    Evel Knievel is dead

    Legendary US daredevil Evel Knievel has died at the age of 69, his granddaughter has said.
    Knievel had suffered ill-health, including diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis - an incurable lung condition - for several years.

    He underwent a liver transplant, after nearly dying of hepatitis C, in 1999.

    Knievel gained cult status performing death-defying stunts in the 1960s and 70s, including an attempted motorcycle jump over Snake River Canyon in Idaho.

    He isn't dead.

    This is his ultimate death defying stunt. He is currently locked in battle with the Grim Reaper.

    Religions are like eyeglasses. Some people need them to see the world clearly, some people don't. Except people never seem to get killed over eyeglasses.
    Language is a filter which distorts our perceptions. In order to truly experience reality, one must transcend language.
    Do I get a prize for a mod posting this in my thread?

    Steve Irwin was funny as hell; I miss that crazy bastard. Let's let the man rest in peace, and not dis a man who's been dead for over a year.

    I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshiped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us.... You see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring... which makes it like sex.
