Hello Alexander,

 LL>> What happens when you put a fire extinguisher inside of an

 LL>> A [not-so-clever] Russian welder found out -

 LL>> My Russian language skills are not the best, but I do get the

 LL>> I do take this is "real news" rather than "fake news". I mean,
 LL>> nobody can make up this kind of stuff. Not even me.

 ak> Well, some climb mountains and tumble down to death. Some other make
 ak> risky experiments. I, personally, like more the latter. Death in the
 ak> process of an experiment is noble. ;=) It was a cool guy.

I saw a Canadian man (born in Czech Republic) who had survived
falling over Niagara Falls in a wooden barrel try to duplicate his
feat in the Astrodome in Houston, Texas.  The barrel he was in hit
the side of the water tank on the field, after having been dropped
180 feet from the top of the Astrodome.  He was cut almost in half,
but somehow survived a few hours until expiring the next day.

His last words were reputed to have been -

"There is no heaven or hell; there is no God.  It's all myth.
You're born, you live, one day you die and that's it."
~ Karel Soucek (survived original stunt Niagara Falls July 3, 1984,
did not survive redux stunt Astrodome January 19, 1985}

How to commit suicide before a live audience.

No wonder he insisted on payment in advance.
