ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2006/06/02, 09:17 AM No one dies for "natural" causes anymore - Come to think of it, no one really has in the past either. They just did not know what to call it
mysticgraces Posts: 422 Joined: 2006/02/21	2006/06/02, 11:07 AM Its usually called "Cause of Death-Undetermined" its a catch all phrase used when the coroners dont know what the heck the person died from
Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2006/06/02, 03:06 PM I guess freezing to death would be a "Natural Cause" among other things. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press. Ivan Montreal Canada

yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2006/06/06, 11:26 PM Ah... but would you rather have seen it say "you've live 29% of your life" or "you've LIVED 71% of your life?" t -------------- I am training for birthdays. Be here. Live. Love. Hope. Now. Faith. Believe. You. - Keith Urban

Hopefully after I have my bowel movement they were so interested about :) ============= You actually bring up a valid point...are they trying to say that there's a set number of bowel movements in a persons life...so if we like hold it for a few days we'll live longer? You think this could be the secret to longevity?
