The most surprising, bizarre, comical, fantastic, grotesque, ludicrous and extraordinary deaths every recorded.

The famous composer who died from hitting himself with his baton whilst conducting an orchestra... The great dramatist who was killed y being hit on the head with a tortoise... The ancient philosopher who was ground to death in a stone mortar... The British general who was beaten to death with his own wooden leg... And the man who died of exhaustion - after eighty-seven orgasms on the same night!

This was an interesting book. Full of fascinating facts that you are sure you will remember so you can conjure them up at appropriate moments, but I've got to admit I've forgot most of them. It's taken me a while to read it because I found it best in little snatches.

I'm sure I released this somewhere but I can't for the life of me remember.
