You may recall a Discover piece I posted last fall about the many facts of death everyone needs to know, including an alarming one that 80 percent of all Americans eventually die in a hospital.

This story from Neatorama takes a decidedly different and more acerbic direction, listing some of the strangest ways people have died in history. What follows are a few of the weirder ways people have met their demise, then hit the link below for the entire list.

• Slipping on an orange peel.
• Buried in garbage.
• Hit by a robot.
• Pushed off a cliff by a flock of hungry sheep.
• Growing too long of a beard.

By the way, you probably won't be surprised to learn that a few deaths were related to poor eating habits, prescription drugs or both.
