A records office in Dorset recently found a 17th C list of bizarre death causes, including 'frightened to death by fairies' , and 'fighting a duel with frying pans and pitchforks' . Can anyone improve on those?

Such as their phone number if they never call their own home or their age if they choose not to celebrate birthdays for whatever reason.

Mother told me it is going to be to cold to take baby out this week. She also said to stay in my self because your skin will feeze. I never do listen to her but almost ever time I didn't she was right so this time I am got to. I told my husband that it is to cold out to walk to the store. We live like 6 blocksd from the store. Do you guys think he was dumb to go or it is not that bad out?

I would have thought this would have been a passion killer but it seems that you can be arrested in Texas if you don't use a weapon when you ask a girl to go to third base.

A product worthy of the halfwits who run the European Union! But No - our own home grown cretins want to turn the clock back so that wolves can control the Deer population! So will they be shot if they find other animals more tasty - and easier to catch? They certainly will if they attack sheep, "but farmers could be compensated" they claim! And what does the RSPCA have to say about all the pain and suffering caused - particularly when, like foxes, they seek easier pickings around towns and villages? Inevitably a child will be attacked/killed - so will the peabrained promoters of this daft scheme be held responsible? Or will there simply be a massive cull of these beautiful animals?

I've just read a question about someone grassing on someone else, it really annoyed me,

I've only lived in my house a few months and i'm decorating,
I have my own private car port out the back which is out of the way of others and not in the way, I had a few old plants and my daughters old pushchair and a few bits,
I was intending to get a skip and clear it in a few weeks.
Yet someone goes to the council and says i'm putting my rubbish in there, I got an official letter.
Whats the matter with some people ???
What do they gain from it ?????

what do you think will bring the peace back to these individuals? (i'm referring to gang wars, drug dealing, robbery, etc...) If you live this kind of life, why do you think you will accomplish doing this, that you couldn't more peacefully accomplish through student loans, and a college education?

why do so many people talk about child mortality in 3rd world nations? we in the west hardly even have kids, choosing rather careers and luxury items over kids. and if we have kids, we either abort them or give them up for adoption. we do these things yet we speak so much of the mortality rates in countries that are already overpopulated, in countries where there isnt even enough food or resource to sustain the population. im not here to talk about the religion or whats right or wrong. what im saying is in some western nations more children are killed by our choices than are born, yet we as hypocrites want to feel sorry for the children in overpopulated, under-resourced nations. its like some kind of UN plot to depopulate developed nations, and let developing nations take over...

Bostonians - this one is especially for you.
IT WAS A PROMOTIONAL GIMMICK!
My God people...what is wrong with you?
So, I suppose if Nickelodeon wanted to secure the naming rights for the Big Dig and started placing SponeBob statues everywhere, you'd shut the Big Dig down for fear the sponge was going to eat the city? A gay sponge with a tie is one thing - a terroristic threat is another. Know the difference.
"Oh My God! It's a blinking blue light! It's going to kill us! HELP!" America has gone mad if a harmless object used as a joke paralyzes a city.

How many people think that Boston went completely off the deep end with their response to the "threat" they faced earlier this week?
Again - Bostonians, this one is especially for you...but any red-blooded American who thinks that this Security Level, terror threat thing has gone too far is welcome to answer.
