Sorry, it wasn't from landing in a bearshark cage.
 

Evel Knievel has, unfortunately, died of liver failure at 69.

for those of you not aware, Knievel was a famous (if not the MOST famous) stuntman, and did a lot of great things in his life, including jumping greyhound buses, shark cages, and inspiring a Simpsons episode.

Thoughts, Comments, Mournings?

I loved the guy, but his kid's a fucking prick.

I wish he could've died wheelchairing off a cliff or something, not liver failure. Pussy.

Earliest form of Jackass known to man.

Comparing Evil to the Jackass retards is just insulting.

I heard he was racist bastard, but meh.

RIP.

Realise I'm right and then kill yourself.

My guess is a mod will rename this to:

'Sorry, it wasn't from landing in a bearshark cage. [Death of Evel Knievel]'

ON TOPIC:

I wonder if being a stunt man shortened his life?

Yeah, I'll get right on that.

Retard.

I heard that he didn't cry at his mother's funeral and that he shat in a school playground.

RIP

i jest, i jest. All is well fellow retard.

Evel Knievel = performing rediculous stunts for no reason other than entertainment.
Jackass = performing rediculous stunts/stupid acts for no reason other than entertainment.

one adjective off!

I remember when I was a lot younger, he attempted to make a jump over the Grand Canyon on a rocket powered bike. He fell just short of the edge. His family were watching and thought that he had died, but he was just badly injured. He was awesome.

Suppose that in the broadest sense of the this, it is correct.

That said, i can`t quite think that an attempt to jump 19 buses on an old hacked out Harley, and having a pool ball dropped on your nuts from a second story window, are in the same league.

At one time his sister ran the bar at the Holiday Inn in Bozeman Montana
I wanted to jump her. ;)
