    It is a bizarre, yet humorous ending.

    It was probably a tortoise of the apocryphal variety…

    What about the gal who was skewered by a runaway beach umbrella? That was funny.

    To get a good helping of farcical, self-induced deaths, see the Darwin Awards.

    Yes, Aristotle’s work “Poetics” can be summed up thusly:‘Tragedy’ is when I, Aristotle, cut myself shaving;‘Comedy’ is when you, Aeschylus, get a tortoise dropped on your head and die.

    Death can be comical, humorous and chuckle-inducing to some.

    Supposedly an eagle would drop them on rocks to break their shell in order to eat them and mistook the bald head of Aeschylus for a rock!
