Deffinatly even if they would have never made it onto any Death pool their deaths are still surely significant

In some cases (give me a chance to find a example) its not the life of the unknown which makes them famous it is in fact their cause or way out of this world which then makes them famous CASEY JONES CASEY JONES (1864-1900), U.S. railroad engineer John Luther Jones was born near Cayce, Ky., and carried the nickname Casey throughout his life. He began work on the Illinois Central Railroad as a fireman in 1888, soon graduated to engineer, and thereafter drove express freights in the South and Midwest. On the night of Apr. 29, 1900, when he ended his New Orleans-Memphis run on the Cannonball Express, he learned that the engineer scheduled for the return trip was ill. Casey needed the money, so he took the throttle of the "Old 382" again. At 4:00 A.M. near Vaughan, Miss., he saw a stalled freight train on the track ahead, tried to brake his hurtling locomotive, but knew he couldn't stop it in time. "Jump, Sim!" he shouted to his fireman, and Casey rode his engine alone into the collision. He was the only casualty; workmen found his mangled body with one hand on the whistle cord, the other on the brake. Newspapers spread an account of the incident throughout the country, and engine wiper Wallace Saunders, a black friend of Jones's, wrote "The Ballad of Casey Jones." The song immortalized Casey's name and made him a legendary folk figure. Casey's home in Jackson, Tenn., is now a railroad museum.

If it was April 1945, and I was Clint Eastwood in Where Eagles Dare, except the mission was changed and I had to kill Hitler hiding in his mountain castle, I'm pretty sure I could pull that trigger. Its a shame really that in the end he took his own life bet the whole allied forces we gutted they didnt get a shot at him

Nobody is wishing anybody dead we are just looking at foregone conclusions of people we know are going to die soon. Death is a morbid facination, even the fact that you have signed up and posted means ur interested.

if they are going to get an mention in the British press then they are fair game! picking a cent is not a guarantee for a hit is it?

Jesus is an interesting one. How well known throughout the world was he at the time he died? Were millions of people thinking, "Damnit, Jesus died", or was it just the disciples and assorted hangers-on who were sad? For me, the death has to have a profound impact on people everywhere at the time the person goes. Besides, are we totally certain there even was a Jesus? Thats the point tho! it doesnt matter if he did or didnt exist the point is that his "death" was prolific and still effects people today. I think it was more than his followers so yes id say that he would have been famous in those days. Half the roman army was after him surely that would have made him well known. Im not religious in anyway and i usually have these sorts of debates with believers but u cant doubt that its effected the way we live today thats the sh*t with religion, its all good to have a faith if it makes you happy but if it starts causing death then its got to be questioned

if donny dies you can bet it will be the happiest funeral ever

Play jokes on people in lifts Oh the Hilarity! -
a really bad joke i got sent yesterday, so bad i thought id share it and for once its clean. A farmer goes out to his field one morning only to find all of his cows frozen solid. As far as the eye can see are cows, motionless like statues. It had been a cold night, but he'd never thought anything like this would happen. The realisation of the situation then dawned on him. With his entire livestock gone, how would he make ends meet? How would he feed his wife and kids? How would he pay the mortgage? He sat with his head in his hands, trying to come to terms with his impending poverty. Just then, an elderly woman walked by, "What's the matter?" asked the old lady. The farmer gestured toward the frozen cows and explained his predicament to the woman. Without hesitation the old woman smiled and began to rub one of the cows noses. After a few seconds the cow began to twitch and was soon back to normal and chewing the cud. One by one the old woman defrosted the cows until the whole field was full of healthy animals. The farmer was delighted and asked the woman what she wanted as a repayment for her deed. She declined his offer and walked off across the field. A passer-by who had witnessed the whole thing approached the farmer. "You know who that was don't you?" asked the passer-by. "No" said the farmer "who?" "That was Thora Hird."

How about Jesus! surely his so called death has led to countless amounts of suffering, pain and death all in his and his fathers name. Apparently he also died for our sins aswell believe me if you go just on mine he must have been carrying a bloody big burden.
