformed journalist who was forced to write the article begrudgingly so they could get the magazine out to a printer.
- haooken, on 11/07/2007, -3/+7Two words: Cow Bell.
- RSS14, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4"19. Dive with a Partner
This cuts the chance of a shark attack by 50 percent, say Australian scientists."
Yes it does, because now the shark needs to decide between either you or your partner.
- platypibri, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4Oh, Ounces aren't "grown up"? That has to be the most pathetic quality anyone has ever taken an elitist quality about.
- buddyw, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3This article should be titled, "50 Reasons Correlation Doesn't Mean Causation."
- TheMagoozer, on 11/07/2007, -1/+4Dugg for the fact that every element of this top list cites a scientific source. This is refreshing. A lot of top lists here spew out random elements without any citations.
- xdeliriumx, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3Thats so you "don't FEAR the reaper"... not beat him.
- funkju, on 11/08/2007, -1/+4The black robe and sickle will really hurt his split time.
- giveer, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Hey wow. Thanks for the link to the WHO. That's, that's umm.. really helpful.
Living in a smoke-filled environment, loading up the sugar, not getting exercise and avoiding vitamins -not to mention the other 46 things- is LESS risky than eating meat? - Sorry, I declare you incorrect. I'm sorry we eat animals, but it's an ethical issue, not a moral one.
If the world's actions are piling up guilt, you need to stop living in, and thereby supporting, Western Culture - because THAT'S the actual problem. - arrogantprick, on 11/07/2007, -2/+4You know it's a crappy article when you're discussing surviving a shark attack in the top 20.
- fallenone05, on 11/08/2007, -1/+3I don't have a life, so I don't have to worry about these tips..
- atomic811, on 11/08/2007, -1/+3dugg for running reaper
- inactive, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2how did i know fried chicken with fried rice wouldn't be on the list
- inactive, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2"Instead of doing all of these things, I'll just go out* and enjoy life**." For the 6 more weeks it lasts...
I actually agree with you, though. I'd rather do things because I enjoy them than stop and consider how everything MIGHT affect me.
Better to live 30 years having fun than 100 years in fear of death. - giveer, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2I live in metric and love it as well, but an Ounce *is* a grown-up term --- and it usually costs around 6 bucks after taxes.
- MikeFallopian, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Buried for telling me to "light a jasmine-scented candle". I'll stick with the scent of a fat Ribeye sizzling on the grill.
- theOster, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2"40 percent less likely to die of any cause" - if i take magnesium, i'm invincible! now i wonder if they have adamantium tablets...
- 89992, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2The key is variety really. Once you have the proper amount of variety, there is little need to worry about getting proper nutrition. However, it is very true that, simply becuse something is vegetarian, doesn't necessarily mean it's healthy or nutritious.
"human body NEEDS the nutrients provided by eating meat"
True, however the nutrients you speak of can easily be found in plant based foods as well. Except for the saturated fat and cholesterol of course. - danno147, on 11/08/2007, -0/+249. drink 4 cups of coffee a day
OMFG are they serious? - exomni, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Get over yourself, cockface.
- Bleue, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2What a weird article... Prevent heart attack for a while, then how to survive a bee sting (!!!), back to heart attack, then shark attack, heart attack again, then how not to drown, back to heart attack...
Very very strange list. Randomly put together looks like... - rjprux, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Don't touch death and you'll be fine.
Quagmire's wife did not know this. - hshadow914, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1or you can come to the realization that everyone will die...
- lbeaty1981, on 11/08/2007, -1/+230. Dodge a Deadly Lightning Bolt
Stay off the toilet during severe thunderstorms. If lightning hits within even 60 feet of your house, it can not only jump through phone and electrical lines but also run through plumbing, according to the National Weather Service.
Wow, what a way to die... - mark_in_bc, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1I don't swim in the ocean but I do adhere to most of the suggestions that are applicable to me. I'm happy and healthy enough. You don't have to memorize the list just use your common sense. Most of us know what is good or bad for us so do as many of the good ones as you can and cut back on the bad ones. Just remember to live it up a little or a long life is not worth living.
- Instrumentalist, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1You could do all that and still get hit by a car tomorrow. Why not just live instead of worrying about the best way to?
- Hardspoken, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1You can't beat the Reaper. No one can. All you can is delay you're confrontation with him. Small nuance.
- inactive, on 11/07/2007, -1/+2Or how about I just use my common sense instead of wasting 5 minutes reading this article?
- giveer, on 11/08/2007, -2/+3Than all 50 Combined? You're one of those activist vegan people aren't ya?
Stop reading PETA pamphlets and just Shhhhhhhhhh..... - Lonewolfsanscub, on 11/08/2007, -2/+3The article didn't tell me how to beat the reaper. I know how to prolong his impending arrival. Great, super.
- mahdaeng, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1The point is to remain as healthy as possible as you age so you can reach 90 and still not be a burden.
- mahdaeng, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1The article was written for a primarily American audience. Read a European magazine if you don't like ounces.
- numberneal, on 11/07/2007, -0/+151. bathe in ice water; you will never catch a cold again.
- jakash, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1true points but if you followed all these tips strictly you wouldnt be able to make any of your own descisions about your lifestyle... then your life would just be crap. stop wasting your life trying to extend it... just live for the moment - that is, right now.
- mahdaeng, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Strangely enough, I've also heard that bathing in cold water will help prevent wrinkles (or postpone them, at least). I haven't been crazy enough to try it, though.
- mahdaeng, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Actually, it was the worst piece of advice in the article.
- drafhk, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Not if Hot Fuzz is any indication.
- inactive, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Ha! take that reaper!

- diggslp, on 11/07/2007, -0/+0crap - i had fruit loops for breakfast today. better flush those down the toilet later tonight...
- 89992, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1This dosen't come from PETA pamphlets. It comes from the World Health Organization, which is a division of the United Nations. In case you haven't heard of it. Here is some info if you care to look.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Health_Organiza ... - DanielNoS, on 11/07/2007, -1/+1Hmm that article didn't really say how to beat him, just how to prolong him from coming after you for a while. I'm going to share my anti-Reaper attack strategy for those who are interested in fighting off this bastard. You can't kill him but here are some tips to force him to retreat.
First equip yourself with a fast weapon to counter his scythe. The scythe is a fearsome weapon but it is rather slow. If you are able to dodge/parry his attacks you should be able to get in at least 3 strikes before he can get back into position. I like to walk around with a rapier at all times (even if it is hard to explain to the wife, cops, etc.) to make sure that when he comes, and he will, that I'll be prepared.
Once the fight for your life starts you need to aim for the eye sockets (the only place where he is vulnerable physically). He can't stand anything touching his eyes (or where eyes used to be) and he'll run screaming in fear. If that doesn't work and you have a torch/molotov cocktail/scented candle you can try to to set his cloak on fire. He is very shy so if his clothes burn away he flees back to the Underworld to get another one. Thankfully the trip takes around 20 years so you'll already dead from natural causes by the time he comes back.
Good luck with your battle!
Oh,and that article was crap.. - WolverineBlue, on 11/07/2007, -1/+1More of it.
- Mockylock, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1YES. Add years on to the part of your life that involves ***** your pants and not remembering who you are! Why die at 90 when you can prolong your misery!?
- badmojo1961, on 11/07/2007, -0/+0No one has ever "beat the reaper". Live the way which makes you happy. ***** corporate sponsored "medical studies" cited to sell you their products.
