You may have heard of people dancing to death, laughing to death or sitting on a throne to death, but there are many more surprising stories told to the Grim Reaper when the scythe is resting by the door.
What follows are what happens when you really want to stick it to your enemies for slowing your conquest of the Mediterranean, the consequences of leaving a nuclear reactor to inexperienced workers, the measures people will go to when they’re furious and hungry, and an unfortunate incident relating with an elephant-sized general.
