      tip: thanking people for likes will only reduce the number of likes you receive
      bonus tip: keeping an eye on the number of likes you receive can only have negative effects on you and never positive- the public opinion is almost always wrong, thus should not be considered of any value to you

    My great aunt was blown up by the IRA. Was a catholic too
    Story goes:
    An ira man stole her next door apartment neighbors ID, robbed a nearby store then dropped it to frame him
    In his apartment (they had already kidnapped and murdered the man) they rigged bombs that would go off upon opening the door
    My great aunt decided "I havent seen him in a while, im gonna go check on him" so she went with another neighbor, knocked on the door and didnt get a response
    Eventually she just tried entering, turned the handle and was immediately blown to bits, only my granny was allowed to see the body to identify it and said it was beyond words, and that there was so so little left of her yet it was so clear who it was
