What A Way To Go

Most of us know by now that when a person dies, the body goes crazy and anything you have left to release gets released. So is it a far stretch to die on a toilet? I think not. In fact, according to a former boss of mine, it's happened at several Kmarts as well. But I think it'd be weird to go on an airplane. The fact that they didn't notice someone was in the bathroom by the time they were making the final approach is pretty sad. The flight attendants are supposed to check the bathrooms once they get relatively close to making a descent and getting ready to land. They should've noticed at least a few minutes before.


But what about being attached to 1,000 balloons? On April 20, this priest took off, by balloons, and lost contact with his ground team. They recovered his body earlier this month, just finally confirming his identity via DNA testing. I think it'd be interesting to take a look at the autopsy report and see how he died, because there are so many dangers in pulling a stunt like this - going too high and losing access to air, the balloons popping or shrinking, getting pecked to death by birds - the possibilities are nearly endless.

And "Another Way to Die." It's the new Bond movie theme song. And get this - it's a duet between Alicia Keys and Jack White of the White Stripes. What a poor combination of voices! It really will be another way to die.
