6 Orang Yang Mati Karena Hal Yang Gak Penting

Sejarah banyak mencatat orang" yang mempertaruh diri mereka untuk membuktikan sesuatu yang mereka percayai. Apa yang sejarah tidak ceritakan adalah bahwa ada beberapa orang yang mencoba mempertaruhkan nyawa mereka hanya untuk membuktikan sesuatu yang tidak berarti bagi siapa" kecuali bagi diri mereka sendiri.

Ini adalah ke 6 orang yang membuktikan satu hal terpenting


1. Franz Reichelt (1912)
Seorang penjahit dari Perancis, dia mencoba membuktikan klo dengan pakaian buatan dirinya semua orang bisa terjun dengan selamat dari ketinggian manapun.

Lalu dia mencari tempat yang tinggi untuk membuktikan hal tersebut. Karena waktu itu menara eiffel adalah tempat yang paling tinggi, jadi dia mutusin buat lompat dari situ. Namun sayang, apa yang dia pikir bakal jadi percobaan terhebat justru membuat dia sukses menghantam tanah dan mati seketika.

2. Bando Mitsugoro VIII (1975)
Seorang aktor pemeran kabuki di Jepang yang terkenal pada tahun 1975. Waktu itu dia sama" temannya mampir ke sebuah restoran untuk memesan empat porsi liver ikan fugu. Dia mau ngebuktiin klo dia bisa makan itu ikan dan tetep hidup.

(Klo loe belum tahu, ikan fugu itu termasuk makanan yang paling beracun klo disajikan sembarangan. Jangankan empat, loe makan satu porsi aja bisa mati beneran)


ikan fugu
Setelah 7 jam Mitsugoro ditemukan tewas, menurut data forensik, Mitsugoro tetap sadar meskipun dalam keadaan sekarat ketika keracunan, dia benar" lumpuh sampai akhirnya mati perlahan" karena kehabisan nafas. Bener" menyakitkan

3. Garry Hoy (1993)
Seorang pengacara terkenal di Kanada. Dia punya kantor dilantai atas sebuah gedung. Nah yang dia pengen buktiin adalah klo kaca di kantornya itu anti pecah walaupun dihajar pake apapun.

(Sepanjang pengetahuan dan pengalaman gw, kaca yang seperti itu cuma termasuk jenis kaca anti peluru. Klo dipasang sepanjang gedung kayanya ga mungkin, karena mahal paling kaca" kaya gini cuma dipasang di mobil)

Well, back to Garry. Dia pun mencoba usaha pertamanya dengan berlari menghantam kaca. And you know what? Kacanya ga pecah! Tapi entah apa yang ada dipikirannya. Dia justru jadi tertantang untuk memecahkan kaca tersebut

Setelah mundur beberapa langkah, Garry lalu berlari sekencang"nya dan prankk?!! Kaca itu akhirnya pecah! Garry pun dengan bangga membuktikan klo kaca itu ternyata bisa pecah. Namun sayangnya dia baru sadar klo keberhasilannya itu justru membuat dia kini terjun bebas kebawah dan akhirnya tewas.

4. Jeff Dailey dan Peter Burkowski (1981)
Dua sohib ini adalah maniak game arcade Berzerk. Berzek adalah game arcade atau yang lebih kita kenal dengan sebutan dindong ini sempet jadi hit ditahun 1980.
Jeff dan Peter berlomba buat dapetin skor tertinggi sampai akhirnya....

Jeff ditemukan meninggal karena serangan jantung setelah mendapatkan skor tertinggi 16.660 (666 angka setan, ada hubungannya ga ya? ). Peter tidak menyadari klo tubuh dalam keadaan lemah pun, video game bisa jadi hal yang sangat ekstrim, dan serangan jantung yang menewaskan Jeff itulah salah satu bukti.

Setelah 2 tahun kemudian Peter berhasil mengalahkan skor Jeff, namun akibatnya fatal. Karena kelelahan Peter terkena serangan jantung sama seperti apa yang dialami Jeff. Dan dia pun meninggal...

Btw, jadi inget sama kasus Lee Seung Seop, remaja korea yang tewas karena serangan jantung setelah maen game Starcraft 50 jam non-stop

5. Jennifer Strange (2007)
Tahun 2007, sebuah stasiun radio KDND 107.9 di California mengadakan sebuah kontes bertajuk "Hold Your Wee For a Wii". Jadi prinsipnya dasarnya loe harus nahan pipis / kencing selama mungkin setelah minum beberapa botol air Dan sebagai hadiahnya tidak lain adalah konsol nintendo wii. Mainan yang lagi hot" nya waktu itu.

Kontes ini menarik perhatian jennifer, apalagi sebagai seorang ibu yang mempunyai anak. Kali aja klo menang nintendo nya bisa jadi hadiah terbaik buat si anak. Dia pun mengikuti kontes itu, tapi apa yang terjadi..

