    A man in Brazil walks into his own funeral

    Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
    Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
    Towards the sun, carry your name
    In warm hands you are given
    Ask the wind for the way
    Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
    Accept all as it is and do not blame
    God or the Devil

    Where's that "I told you so" despair.com poster I made for the bailouts?

    Wasted money you think, MVP? Just a year later, yes?

    I read that yesterday. It must have been so scary and lonely.

    He should write a book about his experience.

    I would have been really, really scared - especially if i heard people talking about how i might not recover and whether or not to pull the plug!

    To hear things in a book would be pretty interesting - i've heard a similar story about a woman who fell into a strange sleep and heard the paramedics pronounce her dead - but actually, her breathing was so shallow that it couldn't be felt and a the pulse was so weak it couldn't be felt either.
    She was in a morgue for 3 days before she was able to move and said that it was so tramatising that she couldn't even speak about how she felt and what she thought and saw.
