#3 "He's dead."

"Nope. Merely astral travelling. 'E's pinin' for the 'igher planes of existence."

#4 The campers dragged the two men out of the lodge and attempted to revive them by performing a series of spiritual rituals including chanting and drumming, she said.

How about...I don't know...throwing cold water on him? Nah...drums and beads it is.

#5 See what happens when your silver thread is cut and you can't find your way back to your body?

Somewhere out there the spirit is old Doug Cook is wandering, lost, on the spiritual planes - probably forever.

Let this be a lesson to ya!

And aren't you suppose to take them from the sweat lodge directly to a freezing cold stream?

#6 Fools! Native American rituals only work in America! Couldn't you find any ~~Aboriginal~~ Native Australian rituals to perform?

Are those your grandfathers in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

#7 silver insulation?
Not part of anything native American I have ever heard of.

Sounds more like something you would have in a Hansel & Gretel oven house.

Obviously CPR would have been far too mundane and a bitter concession of Western alopathic medicine's superiority.

They also massaged their hands and feet, buried their feet in the soil and smashed sacred ceramic pipes over them to set their spirits free.

Post mortem analysis showed that despite signs of heat prostration, actual death resulted from cranial contusions.

The above entire incident is a splendid example of just how dangerous all of this "new age" pseudo-science hogwash is. Expect many more deaths from people trying to heal cancer using only ear candles, crystals and aromatherapy.

#10 I'm having a little problem ginning up any sympathy.

"Too stupid to live" really should be a valid diagnosis.

#12 I can see it. I have seen meditating people I thought were dead and they were really pissed about the mouth to mouth too.

#13 Since Vader can't take off his mask without dying, how exactly does he give mouth to mouth? And is this before or after you used the force to choke anyone nearby to death?
