An elderly woman, who survived the Holocaust, was killed by a falling banana. Apparently, she had a skin condition that caused her skin to be very delicate, and died from complications after the pointy end cut her leg.

The beauty of it, though, is that they call her life "fruitful"

Sue the fruit companies.

 

[ríomhaire]

Supressing...urge...to laugh

 

[JNightshade]

Don't bother.

On the one hand, its a rather odd way to die. On the other hand, you're laughing at someone dying.

I'll just stick by my usual HATEHATEHATEHATEHATE opinion and administer some strong dislike to you all.

I doubt it would say that.

 

[SimonomiS]

Yeah, I think they'd spell "Reason" and "banana" correctly.

On the vestigal third hand, even she was laughing about it. D:

Do you subscribe to my way of thinking?

 

[ríomhaire]

Heard of Hitler? World War 2? The Final Solution?

 

[kirovman]

Heard of Hitler?

Yeah idiot, did you never get to the last level of Wolf3D? God.

Mein leben! D:

/harddrive dies

Well, at least she lived on for a few months and had the chance to say goodbye to everyone she loved.

The holocaust was the institutional murder of 6million jews, and alot of gypsies and other minoritys.

It was horrible, they put jewish children in deathcamps and killed 6million of them. This woman survived so respect to her, its sad she died.

When I read the title, My first thought was the Monty Python where John Cleese is the Self Defense instructor who is teaching a class on how to defend yourself is someone attacks you with pieces of fruit.

"...And now you eat the banana,Thus disarming him "

Reminds me of Blackadder (WWII season) :
"Yes, yes, but it was a viciously sharp piece of mango, wasn't it?"

 

[jerkasaur]

6million? wow...

 

[<RJMC>]

I dont want to laugh but I cant resist

 

[Sulkdodds]

6million? wow...

No shit. Conservative estimates put the total death toll at around 10-13 million and high-but-not-considered-implausible estimates at around 20 million.

The last ever episode ;(

 

[Solaris]

The last ever episode ;(

the one where they went over the top?

 

[short recoil]

Friends said it was seen as an appropriate end to a unique and fruitful life.

Lol, that had to be intended.
She earns my respect however.

 

[jerkasaur]

isn't 20 million like a whole germany now? it just doesn't make sense...

 

[Solaris]

No germanys alot mre than 20million, and there were people from poland russia france, even the channel islands. Goddamn biritsish polcie sold them out.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Remember that it wasn't just Germany but also Poland, Russia and half of Europe. And remember that it wasn't just Jews but also gays, communists, roma, Slavs, disabled people and anyone else the Nazis didn't like. As for numbers:

Estimates place the total number of Holocaust victims at up to 26 million people, although the number 9 to 11 million is usually held as more reliable.

Wow, this has gone off-topic. Look, go wiki the Holocaust if you want to know more.

 

[short recoil]

And it was all possible because they had been stripped of their firearms rights.

Anyway with thread has gone off a bit.

 

[kirovman]

People had the rights to firearms back then... it's just that Hitler's stormtroopers had quite a lot of those 'rightfully acquired' weapons.

 

[Sulkdodds]

And it was all possible because they had been stripped of all rights and half the rest of the world either didn't give a damn or agreed with some of Hitler's policies.

Fixed.

 

[short recoil]

Fixed.

You may as well have no rights unless you, or someone else can protect them.
What good is it saying "No, it's my right to live here" to someone who can just turf you off and you are unable to defend your "right"

Scalar Waves.

 

[Solaris]

They would have lost either way, with firearms or without. We should have acted sooner.

Are you suggesting that if the oppressed during WWII were armed, there would have been no Holocaust?

Hahahahhahahahahhahahahaha!


Also, falling death bananas are hilarious. I hope that's how I die. (With a terrible skin condition that makes every day tasks extremely dangerous and difficult.) :angel:

uh-oh, I've been found out. quick! to the getaway car!
