Hey, I bet EVERYBODY who came in contact with the mummy dies - eventually.
someone call John Edwards, Ötzi might want to sue his killers...
some people have met Helen Thomas and are still alive!
You ask me -- he had tried to knock over a liquour store and was on the lam.
Yeah, it is kind of pointless to speculate on the motive of the murder, if there was a murder.
They left the axe "to make it look like an accident". And when was the coroner suppose to show up?? And the trial judge?
Fun stuff though!!!
Since interest in our frozen friend has waned, I guess making him some "powerful leader" would heat him up again.
IWe've our "Ötzi", and he is deeply deeply deeply saddened...

It appears that Otzi was the victim of a hate crime: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_229.html
I hope you're happy...
It's Bush's fault of course...
That's some home page you've got there.
I like that chart of the Reagan Years.
Was that the arrowhead from the school tablet depository, or the grassy knoll? Where's the Zapruder cave painting?
Yeah, my guess is that in 100 years, we will all be dead.
That's really scarey!!!
Everybody has a theory. Mine is that he was trying to get over the pass into his home territory on the other side. I suspect he was part of a raiding party and either got separated or was left behind when he couldn't keep up.
You'd think a science writer for Discovery could get something correct.
"Ötzi the Iceman, the world's oldest and best-preserved mummy, might have been murdered in a struggle for power, according to a new theory that identifies the 5,300-year-old mummy as the powerful leader of a Neolithic community."
Here's an article about 8,000 year old mummies in Florida...almost 100 of them.
Here's an article about 9,400 year old mummy Spirit Cave Man found in a cave in Nevada.
