Curse of the Oetzi the Iceman strikes again

Here's another take on this story from an Australian newspaper:

Death as iceman's curse cometh

It makes good conversation, I guess, but we all know curses aren't for - GAK! Can't breathe. Ah -h-h

The Guardian notes: ""Like all good curse theories, natural death, accidents and sheer bad luck have been compressed into a single sinister hypothesis."

The guys that just yanked the body out of the ice should have been shot.

I didn't realise the Ice-Man was an Islamic-anti-Western-Saddam-loving-American-hating-freedom-denying-terrorist!!*

And a fuc*king smart one too! He managed to anticipate the discovery of the Americas, the birth of Muhammed, the invention of democracy, the rise of the First World and the concepts of freedom and terrorism! Bomb the nations of Italy, Switzerland and Austria before his heinous legacy can infect other nations!





*and probably a homo too!

It's a pity that we are not able to know the book
Oetzi is still a mystery then Sad

when i was a child i thought oetzi was a snowman with body covered with snow. In contrast, the photos showed that he was just a human like us Sad

Geez, Setanta sure does spoil the fun. Killjoy. Whatever, I'm believing in the curse anyway, 'n I bet Set's the next one it gets, too. SO THERE!

I do love me a good creepy curse. Smile

Have you heard of the Curse of the Social Security Numbers? Everyone with a Social Security Number is doomed to die and the longer you hold your number, the shorter your years are likely to be.
