What do you think?

Now that's just odd! It's even weirder that only other president that died outside the "realm of the curse" just happened to die on a year that ended in 0.

I think the reason why the curse is supposedly "failing" is the same way faith works in Final Fantasy Tactics. Oh well.... there are many things that are weird on planet Earth.

Kow, if you're just going to post a link when creating a serious discussion thread, at least give your own opinion.

Meh, I don't believe in curses. That crap is as much bull as religion.

Tecumseh didn't do the curse, goddidit.

"Curse" That's where you lost my interest in posting seriously. Ever heard of "high numbers"? If you're in a stadium of fifty thousand people, chances are that they'll be a good deal of people with the same first name as you. It's like looking at a splattered pattern of paint, it's inherently meaningless, but people try to see images inside it when there's really NOTHING. There is no pattern in randomization, even if there appears to be.

Sounds creepy Good I cant be president of USA...

I laughed when I read that Bush almost died choking on a pretzel.

Yea, choking is funny!

Whoever chokes is stupid!

people were making jokes out of that pretzel incident. People were like "There are lots of leaders and powerful men out there, like osama, saddam, etc that really want to kill bush and a piece of pretzel did the best out of all of them.

Heh, I never said they were stupid, that's your opinion. And yes, choking on a pretzel is funny, yet it has nothing to do with intelligence. Especially when it's George Bush and a near-death experience which relates to Tecumseh's Curse.

I frequet the town of Tecumseh and nothing bad happens there.

The Deadly Pretzel!! Oh the deadly pretzel! Wait till its cousin attacks... hmm... And to think, he choked on it. while watching football. lol.

Bush Vs. Pretzel

While I'd agree it's probably chance, the odds of what happened happening aren't all that high.

"Indeed, all American presidents elected in a year divisible by 20 between 1840 and 1960 died in office:"
It also said, though I'm too lazy to look for it, that only two other presidents died in office, I believe.

I think it's more likely that, rather than just events matching some curse that was supposedly made, someone noticed that presidents elected in 20's have usualy died and made this up.

How on earth is it funny?

Because it is?

Here, try reading this:

Okay, Mr. Logic. I'm now convinced that someone being unable to breath is funny.

You're a joke.

I'm sure I tried to make you believe it was funny.

I said this:



Notice how I used the word I. That refers to myself. I don't give a blam if you don't find it funny, and I'm not going to convince you that it is.

There's logic, and then there's emotion.

And I asked you why you find someone being unable to breath funny, Mr. Logic.

Let me ask you why do you care? Why do I need a reason?


Oh, I know why I think it's funny, because goddidit. There's your reason.

Because it's sick, quite frankly.

Okay, good for you.

Now tell me how is it "sick". And what is wrong with laughing at it? Try and give me a clear answer.

Why do you care? I'm not going to let you off easily, dodging all of my questions, and then give you a detailed answer as to why laughing at someone being unable to breath is sick.

Yea, I'm not going to try and define right and wrong. Have fun believing in your opinion of what "sick" means.

And I already gave you an answer.

There's no argument.

If you're going to sit there laughing at someone who can't breathe, you are sick. It's black and white, buddy.

I'm sure it is.

So what if it's sick, does it matter? It doesn't change the fact that I find it funny.
