To die for

BBC "almost fully recovered" link Cue the squid...

Yes - it has the right to remain silent until the doctors come. If you ban abortion, there will be an increase in unwanted children. Surely that can't be a good thing. Well I was unwanted and I think I've turned out to be a good thing or at least that's what my mum said. I think it should stay for rape cases and I don't count the morning after or first week or two, but I do think a foetus has rights. The woman is the host, the carrier and, finally, the mother. But a life is a life, distinct from that of its parents. There's a big difference between unexpected and unwanted. I think there are enough disadvantages in the world without adding "mistake" to the list. I agree that there is a stage in pregnancy where a collection of cells becomes a person with rights but until that point abortion should be allowed. I would certainly want the option. Can you tell I'm not a parent..

I'm not a fan but stories like "The Pit and the Pendulum" remind me that sadistic minds are not a new concept as the makers of "Hostel" and the "Saw" films would have us believe. Maybe I'll re-read it...

Sue Barker: "OK Ally, for your team it's motor racing. We're going to show a clip of some horrific crashes set to some zany music - all we want to know is how many deaths were involved?" MPFC will be probably be delighted to know it was 8. A particulary tasteless video selection, even by the internet's standards. This is worse..the victims.

Nope - where there's blame, there's a claim

Wow! How did we miss that one? He only died on May 20th

Yeh!! I wasn't going to be the one who suggested it but let's play:

Is it not this one then? Plenty of rants here: http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?...l=pool%20hunter Ha, ha, that Hoonter thread's a right cracking read. We need something to spark a Ranters Return. Excellent, I'd forgotten how outraged the easily offensive can be. I'm voting "Things to do while waiting for death", my favourite thread for the cruel and unusual.

I think we've been there before re this book, like on the previous page of this thread. The Crystal Cathedral plays a big part in the life of that neice, and also in the life of Evel Knieval. Any of our posters ever been there. It's a bit of a hike fra Maryport, like. Oops...can I have "hangover" as my excuse?

Niece says Tammy is in denial over her impending death.

Another Melly article, BBC this time.

Pemba Doma Sherpa has fallen off a mountain... Not particularly famous, I know but I decided to post this anyway because initially I thought the BBC article said "fallen 8000m" not "fallen from 8000m", yep, I'm easily confused

Now here's one for the celebrity death match: Jerry Falwell vs Anna Nicole Smith

Apologies if this has already been posted, read it, liked it... A squid joke.. One fine day in a small restaurant in a small town by a small river in a small county of France, there was a chef named Le-Faice. Le-Faice was a big butch Frenchman who took enormous pride in his strange and unusual variety of cuisine... until one day when a young waiter requested a squid for one of the customers. "The squid must be mild- mannered, green of colour, and have a moustache!" exclaimed the waiter. "No problem!" replied Le-Faice, "We have one left." But there were problems, for as Le-Faice prepared to slaughter the freak squid, he couldn't help noticing how cute it looked sitting on his chopping board. In fact, after 3 attempts at raising his cleaver to kill the squid, a tear rolled down his cheek with pity. "I can not do it!" he cried "I can not kill this poor defenceless, mild-mannered, moustached squid of the green complexion". So, Le-Faice grabbed Hans (the German dish-washer) and gave him the cleaver. "Kill!" shouted Le-Faice, pointing at the squid, but Hans was weak and was also unable to bring harm to such a cute looking thing. And you know what that means? Hans that does dishes is as soft as Le-Faice with mild green hairy- lipped squids!

Window cleaner drowns in own bucket!
