Today I got a Riply's Believe it or Not, and its interesting. One thing that i thought was funny was the Top 5 Ironic Deaths.

1. Francis Bacon, English Scientist and philosopher, carried out experiments on preserving meat with snow, but caught a cold and died.

2. Molière, French playwright, fell ill and died while playing the role of the hypochondriac in his work.

3. Bobby Leech, U.S. daredevil, survived going over Niagara Falls in a wooden barrel, then died a few months later after slipping on a banana peel.

4. Bat Masterson, legendary Dodge City, Kansas lawman survived feuds and gun battles to pass away quietly at his desk.

5. Will Rogers, U.S. humorist, was killed in a plane crash in 1995, the newspaper column he had just completed ended with the word "death".
