#1 – How do they know this? (although I suspect it’s true, and creeps me the fuck out.)
#2 – Varsity running back in the class below mine; cerebral hemorrhage during practice.
#4 – Hundreds of barrels per single burial? Really?
#6 – Well, that partly explains David Carradine.
#8 – What if you’re instantly incinerated in, say, a pyroclastic flow? Or electrocuted?
#13 – I’m donating my body to Science Fiction.
#14 – “Popped their clogs”…?
#15 – Strippers @ mine

If you would like to read the details of the different ways that this happens, there is a unsettling and/or excellent book written by an ICU Surgeon called How We Die which covers the each variation in explicit detail.
