Jill Dando? Her boyfriend wanted to paint the door but she was dead against it.

(rather dated sick british celebrity death jokes r us)

She is still "captured", which probably means she's died by accident and they hid her body.

Considering she worked for an organisation with "Christian" in its name, she was dead the moment she was captured.

Yeah, we did the same trick with Rudolf Hess in WW2.

Do you think Christian Science regards negotiation in the same way as medicine?

I don't think so. There was a pretty big effort to get her released by the monitor, her family, and even many Islamic organizations.

im not too sure what to think about it. it may of been a hoax, not sure if you guys have heard about his, but some beleive it is because:

when she was captured it said 2 days to realease women prisoners or something along those lines

a week or so later she was in another video with that days newspaper, still alive

its not common for the people capturing hostages to keep them alive well past the time they say they would

I do love the misnomer "Christian Science". It's up there with "Military Intelligence".

Yeah, i am secretly ashamed of myself. It's not as bad as my Neil Armstrong/Micheal Jackson joke though.

oooh oooh, i want to hear it:D

They did release video well after the first deadline with a new deadline, wouldn't be surprised to see that again... best guess is she's still captured, but probably has a better chance of making it out alive than most kidnapped...

oooh oooh, i want to hear it:D

Whats the difference between Neil Armstrong and Micheal Jackson?
Neil Armstrong was the first man to WALK on the MOON....

I wonder whether Galileo would have subscribed to "Christian Science Monitor".

I doubt it.

I dunno, he might have wanted a giggle.

very unexpected, kind of

I don't know, those early pioneers seem more like Onion men to me.

i had read somewhere that the name Christian Science Monitor is a great misnomer, that it doesn't really deal in christianity... too lazy to look it up tho.

very unexpected, kind of

Heh, yeah, it's a shock tactic joke.

The sickest "unexpected punchline" joke i know is the one about the woman who goes to the doctors.

The doctor checks her out and says "well, i have some news for you. In nine months you'll be spending a lot of time off work and dealing with nappies"

woman says "am i pregnant? am i pregnant? OOOH! i am aren't i? I'm pregnant!"

Doctor says "no, you have cancer of the colon"

I'd have thought they'd have respected the late, great TVGOHOME.com (now taken over by some swinish domain stealer, curses).

:D i like that one

Yeah, we did the same trick with Rudolf Hess in WW2.

Hess died in Spandau in 1987, ages 93, he didn't die just after he was captured.

I was referencing an ancient conspiracy theory (that i don't ascribe to) that Hess died early on in captivity and was replaced by a double. I believe some relatives of his and the doctor who first treated him believed it.
