Beware of falling coconuts

My father's uncle died of a massive heart attack. He was sitting in a reclining chair with a huge piece of chocolate cake. When I think of how I want to go out- death by chocolate is pretty high on my lists. Usually, signs that tell me about things falling from the sky, are unsettling. Signs that tell me a coconut could take me out make me think- that wouldn't be a bad way to go.

You know, when I was in Micronesia, I was told that ~75 people die from falling coconuts per year.

About a week later, we were having lunch on an island inbetween dives, and this guy sat down under a coconut tree; a coconut fell from the tree, landed about six inches away on his right side, bounced up and over his head, and then landed on his left side...he then ate it for lunch :)
