The More You Know: Burying Yourself Alive Will Kill You


On Jun 02, 2011

Here's a fun fact: Did you know that people willingly bury themselves alive to change their luck or overcome their fear of death? Yes, it's true. Just like this other fun fact: Burying yourself alive can kill you.

Alas, some dude in the small Russian town of Blagoveshchensk (no relation to Rod Blagojevich) decided that burying himself was the best way to receive a lifetime of good luck. Into a small garden hole he went, snuggled within a homemade coffin with holes for air pipes. 

Ah, but the 35-year-old computer programmer was a smart fellow and took precautions, taking a cell phone and bottle of water. In retrospect, he probably should've packed some extra oxygen, and, perhaps, and I'm going to speculate here, not freaking buried himself alive. Yeah, the dude's buddy found him dead the next day, possibly from a cthulhu attack but more likely suffocated by heavy rainfall blocking his air pipes. 

So friends, neighbors, loved ones, please don't bury yourself alive. It's a horrible way to better your life. Although if you do, at least you'll be saving yourself from the cell phone cancer
