In the interests of not bringing up the Dreaded Deathfic Debate up again, Julie, I have to correct you. Ann is arguing that female deaths occur more frequently in literature and other media and that the writers seem to portray female death in a less negative light than male ones. I do not see that Ann has brought any more evidence to re-inforce this point after all the arguments to the contrary that we have presented in the various deathfic threads. However, let's please, for the love of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, NOT open up that can of worms, shall we?

“Is he dead, Lois?”

“No! But I was really mad and I wanted to kick him between the legs and pull his nose off and put out his eyes with a freshly sharpened pencil and disembowel him with a dull letter opener and strangle him with his own intestines but I stopped myself just in time!”
