after world - Dumbest death in history

Dumbest death in history

Francis Bacon: One of the most influential minds of the late 16th century. A statesman, a philosopher, a writer, and a scientist, he was even rumored to have written some of Shakespeare’s plays.

How he died: Stuffing snow into a chicken. One afternoon in 1625, Bacon was watching a snowstorm and was struck by the wondrous notion that maybe snow could be used to preserve meat in the same way that salt was used. Determined to find out, he purchased a chicken from a nearby village, killed it, and then, standing outside in the snow, attempted to stuff the chicken full of snow to freeze it. The chicken never froze, but Bacon did.

Jerome Irving Rodale: Founding father of the organic food movement, creator of “Organic Farming and Gardening” magazine, and founder of Rodale Press, a major publishing corporation.

How he died: On the “Dick Cavett Show”, while discussing the benefits of organic foods. Rodale, who bragged “I`m going to live to be 100 unless I`m run down by a sugar-crazed taxi driver,” was only 72 when he appeared on the “Dick Cavett Show” in January 1971. Part way through the interview, he dropped dead in his chair. Cause of death: heart attack. The show was never aired.

Aeschylus: Greek playwright in 500 BC. Many historians consider him the father of Greek tragedies.

How he died: An eagle dropped a tortoise on his head According to legend, eagles picked up tortoises and attempt to crack them open by dropping them on rocks. An eagle mistook Aeschylus head for a rock (he was bald) and dropped it on him instead.

Jim Fixx: Author of the best selling “Complete Book of Running,” which started the 70's jogging craze.

How he died: A heart attack….while jogging Fixx was visiting Greensboro, Vermont when he walked out of his house and began jogging. He’d only gone a short distance when he had a massive coronary. His autopsy revealed that one of his coronary arteries was 99 percent clogged, another was 80 percent obstructed, and a third was 70 percent Blocked….and that Fixx had had three other attacks in the weeks prior to his death.

And finally there’s Lully, the 16th-century composer who wrote music for the king of France. While rehearsing the musicians, he got too serious beating time with his staff, and drove it right through his foot. He died of infection.

after thought - one from the quite mind

Having lived another weekend. Doesn't sound great deal of work though. But it can be hard enough when you not find the one with whom you want to spend the weekend. Happened with me. Nevertheless, time files so does people, and they eventually come. But is it fair that time ticks slowly when she is not here? and ticks faster when she is with me? Life is unfair. Six months have passed since i came back and still no sign of something where I could occupy myself.
Six months, lots of things happened, lots of fights, lots of emotions, lots of struggle and with the present scenario, lots more to come. And I'm welcoming all of them with arms wide open. If so be it. Six months and i know now, what is world like, what is rat race and what is the famous "Broken annda"
Six months......nothing happened and many things happened.
But where is the end? if at all there is.
How much more time shall I bear these burdens?
In simple words......
fuck'em !