Jennifer meninggal karena apa yang disebut dengan "Water Intoxication" atau keracunan air. Jadi karena terlalu banyak air yang masuk kedalam tubuh terjadi ketidak seimbangan elektronik yang akut didalam otak.

Hal ini sebenarnya sayang banget menurut gw. Memang adalah hal yang wajar klo orang tua akan melakukan apapun demi kebahagiaan anaknya, cuma hal itu kan ngga berarti mereka harus melakukan sesuatu diluar batas, apalagi cuma untuk mendapatkan barang yaa... Satu buah game konsol yang notabene sebenarnya bisa didapatkan klo kita rajin nabung.

Dan pada akhirnya Jennifer tidak memenangkan kontes itu, dan semua pihak di radio yang terlibat dari awal saat itu juga langsung dipecat

6. Christopher Mccandless (1992)
Udah pada nonton film "Into The Wild"..?? Klo udah pasti tahu jalan ceritanya.

Ada beberapa orang yang punya motivasi untuk hidup di alam bebas, jauh dari peradaban. Dan Chris adalah salah satu orang itu..

Sebenarnya dia orang yang pintar dan bahkan waktu itu denger" dia dapet beasiswa sampai puluhan ribu dollar Tapi ngga tahu apa yang ada dipikirannya waktu itu, dia memutuskan untuk membuang hal itu dan mulai menjalani hidup baru di alam bebas tanpa bantuan siapapun. Meninggalkan pendidikan, teman" dan bahkan keluarganya sendiri.

Mencoba sesuatu itu boleh, tapi tanpa persiapan yang matang semua itu bisa jadi bencana. Inilah yang terjadi dengan Chris, karena tidak punya pengalaman sama sekali dan juga minimnya peralatan yang dibawa lambat laun dia terdesak dan mulai kelaparan. Setelah hampir empat bulan bertahan hidup dengan hanya memakan biji"an dari tumbuhan, Chris pun akhirnya tewas karena kelaparan. Dua minggu setelah itu mayatnya ditemukan masih terbungkus selimut tidur oleh 2 orang pemburu yang kebetulan lewat

ON A DIFFERENT WAVELENGTH by P.B. Lecron


When I first set up house with my new French husband in the north of France years ago, I told him we needed a microwave oven. Being neither chauvinist nor particularly epicurean, he agreed. 

But in a home appliance store where we went to purchase one, along with a new video camera, the salesman talked my husband out of it. At the time microwaves were relatively new on the French market. "You don't want one of those," he said. "My wife has one and never uses it." Then he lead Jacques off to the camera department.

We did buy a microwave the following week, but in different store where the salesman was less personable...


To microwave artichokes: 

I had always boiled artichokes, but discovered how wonderful they are microwaved. Quick and easy, microwaving artichokes gives them a fool-proof perfect and savory texture.

Cut off stems and top third of the artichokes. Pull off small lower leaves around base. Trim leave points with kitchen scissors.  Rub artichokes well with a lemon half; place in a microwave dish having about an inch and a half of water. Squeeze the rest of the lemon juice into the water and cover with plastic wrap. Cook from 5 to 10 minutes depending on the strength of the microwave and number of artichokes. Artichokes are done when leaves can be pulled out easily and bottoms are tender.

After cooking, remove artichokes from water. If desired, scoop out the prickly choke before serving by first pulling out tender center cone of leaves, then scrape the choke out with a spoon. May be served hot, warm or cold with a sauce, be it simple and sinful melted butter, a vinaigrette or Hollandaise sauce.

THE ARTICHOKE NEXT DOOR


We shared our landing with a French lawyer, or avocat, which incidentally, in French is the same word for avocado. One day when I was startled by a noise, my four-year old said, "Don't worry, maman, it's only the artichoke next door."

What do the French mean when they say someone has a coeur d'artichaut or artichoke heart?

My best sources tell me that a person with a coeur d'artichaut is someone who falls easily and often in love,  just as one pulls off leaves of an artichoke as one eats it. The expression comes from a 19th century proverb, "Coeur d'artichaut, une feuille pour tout le monde." He who has the heart of an artichoke has a leaf for everyone.

THE LAST BITE by P.B.Lecron

When porno-chic ads for luxury goods, at first reserved for the pages of high-fashion magazines, began spilling over into French streets a few years ago, many wondered just how far the ads would and could go. School boys squirmed, teenagers smirked and tired mothers sometimes wilted at the sight of them.

Created  in-house by trend-setting haute couture names, and of the highest professional and aesthetic quality, the porno-chic ads were often veritable works of art depicting all sorts of nuanced tabous. But when the eyebrow-raising ad trend took hold and trickled down to commonplace, bas de gamme product lines, the obvious happened.  The fashion industry made an about face and headed off into a more well-behaved direction.

At the tail-end of the trend, signaling that what-was-hot-is-not, was an ad that I don't think I'll ever be able to forget...


From a distance it looked like any other non-descript fastfood ad, which even here in France, we had become accustomed to see. But as I approached the neighborhood bus stop publicity panel, it became clear that this was the strangest advertisement for a hamburger I had ever seen on either side of the Atlantic.

