- therealrico, on 10/22/2007, -1/+211So basically if this guy is on your bus, plane, train or automobile, get the hell out!!! Probably be safer on the next one.
- usermike2098, on 10/24/2007, -0/+202They didn't have a better photo of him?
- freefoodisgood, on 10/18/2007, -0/+195so Unbreakable WAS based on a true story
- bullsfan03, on 10/22/2007, -1/+162"refused to fly to Sydney for the filming. Reason: He said he didn’t want to test his luck." Good Call
- fatloui, on 10/21/2007, -0/+105they forgot to mention he won the lottery with 4 8 15 16 23 42 just before.
- penguinxp, on 10/21/2007, -5/+68what a kickass story. dugg for kickassedness.
- 11Heather, on 10/19/2007, -6/+69Brilliant story - thanks Dave!
- TheCosmicFool, on 10/22/2007, -0/+62They weren't that lucky, I guess...
- howitzeral, on 10/22/2007, -3/+60As soon as I read the "won the lottery" part, I called BS. I've read "bathroom reader"-type books before and found them to be full of urban legends and such that have been debunked on Snopes and The Straight Dope. Perhaps this story is true, but without further corroboration, I'd take it with a grain of salt.
- stutimandal, on 10/22/2007, -1/+56Sucked out of the aircraft and landed on a haystack! Almost like a Zero Probability event. I am not sure if he is (un)lucky, but he is an atypical case for sure.
- FriesandCoke, on 10/22/2007, -0/+47They did but the car carrying it flipped into a ditch and caught fire.
- ohohgrl, on 10/22/2007, -3/+43If I rub his belly will I get good luck?
- r1y23, on 10/22/2007, -2/+39Sounds like final destination....but with an overweight old dude....not hot chicks
- Zipko, on 10/18/2007, -1/+35wait... the guy hits the lotto and wants to buy a speedboat?! After all he's been through I think he might want to stop tempting fate
- chicaneuk, on 10/22/2007, -2/+35tehpwnerofn00bs?! More like master of the freakin obvious!! :)
- Ledwolf555, on 10/18/2007, -2/+34Unlucky - Married 4 times
Lucky - not marrried now...
Lucky - Has a girlfriend
Unlucky - Planning on marrieng her..... - tehpwnerofn00bs, on 10/22/2007, -17/+48Could he both lucky and unlucky? Unlucky in that he gets into bad situations, but lucky that he never gets hurt...
- dictum, on 10/18/2007, -0/+28Wow, I would have never thought of posing that question.
- scallon, on 10/22/2007, -0/+25not final destination, more like Unbreakable
- o0joshua0o, on 10/18/2007, -2/+27I think Death himself keeps trying to take this guy, but Fate keeps preventing it, for some reason.
- inactive, on 10/19/2007, -0/+24By my count, he's still got 2 lives left. Should have done the Dorito's commercial.
- feverjunk, on 10/19/2007, -8/+31pics or it didn't happen
- chris9902, on 10/21/2007, -0/+21just watch Die Hard on rerun and you'll get the gist
- crashflow, on 10/18/2007, -0/+19Hey, he's got a million dollars in his name, plus a story no one can match. I'd keep my feet firmly on the ground and just get a book and movie deal if I were in his shoes...not that I would like be in them, not even for over a million dollars.
They can just greenscreen the whole commercial from his non-flammable, non-explosive, crash-proof, padded nuclear bunker... - Disjunto, on 10/18/2007, -0/+18lucky for him, unlucky for everyone travelling with him
- Snowspot, on 10/18/2007, -0/+18I wonder what the implications are for this in terms of quantum suicide... how many different versions of him have died compared to the ones that survived? He could be one of the last versions of himself left in all the different parallel universes.
- pbaehr, on 10/18/2007, -0/+17Luckily, yes. Unluckily, it only works if you use your face and your mouth is open.
- Niceguy4186, on 10/18/2007, -0/+16I'm going to call BS on this one too. My guess is that these are more exaggerations. A puff of smoke under the hood later turns into the gas tank exploding
- taylooooor, on 11/02/2007, -1/+15This is from the talk page of his Wikipedia article:
"One man dreamed all his Life about been Famous...Couldn't make it as a musician...Then he won a lottery!
He had found local 'journalist',who published a story of little truth and lots of fantasies in the local newspapers.Naive western 'journalists' have transfered story in their newspapers (without checking the facts in the archives or talking to witnesses!) and the Lucky Star was born...
Now,they should go back to Mr.Selak and ask him about his 5 marriages and his sons that he never cared about.Or,at least-check the archives and try to find reports of all these 'incredible survival-stories'.You finally made it,Dad!
Selak Z"
(all errors SIC) - NinjaBoy, on 10/18/2007, -0/+14Dugg for use of word, kickassedness
- luskin, on 10/18/2007, -1/+14Bet he couldn't go up to a bunch of bikers and say "Hey, aren't you Richard Simmons's best friend...Richard Simmons?"
- drastik21, on 10/18/2007, -1/+14I also fell out of a plane once... good thing I landed in a pillow factory
- rocman9, on 10/18/2007, -0/+12He didn't wanna end up hanging out with Jack and Sawyer and friends for the rest of his life.
- Chongo, on 10/18/2007, -0/+11Hurley unavailable for comment
- Klak, on 10/18/2007, -0/+11i guess we can call off the war on terror then
- x5pfif, on 10/18/2007, -1/+12i would say.. lucky even tho he gets into stuff he gets outa it fine.. so.. lucky
- Puttzy, on 10/18/2007, -1/+12Imagine this dudes insurance rates!!!
- exomni, on 10/18/2007, -0/+10"OMG HAXORZ!" -- God
- pieinthesky, on 10/18/2007, -0/+10He was probably driving a Yugo or a Lada. All you gotta do to get those to explode is look at them the wrong way...
- brjndr, on 10/18/2007, -0/+9Yeah, but after the Dorito's commercial he has to fly back from Austraila
- louiedog, on 10/18/2007, -0/+9Or a crossover. Death stalks a real world super hero. I'd netflix that.
- chris9902, on 10/22/2007, -2/+11say what you see.
- slipkn0tz23, on 10/22/2007, -1/+10I'm not getting close enough to that guy to be able to rub his belly.
- Maciula, on 10/19/2007, -2/+10Someone please call Mr.Glass
- spootmonkey, on 10/22/2007, -3/+10death just can't beat him i guess
- MxM111, on 10/18/2007, -0/+7It took you that long to call a fake?!
- NinjaBoy, on 10/18/2007, -0/+7*****! Why don't you go take a torch to your gas tank and tell me how non existent the explosion was. Im not saying that this is typical at all, but it CAN happen.
- lukeev, on 10/18/2007, -0/+6Grim Reaper has to be really pissed off by now.
- NeonElixir, on 10/23/2007, -0/+6Since when is luck a physical phenomenon?
- sgtbutterscotch, on 10/18/2007, -0/+6WTF? I demand an explanation.
