Seen below is an X-ray of Shafique el-Fahkri, a 20-year-old student who was attacked outside of a Melbourne, Australia nightclub in January.
During a brawl, another 20-year-old, Liam Peart, threw a metal-framed chair at Fahkri. The chair leg went through Fahkri’s eye socket and down into his neck. Amazingly, Fahkri not only survived but did not lose his eye, which was pushed to the side by the chair leg. From The Age: Read more... (206 words, 1 image, estimated 49 secs reading time)

In a move that was so bold, so extraordinary, and so out of this world, the owner of the Chicago Blackhawks gave his fans their wish. After so many seasons of the Blackhawks sucking in the NHL, and watching the team skip prized free agents and extending contracts of the “fan favorites”, Bill Wirtz, the owner of the Blackhawks, finally decided to listen to his fans.
Years of fans calling for his head, fans yelling “Go to Hell!”, and faceless (yet oh-so-brave) Internet bloggers instructing Wirtz to “Go kill yourself” (in that cute, impish way that only Internet geeks can end any argument), Bill Wirtz finally listened. On the morning of September 26th, Bill Wirtz died from his complications of cancer. Read more... (184 words, 1 image, estimated 44 secs reading time)

Marcel Mangel, better known by his stage name Marcel Marceau, lead a quiet life. When he was found dead on Sept 22, I was speechless. Not much noise has been made over the man’s death. It seems as though the media is remaining closed mouthed about the whole story. The Marceau camp is keeping hush on the cause of death. Nobody has heard one way or another. One can only guess that he went out on the downlow and without a bang. Mourners have been asked to send mums to the funeral in lieu of gifts.

So, is it that more celebrities attempt suicide because they live under a microscope of the American public, or is it that people all over attempt suicide, but only the rich and famous get news stories written about them? Owen Wilson, the latest big-name celebrity to try to off himself, created a seven-day whirlwind of stories, publicity, public well-wishers, and press about how dramatic and horrific this is. Sure, to see someone try to end their lives is sad, and maybe even traumatic, but should we be so much more concerned because Owen won’t be able to join his buddy Ben than we are about the alcoholic, empty life dude down the street?

A virtual world where women can shop without leaving their homes, losers can bang the hottest chicks in the world, and sickos can fulfill their wildest adventures has finally reached the last place you might ever go.
Death By Internet.
And no, I’m not talking about virtual death, or chatting about death, or even watching an underground snuff film. I’m talking about the Internet killing you. For real. No more you. It could happen.
Last week, a 30 year old man in a southern China cyber cafe appears to have died of exhaustion after a three-day Internet gaming binge. First he fainted, then paramedics couldn’t revive him, then they declared him dead. Read more... (276 words, 2 images, estimated 1:06 mins reading time)

Brett Somers’ death was predicted on this site five months ago, after Kitty Carlisle died. If you recall, I thought Kitty Carlisle was the big-glasses-wearing broad on The Match Game back in the 70′s. Once I found out they weren’t the same person, I vowed to add Brett Somers to my list in the 08 version of this game.
Well, Brett must not read my site, because she died on September 15, 2007. One person at least reads this site — Eric had her added to his list for the mini, so he gets a solo shot score for this one. Read more... (157 words, estimated 38 secs reading time)

… and time’s a’wasting. Granted, he still has about a year and a half until his death points decrease because he turns 81, but we’ve been waiting for this guy to go since early 2006. I did a news look up to see how old Ariel was doing, and the news is that there isn’t really any news.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon remains comatose and attached to a respirator nearly two years after a devastating stroke, a spokesman for Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv said Sunday. Read more... (284 words, estimated 1:08 mins reading time)

The body of a 41-year-old man was found in a wooded area next to a guillotine he built and used to kill himself, police said.
The man, from the Detroit suburb of Melvindale, was discovered Monday by workers from a shopping center near his home.
Groundskeeper from the Fairlane Green shopping center at Outer and Fairlane drive discovered the body shortly before 11 a.m. Monday.