The ad for Quick, a major European-owned fastfood chain heavily implanted in France, featured a photo of its latest burger and read in big block letters: "Votre estomac aussi a le droit d'avoir un orgasme."  Translated: "Your stomach also has the right to have an orgasm." Would that be an unsettling rumble of indigestion?

I couldn't help but wonder what kind of ambience reigned during the brainstorming session that produced this ad.  Did this give new meaning to "fastfood?"  In France, of all places, how could a lowly hamburger--albeit it embellished with bacon--make such an unlikely incursion into the realm of sensual gastronomy?

By necessity, food ads have to make a direct appeal to primary instincts, but this one seemed overly inclusive even for the toga party crowd.  While it's fatal for an advertisement to go unnoticed, the shock-value metaphor used here felt more like an unappealing collision of biological functions rather than a ringing of the appetite alarm.

I don't mean to be a killjoy, but while the younger rebel set might have gobbled up this brazen burger ad, it must have been hard-to-swallow for the unsuspecting mother who happened along with an inquisitive eight-year-old who plied her with the inevitable question.

What's she supposed to say, ask your father?

I asked my guitar-strumming, skateboarding, Franco-American hybrid teenagers what they thought about this ad, and they both replied, "Bof," which in French roughly means, "Big deal."

My very French fourteen-year-old did comment that the hamburger ad went too far, but not for the reasons I would have expected. His complaint was about the ad's hyperbole and gave me eye-opening evidence of his budding epicurism.

"It's not as though that burger chain were a Michelin three-star restaurant," he reasoned. A logic which presupposes that some meals here do merit the metaphor...

IT'S HARD TO GET A TABLE by P.B.Lecron

At first we glowed with satisfaction when we saw an impressive write-up about our favorite hideaway Italian restaurant in a trendy Parisian magazine. Reading it, we could almost taste the sun-ripened tomatoes and smell the fresh basil. The appreciative review confirmed that yes, we did have good addresses and, yes, we were among those-who-know.

Then it dawned on us that the favorable publicity might attract more customers than our cozy restaurant could handle.  Look what happened to Peter Mayle, that English writer who gave away all of his best addresses in the books he wrote about French Provence, only to see his favorite haunts be invaded by swarms of English tourists picking lavender and looking for goat cheese. He finally had to pack his bags and leave the south of France.

Nobody in his right mind wants to see his favorite eating spot become so popular that he has trouble getting a table. Eating out was one of our greatest shared pleasures, and with our health problems an Italian Mediterranean menu was just what the doctor ordered--for both of us. My husband and I both had cancer.

My husband's cancer had been diagnosed back in the United States on a visit home. His American doctors gave him a prognosis of no better than six months without effective treatment. Once back in France, his French doctors almost made it a point of national pride to keep him alive, which they did for a long time.

Midway through his seven-year remission, my cancer was diagnosed. It was an easy case with early detection,  rapid treatment and a good prognosis. Our doctors were not the most expensive, nor did they work in the swankiest clinics, but we felt they were the best we could have found. With medical visits multiplied by two, we saw so much of our shared physicians that we began to feel, well, clubbish about them.

Then one day when we heard a rumor that a highly-publicized celebrity had consulted our doctors, we suddenly felt like we did when we saw that restaurant review. Although if we glowed this time, it would have been more likely from radiation than from satisfaction.

Would this mean that our already-overworked doctors had been "discovered" and would become overnight sensations? Would they be in so much demand that we would have trouble getting comfortable seats in the waiting room, let alone appointments for our turns to climb up onto the examining table?

"Well, there goes the waiting room," I lamented.

The more we thought about it, the more we fretted. But by the grace of another affliction from which we both suffered--we were terminal wags--our qualms were soothed by a dose of humor. Maybe we'd do our elbow-rubbing and knee-knocking at one and the same place.

So the next time you have to sit in the hallway outside a full waiting room, you can tell this joke: "Why is a good doctor like a good restaurant? ... It's hard to get a table!"

Antipasto at home 
 This quick and easy antipasto inspired from our Italian hideaway looks gourmet, but without the fuss. A colorful showy one-dish supper, you can prepare it ahead of time and keep it chilled in the fridge.
Light and delicious, you can play with the proportions depending on your appetite and diet.

All you need are:

Several slices of thinly sliced mortadella
3 or 4 sliced tomatoes
Buffalo mozzarella cheese, sliced in wedges
Fine green beans, fresh or frozen, cooked tender-crisp and cooled
One lemon, cut in half
Virgin olive oil
Fresh basil
Herbal salt
Italian breadsticks (or equivalent)


Prepare each plate individually by alternating the cheese and tomato slices, arranged next to the green beans and mortadella--either rolled or loosely folded over itself. Add a lemon half to give tang and color. Just before serving, drizzle with a fine stream of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with snipped basil. May be seasoned with herbal salt and accompanied by Italian breadsticks.
