Anybody look at "Kill Bill" or "Kung Fu" in a different way, now that David Carradine has exited the world, naked and hung by the neck, while trying to get off? A "classic" is the death of "Chung Ling Soo," real name of William Ellsworth Robinson, who was a famous practitioner of "the gun trick" illusion, in which he'd catch a bullet fired at him. CLS was killed when his trick gun malfunctioned, actually firing a bullet that normally should have never left the chamber. How about something that’s not only embarrassing, but modern?

To everybody else. I kinda hate myself for typing LOL. When they come from me, they're deserved. I conserve them for times when I actually , in real life, laugh out loud.

He died of a heart attack, I believe, which isn't unusual, but the setting was certainly embarrassing, especially when you consider that his mistress proceeded to get lockjaw. They had to pry them apart. Wasn’t there a French premier who died while his mistress was blowing him?

His favorite technique was to insert a spear into the man's butt 'til reach stomach, and then set the spear into a vertical position, leaving the man hanging into the spear until death. This would take usually more than a day. He use this techniques for hundreds or thousants of people i'm not sure. Țepeș is derivated from the romanian 'țeapă', meaning sharp object or spear.
