So I have to admit something. I own most of the books in the series titled "The Darwin Awards", which is all about "individuals who ensure the long-term survival of our species by removing themselves from the gene pool in a sublimely idiotic fashion." Basically it is about people who make very stupid decisions that end up causing their untimely death. It always amazes me the decisions that people make in their life which can result in the end of their life.
Today I found on wikipedia the following list: "The List of Unusual Deaths" which accounts the unusual deaths of people for centuries. Many of these cannot be verified, but many others can. Makes for some interesting reading - as well as some insights on things NOT to do if you want to live a long, happy life. Strange, I know... but give it a try - you might find yourself even chuckling a little bit, as well as your jaw dropping, and also a bit of pity.
I read all of those and they are truly gross.
