Somewhat scarily, other than that little detail (Which I actually knew but figured wasn't important...additionally, I wasn't sure if Ball Lightning was ever printed in a set that called Haste Haste...if that makes any sense), and the omission of its mana cost, I did in fact get the stats of the card right. And like NSNick, I haven't played Magic in years and years. |

Originally posted by Yoronosuku What did you expect, though? The police in Asian countries are corrupt like that. I know one guy on the internet who got into trouble in China and was able to pay off the cops and return to the US. I'll spare you the details - but I can tell you that what he did was somewhat justified. 1626: Francis Bacon, English philosopher, statesman, and essayist, died of possible pneumonia after purchasing a chicken and stuffing it with snow to see if cold could preserve meat. Pond Square in London is reputedly haunted by the chicken's ghost. I might mention that that is personally one of my favorite ones on that list just for that last part. |

Originally posted by Emptyeye I thought of that too, even though I haven't played Magic in forever. |

Originally posted by Yoronosuku Wow. At first glance I thought the guy was somebody who was waiting for his food at the table and just killed himself. This is many more times funnier. |

Never deny the power of the food. |

An important meal with guests I suppose. |

He only got out because his father is rich and famous over there, or else he would have been serving life in prison unbelievable..
anyways, did anyone happen to catch this one? 1671: François Vatel, chef to Louis XIV committed suicide because his seafood order was late and he couldn't stand the shame of a postponed meal. His body was discovered by an aide, sent to tell him of the arrival of the fish. ...what the hell? XD |

Why do I not seem to find any of these funny, and the thought of watching someone get hit by a falling airplane would scare me for life? |

See, there are some people in South Korea that take gaming way too seriously.
Why do you think everyone's tapping the market? |

Originally posted by Metal Man88 You think getting struck by lightning is qualifies as having horrible luck? Imagine getting struck by something else that came out of the sky - that wasn't a flowerpot or anything. Something bigger, like with what happened to this guy (which I might add somehow escaped me until someone brought it to my attention) 1989: A Belgian teenager was killed by a crashing soviet MiG-23 fighter jet, which escaped from Poland on autopilot after the crew ejected over a false engine failure alarm. I must admit though, that would be tragically hilarious to watch. Watching him get nailed by a falling airplane. |

I think being hit by ball lightning qualifies as 'HORRIBLE LUCK', don't you? Not to mention how strange the other deaths are. Steve Irwin's in there, too! |

Jack Daniel, founder of the famous Tennessee whiskey distillery, died of blood poisoning from a toe injury he received after kicking his safe in anger when he could not remember its combination code.
Have to watch out for those safes. Those things are lethal... |

...
He was being lowered into the ring by a cable and safety harness. Owen was afraid of heights and did not like this. His nervous moving to get comfortable triggered an early release. He fell 78 feet and his chest smashed into a turnbuckle. That's generally fatal. |

1999: Owen Hart, World Wrestling Federation or WWF (now World Wrestling Entertainment or WWE) wrestler, died when he fell 78 feet while being lowered into the ring by a cable from the stadium rafters before a match onto a metal ring turnbuckle. He had been scheduled to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship that night.
Wrestling may be staged (this was not during a match, mind you) but how do you fake gravity? |

I wonder if anyone's ever died of a heart attack from a scary video game? |

that's because we don't exactly have expansive records of everything that occured 2000 years ago. |
