  • How not to die

    Death is a reality,and there is no escape.We live until a certain time,which nobody knows,and then one day,for some reason,we die.
    Nobody has ever found any way to escape death,and nobody knows,when they are going to die.It's always a suspense,and mystery.
    Here are some of the Dumbest Deaths in Recorded History.Ironically,these were some of the greatest minds in the history of mankind.Enjoy if you can.

    Tycho Brahe:

    An important Danish astronomer of the 16th century. His ground breaking research allowed Sir Isaac Newton to come up with the theory of gravity.
    How he died: Didn't get to the bathroom in time.
    In the 16th century, it was considered an insult to leave a banquet table before the meal was over. Brahe, known to drink excessively, had a bladder condition-but failed to relieve himself before the banquet started. He made matters worse by drinking too much at dinner, and was too polite to ask to be excused. His bladder finally burst, killing him slowly and painfully over the next 11 days.

    Francis Bacon:
    One of the most influential minds of the late 16th century. A statesman, a philosopher, a writer, and a scientist, he was even rumored to have written some of Shakespeare's plays.
    How he died: Stuffing snow into a chicken
    One afternoon in 1625, Bacon was watching a snowstorm and was struck by the wondrous notion that maybe snow could be used to preserve meat in the same way that salt was used. Determined to find out, he purchased a chicken from a nearby village, killed it, and then, standing outside in the snow, attempted to stuff the chicken full of snow to freeze it. The chicken never froze, but Bacon did.

    Aeschylus:

    A Greek playwright back in 500 BC. Many historians consider him the father of Greek tragedies.
    How he died: An eagle dropped a tortoise on his head
    According to legend, eagles picked up tortoises and attempt to crack them open by dropping them on rocks. An eagle mistook Aeschylus' head for a rock (he was bald) and dropped it on him instead.
