I have recently found a song from Metro Trains Melbourne, called Dumb Ways to Die (Youtube), which is quite funny, I think. There is also a Minecraft Edition of that.

Today, I think I died at least 5 times trying to get my stuff back in the Harad desert. So I decided to look up, how often I already died on the server. I was astonished to read: 33 deaths! I am most grateful, that Mincraft believes in rebirth.

So here are some of my deaths on the server, that I can remember:


 * I fast travelled to the Misty Mountains at night. It was very foggy there inside a cloud. I stepped froward a single step and fell to death. It's quite difficult to get your stuff back, when you don't have any building material in this steep region.
 * While reading the chat and running forward at the same time I fell in a hole and died. While searching for the hole I fell in a second time and died again. While climbing down the hole I slipped and died a third time in the same hole :-(. This was not my lucky day. The 4th time I poured a pail of water down and succeeded.
 * Normally, the scorpions in the Harad Desert can easily be avoided. But today, I've run into one and the hole hoard attacked. It took me at least 5 attempts and 3 sets of armor/bows/food to get it all back. I tried to pillar up and shoot from above, but they knocked me down and I died again.
 * I suffocated several times in the ground, due to lag while loading the game.
 * I drowend while trying to loot elven ruins. That's punishment for my greed.
 * I downed while typing a message while swimming. :-)
 * I was killed by evil players, some of them I provoked in advance, so it was kind of revenge.

That was my list, probably not complete and now, it's your turn to tell us about your dumbest, silliest or most interresting way to die in Middle Earth.
