  • chrissku, on 12/27/2008, -1/+2051514: György Dózsa, székely man-at-arms and peasants' revolt leader in Hungary, was condemned to sit on a red-hot iron throne with a red-hot iron crown on his head and a red-hot sceptre in his hand (mocking at his ambition to be king), by Hungarian oppressors in Transsylvania. While Dózsa was still alive, he was set upon and his partially roasted body was eaten by six of his fellow rebels, who had been starved for a week beforehand.[18]




    The creativity in this one blew me the ***** away.

  • ggypsy, on 12/26/2008, -3/+125I know that I risk my life every time I get my donkey drunk and laugh at him, but it's just too funny to pass up.
  • inactive, on 12/27/2008, -0/+103 * 456 BC: Aeschylus, a Greek playwright, was killed when an eagle dropped a live tortoise on him, mistaking his bald head for a stone. The tortoise survived.

  • wiwz, on 12/27/2008, -0/+101For the next 30 minutes of my life, I'm going to be careful.
  • BLyn, on 12/27/2008, -0/+83Wikipedia always does a great job of pulling relevant articles:

    "See also
    -Toilet-related injury"
  • gcnaddict, on 12/27/2008, -0/+70"This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completeness."

    I don't know why, but that line alone made me crack up.

    Spock - what are the odds of this happening? /Kirk
  • kingjoey52a, on 12/27/2008, -1/+671959: In the Dyatlov Pass incident, Nine ski hikers in the Ural Mountains abandoned their camp in the middle of the night in apparent terror, some clad only in their underwear despite sub-zero weather. Six of the hikers died of hypothermia and three by unexplained fatal injuries. Though the corpses showed no signs of struggle, one victim had a fatal skull fracture, two had major chest fractures (comparable in force to a car accident), and one was missing her tongue. The victims' clothing also contained high levels of radiation. Soviet investigators determined only that "a compelling unknown force" had caused the deaths, barring entry to the area for years thereafter.

    Now that's weird.
  • schadenfreude87, on 12/27/2008, -9/+71"32: Jesus Christ - Was killed by being nailed to a wooden cross and tortured. He later became a zombie, eating people's brains for the next 2000 years."

  • thegrantman, on 12/27/2008, -0/+55# 270 BC: Philitas of Cos, Greek intellectual, is said by Athenaeus of Naucratis to have studied false arguments and erroneous word-usage so intensely that he wasted away and starved to death.[3] Alan Cameron speculates that Philitas died from a wasting disease which his contemporaries joked was caused by his pedantry.[4]

    Sounds like a few diggers I know.

  • Reasonableguy, on 12/27/2008, -0/+53Actually, I'm fairly certain that the internet has caused more messed up ***** to be created. Case in point, this list.

  • AlterEgoAtrophy, on 12/27/2008, -0/+30Dugg for the 2003 death @ Island county fair. I was there and that was the craziest day at a fair in all my life. I was in line to ride it and it was the ring of fire. Never going on one again.
  • lxZanderxl, on 12/27/2008, -0/+301219: According to legend, Inalchuk, the Muslim governor of the Central Asian town of Otrar, was captured and killed by the invading Mongols, who poured molten silver in his eyes, ears, and throat.

  • SGrace575, on 12/27/2008, -0/+24 Chrysippus, a Greek stoic philosopher, is believed to have died of laughter after watching his drunk donkey attempt to eat figs.

  • OrangeSoda31, on 12/27/2008, -1/+19Cracked did a series on "mysteries" with easy explanations, and it included that included that story. In short, the radiation was added to the story later (it was not in the original report) and animals would have eaten the tongue.
  • Rotzooi, on 12/27/2008, -2/+20...and then gcnaddict chocked on his own tongue and died.
  • cuoops, on 12/27/2008, -1/+17Forgot about this one - 1981: Jeff Dailey, a 19-year-old gamer, became the first known person to die while playing video games. After achieving a score of 16,660 in the arcade game Berzerk, he succumbed to a massive heart attack. A year later, an 18-year-old gamer died after achieving high scores in the same game.
  • bot001220, on 12/27/2008, -0/+16Case in point: Even though "moot" is 4chan's founder, if /b/tards ever get the opportunity, they would run a rape train on and murder him, and not necessarily in that order.
  • bg2500, on 12/27/2008, -0/+15Play Civilization. ;)
  • blitz718, on 12/27/2008, -6/+20***** you, two of my friends died watching their drunk donkey
  • geoboy, on 12/27/2008, -0/+13The word tortoise is like the word porpoise except it has T's for P's. I have not realized this until now. I thought I should share and let everybody know.
  • atgmac, on 12/27/2008, -0/+12You're doing it wrong.
