M.Lawrenson 11 Posted September 10, 2006 Some people think Cricket is a game for wimps, what with all that padding and the helmet, plus the fact most cricketers are immobile through most of those (long) matches.

weatherman90 7 Posted September 16, 2006 I'm not sure if this Wikipedia List of Unusual Deaths has been posted before, but there are a couple of crackers in there. Thanks for pointing that one out. I found it a while back but had forgotten about the gem. I found this one especially amusing. 1996: Richard Versalle suffered a heart attack onstage at the New York Metropolitan Opera after delivering the line "Too bad you can only live so long" during a performance of The Makropulos Case.

Rebecca de Winter 8 Posted September 29, 2006 This has got to be the funniest thread I've read so far.....the tears are running down my face.....so, how funny is it to try and slash your wrists with a bread knife and, this not being very successful, chucking yourself off a balcony after consuming a bottle of port.....and then not ending up dead, but being banged up in hospital for three months, unable to walk?? Next time I will take an overdose....much more effective...I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe Saddam Hussein's lawyers had originally instructed him to use the "you wish" tactic when confronted with his charges, but he opted instead for the "refusal to recognise the authority of the court" route. He still has the option, however, of telling the judge that he stinks and claiming to be "minty-skiller" than him "by a factor of infinity plus one". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted September 29, 2006 Star Crossed, remind me never to hire you as a lawyer. Surely the only logical response to Saddam's accusers would be for him to use the classic defence from Penhalligan Vs. Rex (1965) and state clearly 'Talking about yourself again?' followed by placing ones fingers in ones ears and saying 'La-La, can't hear you, La-La' over and over again.

Actually, not a defence in my case, merely an interpretation of the fact that I believe some of the members/moderators of DL would like to see me......dead.....or, at the very least, sodding off back to where I came from...but, then again, I could be wrong...
