Dumb ways to die

"Dumb Ways to Die" is a song by Australian band Tangerine Kitty. The Melbourne Metro created this awesome animated video-clip as a reminder that getting hit by a train is the dumbest way to die.

And, what does DUMB mean?

In formal English the adjective DUMB /dʌm/ means UNABLE TO SPEAK, but in informal English it is used as a synonym for STUPID. This is the sense in which it is used in this funny song suggested by María González. Hope you enjoy it!

What would you do if today was your last day?

A song to make you think:
"If today was your last day" by Nickelback
(suggested by Elsa)

My best friend gave me the best advice

He said each day's a gift and not a given right

Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind

And try to take the path less travelled by

That first step you take is the longest path

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too lateCould you say goodbye to yesterday?Would you live each moment like your lastLeave old pictures in the past?Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of lifeWhat's worth the price is always worth the fightEvery second counts 'cause there's no second trySo live like you're never living twiceDon't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too lateCould you say goodbye to yesterday?Would you live each moment like your last?Leave old pictures in the past?Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?Reminisce old memories?Would you forgive your enemies?And would you find that one you're dreaming of?Swear up and down to God aboveThat you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

If today was your last dayWould you make your mark by mending a broken heart?You know it's never too late to shoot for the starsRegardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this lifeLet nothing stand in your way'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too lateCould you say goodbye to yesterday?Would you live each moment like your last?Leave old pictures in the past?Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?Reminisce old memories?Would you forgive your enemies?And would you find that one you're dreaming ofSwear up and down to God aboveThat you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

Are you a procrastinator?

Do you know what procrastination is? A clue: "cras" is a Latin word that means "tomorrow".

We procrastinate when we delay or postpone action, when we put something off till another day or time. Do you consider yourself a procrastinator? This map can help you understand the concept:
