This is the only one I could find...There's gotta be more I would think?


Leeds-based brewer Joshua Tetley successfully challenged escape artist Houdini to free himself from a padlocked metal cask full of beer. Houdini failed and had to be rescued from the cask half conscious (and probably half cut as well).

Yeah a burst appendix has got to be a real pisser.

Interestingly enough...

"modern medical knowledge gives no reason to believe Houdini's acute appendicitis was caused by any physical trauma. McGill University's archive supported this idea: It appears that Whitehead's punch to Houdini's stomach, while not fatal, aggravated an existing but still undetected case of appendicitis. Although in serious pain, Houdini nonetheless continued to travel without seeking medical attention."

A girlfriend in college once told me that she liked to sit on my stomach and slide back and forth, using my abs as speed bumps for her clit. For real.
