7 People Who Cheated Death (Then Kicked It In The Balls)

cracked.com — How would you react to being dropped out of a plane without a parachute, or buried alive? After crapping your pants, that is. These folks survived that and more, slapping Death in the face and telling it to go make them a sandwich. Jul 21, 2008 View in Crawl 4

It blatantly ripped off Maddox. Funny nonetheless since that assh**e doesn't update his site anyway.

Yeah, but at least you'll hear them coming. Which would make your blood run cold:1) Some nitwit that's out to get you making so much noise that Helen Keller could hear them coming, or...2) Knowing someone's out to get you and the only clue you have that they've found you is is the TCHK-CLACK from their shotgun chambering a round?

crazycarlmar --That's not how it works. 75 is an average, and it includes those who die at 1 and those who die at 104. If you're already lived to 72, and you're healthy (and I think McCain mostly is), then the odds are you're going to live a while longer.According to <a class="user" href="http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr54/nvsr54_14.pdf">http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr54/nvsr54_14 ...</a> , a 70 year old while lives an additional 13.4 years on average in the US (as of 2003, anyways.) At 75, it's 10.4 years, so statistically speaking, the odds are that he will survive the next 4 (or 8) years.He's an old guy, don't get me wrong, but he's probably not knocking on Death's door quite yet.
