I got an email from Mike Taylor of Radar Online that included this: "We all hope to live our last moments with quiet dignity, surrounded by loved ones. But it doesn't always work out that way."
This piqued my interest, so I went to the site, and found their list of the 100 worst ways to die. I think we all enjoy the schadenfreude of reading about someone kicking the bucket in a particularly embarrassing way. Their list made up, but pretty good all the same. Some worst case scenarios:
-The back of the Hallmark Store, clutching a Precious Moments figurine.
-Reclining in a purple box, after volunteering to be a magician's assistant.
-The cougar pen at the Bronx Zoo, gingerly retrieving your Swatch.
-The handicapped stall at work, trying out that "autoerotic asphyxiation" thing you read about on Wikipedia.
-Just outside a Mexican "farmacia" with a bag of "la Viagra" in your hand.
-Next to a giant boulder, just after amputating your left arm, much closer to civilization than you thought.
-The Scientology Center, clutching an E-Meter.
That was just the beginning. Wandering around the site, I found great stories and links to other sites with great stories. It had the potential of consuming my whole day. I learned:
-It's tough to be a supermodel. Really.
-Celebrities can be pushed too far! 25 celebs flippin' the bird at paparazzi.
-The timeline of the decline of robin Williams.
And, well, much, much more.
