Bewildered with the weirdness of the "List of Unusual Deaths", from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. From that list, I show you a maximum card with Harry Houdini, the escape artist, who died because of a few fists (that's punching, not fisting, I might specify)
"1926: Harry Houdini, a famous American escape artist, was punched in the stomach by an amateur boxer. Though this had been done with Houdini's permission, complications from this injury caused him to die days later, on October 31, 1926. It was later determined that Houdini died of a ruptured appendix.[63]"

"Harry Houdini (born Erik Weisz; March 24, 1874 – October 31, 1926) was a Hungarian-born American magician and escapologist, stunt performer, actor and film producer noted for his sensational escape acts. He was also a skeptic who set out to expose frauds purporting to be supernatural phenomena.[1]"

Germany's Choice: Part 2 | STRATFOR. Also, I show you a metaphoric maximum card with Star Wars: it's always tricky to continuously identify your allies and your enemies. Your absolute enemy might be your relative. Seeing the light and walking into it might just mean a LIGHTSABER, not a LIFESAVER
Germany's Choice: Part 2 | STRATFOR
Germany, Russia...who is enlightening their allies?
Who is lightening up, if any?
Who is lightning-fast for the power-grab?

Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
