#1 Oh.... this is the same guy reported struck dead yesterday. I was hoping for a trend.

Unfortunately, as Ptah pointed out yesterday, this seemed like a reformer ayatollah, so being smitten by allen will be a positive indicator for the Mighty Mad Mullahs.

#5 Two-Minute Warning by George Carlin:

"Now, you might be wondering why I would even suggest that someone can affect the manner and style of his death. Well, it's because of a mysterious and little-known stage of dying, the two-minute warning. Most people are not aware of it, but it does exist. Just as in football, two minutes before you die you receive an audible warning: "Two minutes! Get your shit together!" And the reason most people don't know about it is because the only ones who hear it are dead two minutes later. They never get a chance to tell us.

But such a warning does exist, and I suggest that when it comes, you use your two minutes to entertain and go out big. If nothing else, deliver a two-minute speech. Pick a subject you feel passionate about, and just start talking. Begin low-key, but, with mounting passion, build to a rousing climax. Finally, in the last few seconds, scream at those around you, "If these words are not the truth, may God strike me dead!" He will. Then simply slump forward and fall to the floor. Believe me, from that moment on, people will pay more attention to you."

#6 First croc I tasted was at Carivores in Muldersdrift. Nothing beats their Kudu, but the croc wasn't actually bad.
