Ways to die in NYC

– Post-coital nap to eternity in idling car: “Love birds die in fume horror”[NYP] – Count on vitamin B to avoid heart attack: “Studies find B vitamins don’t prevent heart attacks”[NYT] – Cancer from being born not long after 9/11: “9/11 toxic tots”[NYP] – Get raped and murdered by a bouncer: Littlejohn [Gothamist] – Get hit by a bus in Brooklyn [NYP], or hit by a bus on the Upper West Side: [eOnline], or hit by a bus on the East Side instead: [AMNY] – Work at the Ragtop Lounge: “Slay club…” [NYP] – Run into this guy on the wrong day: “No longer can I tolerate”: [Found Magazine]

Had enough? Forget all this and go gaze upon the “Dance of Life” painting in the Munch exhibition at the MoMa. You’ll get the chance to see a lot of surprisingly undepressing work that you probably didn’t know existed. Satisfaction guaranteed, unless you were hoping to see the “Puberty” painting, which isn’t there (but a version of it’s there in a drawing near a version of “The Scream,” still AWOL since it’s theft.)

Newyorkette studies find that nothing prevents death as the final and ineluctable consequence of being alive, so enjoy it while you can.
