WHat the hell?

otherwise it's too much to handle?

But on a more serious note, I think your friend was referring more to this.

Marie Curie

 

Marie Curie was a physicist and chemist best known for her work on radioactivity; however, she also discovered the elements polonium and radium. She was awarded two Nobel Prizes — one in physics which she won jointly with her husband and Henri Becquerel, and another in chemistry — and was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. She is still one of only two (along with Linus Pauling) to accomplish that feat. Curie is responsible for establishing the theory of radioactivity, but unfortunately she unwittingly also discovered the fatal effect radioactivity can have on your health; she died on July 4, 1934, of aplastic anemia caused by radiation exposure.

Thomas Midgley Jr.

 

Thomas Midgley Jr. was a highly decorated chemist best known for his work with "no-knock" or leaded gasoline and the greenhouse gas Freon. He suffered from lead poisoning and once poured leaded gasoline all over his hands and sniffed from a flask of it for 60 seconds during a press conference to prove the fuel was safe. One might assume that Migley died of lead poisoning, but he was actually killed by another one of his inventions — the rope and pulley system he built to support his body while he was in bed suffering from polio. He became entangled in the ropes on Nov. 2, 1944, and suffocated.

Perillos of Athens

 

Of all the inventors on this list, this guy may be the one who most deserved to die at the hand of his own invention. Perillos was a bronze worker living in ancient Rome who designed a device called the Brazen Bull to be used to painfully execute criminals. The Brazen Bull was a hollow bull in which prisoners were locked and then roasted to death by a fire underneath. The device was even designed to channel the screams of the burning prisoner out of its nose to sound like a bull. Perillos pitched his invention to Phalaris, the local tyrant lord, and after Perillos showed Phalaris the bull, he was put inside and a fire was lit underneath him. History isn't clear about if Perillos was pulled out before dying, only to be thrown off a cliff by Phalaris' men, or if he expired within the bull. Either way, the bull did him in.

Valerian Abakovsky

 

Valerian Abakovsky was a Russian inventor who died when his invention, the high-speed Aerowagon train engine, derailed on a test run, killing Abakovsky and five others. The Aerowagon had an airplane engine and propeller and was designed to carry Soviet officials to and from Moscow. Abakovsky's invention worked fine on the outgoing leg of the test run but crashed during its return to the capital city. Abakovsky was just 26 years old.

Horace Lawson Hunley

 

Horace L. Hunley was a lawyer and a member of the Louisiana state legislature who had a thing for submarines. He helped design and build three different models for the Confederacy during the Civil War and was ultimately killed when his third design went under. His first submarine was built in New Orleans and was intentionally sunk when the city fell to the Union in 1862, and his second submarine sunk in Mobile Bay in Alabama. Hunley funded his third submarine himself, and on Oct. 15, 1863, Hunley, along with seven crewmembers, died when the sub that carried his name sank in the waters off Charleston, S.C. The Confederacy recovered the sunken sub and sent it back out with a new crew who managed to stay alive and also managed a major accomplishment: to sink a ship. It was the first ship to be taken down by a submersible vessel. However, the Hunley disappeared on this first and last successful mission, taking its third crew to the bottom of the sea.

Hey, bro, it seems all journalists act the same:

"Can I give you my version of events?" asks J. #Murdoch. "You can tell us what happened," Jay responds, in apparent poke at language.

 

somewhere journo students have started a drinking game where you have to neck a shot every time murdoch doesn't recall something #leveson

This is a great story. I became interested after seeing the movie in 1999. The literally perfectly preserved submarine was discovered close to where it sank, in 1995, by Clive Cussler the writer, who also locates sunken wrecks. Inside they found the body of Lt. Dixon with his coat almost intact. A massive recovery procedure followed with the aim of keeping the submarine intact after being preserved under silt. It is on display in a museum in South Carolina if I am not mistaken.

What story?

 

He was even a cyclist. His last known act alive was to look at a cycling website. They found him decomposing in a bag like that in his bath tub. Oh, and he was an spook at MI6, qualified for operational deployment. It's fascinating. His sister reckons he had over twenty thousand pounds worth of women's clothing in his cupboard cause he liked collecting fashion. But the last time she spoke to him he was going to watch a transvestite performer. Fascinating, I tell you.
