  1. Anyone else read the comments about the famous people who died during sex. It seems the information is not accurate.

  2. Ditto.

    I thought it was Genghis Khan who died one his wedding night, but that could be a myth too.

  3. Yeah, there’s a bit of inaccuracy sprinkled throughout that article.

    Still, that thing about Matthew Mcconaughey’s dad is true – I saw him (Matt) talk about it on Leno (or Conan, I don’t remember which).

    As for Khan, one myth is that he died when a princess he captured killed him. Apparently, “she hid a small pair of pliers inside her vagina and hurt Khan so badly that he died.”

    That’s from Wikipedia, don’t attack me if it’s wrong, lol.
