I know I did. - Braxo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+39In Buffalo we had a suicide jumper jump off the top of the Buffalo City Hall. He halfway through his fall he was impaled through his stomach by a flag pole and they had to use a chain saw to cut him away.

//Not offended - Ultramontane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+36I was just reading Wikipedia's list of unusal deaths last night. They have some good ones too (of course, some are just horrible).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths - purple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35Not as manly as suffocating yourself with your own hands.
Or killing yourself with a frisbee. - elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30I don't think you understand what a Darwin Award is. You get a Darwin Award from dying in a hilarious way because of your own stupidity. Being murdered is not 'dying in a hilarious way because of your own stupidity'.
- Prysorra, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30Grow up. We have better things to do than police this place for icky feelings.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25"Death by 1) Poison, 2) Gunshot Wound (4x), 3) Beating by Clubs, 4) Drowning."
the funny part is that Rasputin actually didnt die from drowning, he got hypothermia from the cold water and thats what finally got him. crazy russians. - thecompkid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26OMFG, that was the best one. "Well, first she...." "Awesome reenactement, Yooket...hello?"
And now for some simpsons.

1975: On 24 March 1975 Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King's Lynn literally died laughing whilst watching an episode of The Goodies. According to his wife, who was a witness, Mitchell was unable to stop laughing whilst watching a sketch in the episode "Kung Fu Kapers" in which Tim Brooke-Taylor, dressed as a kilted Scotsman, used a set of bagpipes to defend himself from a psychopathic black pudding in a demonstration of the Scottish martial art of "Hoots-Toot-ochaye." After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and expired from heart failure. - grumpyrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22.... I'm not dead, but I am very badly injured ....
- scottylist, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27Not sure how we're supposed to "Enjoy" the death of others, but OK.

- cubedude6491, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20death by robot is all too real these days...
- hiPpymIck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Rasputin..
Death by 1) Poison, 2) Gunshot Wound (4x), 3) Beating by Clubs, 4) Drowning.
According to legends, Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin (1869-1916) was first poisoned with enough cyanide to kill ten men, but he wasn’t affected.
So his killers shot him in the back with a revolver. Rasputin fell but later revived. So, he was shot again three more times, but Rasputin still lived. He was then clubbed, and for good measure thrown into the icy Neva River.
Rasputin was finally dead for good. - shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18It was only a flesh wound.
- sooperdooper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Yeah, Rasputin was awesome. His name was given to him by gypsies in reference to his promiscuous sexuality. The only reason he drowned, imo, is because the river was frozen over when his killers cut a hole in the ice and threw him in, so he couldn't come up for air.
- cablefish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18How about death by marshmallow?
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2006/09/15/marshmallow-death.html - Samsong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Let's think this through by yourself...
- cocoamix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Missing audio from the the French parachute video: "Meeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrddde!!!"
- Sparkster185, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Did you know Irwin was planning on releasing his own brand of sunscreen? Unfortunately, it had be recalled because it didn't protect from harmful rays.
- JCSaint, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19I think death my felating a squirrel would be even more embarrassing.
- nerdgoturd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13hold you wee for a wii
- MasterSharma, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15 Drowning at a Lifeguards’ Party, sweet sweet irony
- aprocter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Uhh... Jesus ***** Christ... Just to warn everyone that video features a real person shooting themselves in the head, followed by a ***** load of blood...
- Zinite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12speaking of Rasputin, his abnormally large penis is on display at some museum:
NSFW obviously - http://images2.jokaroo.net/images/rasputin.jpg - drethedog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Death by Re-creation!!!! hahahaha..... stupid!!!
- idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12To make you cry.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10This isn't a joke page, he really did from a strange death.... Something like the second person ever to die from sting ray...
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Old Glory Life Insurance...for when the metal ones come. And they will.
- bioskope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9@hippymick
and dont forget when they had fished his body out of the water , they found that his lungs were filled with water. i.e he was still alive and breathing when he had been thrown in the river - milomilomilo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10@prysorra
blocked? You are posting in a comment space for an article about the 30 strangest deaths for entertainment, yet squirrel blowing disgusts you?
somebodies a little repressed >_>
at least he didn't say baby rape, cuz than I'd agree "*blocked*"
Cuz baby rape is wrong :( - robharper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I've always wondered: Was that guy any good at Starcracft? Wouldn't it be sad if he was just a mediocre player?
- Bega, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8yeah if I were to die, I'd want to be impaled also. What a manly way to go.
- DiggChainey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9**Death by Necklace Bomb
-- Actually this case was recently solved.
http://xoinks.com/mov/view_video.php?viewkey=02f55c5ac52c996e81c4 - davidrools, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Here's the link to the French guy wild mentioned, who jumped off the Eiffel tower to demonstrate his coat-parachute

g = 9.80665 m*s^-2 - Edkim, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Every time I hear a dog bark I get really scared. Dunno why.
- jhshukla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6WTF? most deaths on the list are due to infection. the "strange" part is that causes of wound/infection are unexpected. most people would get treated for the condition. I was hoping for more of weird circumstances.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It's unusual because there is like 1 stingray death a year if that...and for it to happen to an animal expert is even more unusual
- chingy1788, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Steve was filming for his daughters show when he went down that time, not his 10 deadliest sea creatures show
there have only been 3 reported cases of death by stingray - flazz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Was that the same suicide that 97 Rock showed up to and played Jump by Van Halen thorugh a PA system?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Yeah... I went to a lifeguard party once years ago. Absolute widest pool party ever. I'd be about to do something unsafe, and I'd hear the familiar life guard yell for me to stop, only the he'd just be wanting to tell me to do something even crazier. Ever rode a bicycle off the high dive? Onto a raft? Yeah I can see someone drowning at one of those.
- nakba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Their names were Yooket Paen and Yooket Pan. That's just ridiculous.
- Tochi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5From the linked article:
"The contest features people stuffing one marshmallow at a time into their mouth then saying "chubby bunny" until they can't say it anymore. The person who gags, chokes or spits out the marshmallows loses."
I guess she lost. - protogenxl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Well there you can see the scores now. St Stephen in the lead there with his stoning, then comes King Richard the Third at Bosworth Field, a grand death that, then the very lovely Jean d'Arc, then Marat in his bath - best of friends with Charlone in the showers afterwards - then A. Lincoln of the U.S of A, a grand little chap that, and number six Genghis Khan, and the back marker King Edward the Seventh. Back to you, Wolfgang
- dezmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5what do you do for fun? go on digg?
- turpenine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5maybe you don't understand stingrays, or steve irwin.
or math. - ferrofluid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The late Stephen Milligan Conservative Member of Parliament.
How we laughed in Britain at the time, the Tories were harping on about family values, then this happened.
