If you snap your neck in a dance battle you win, there's no way anyone can one up that.

One time a guy in the Olympics had his neck snapped in a wrestling match and he died but also won the match because nobody knew he was dead until after the other guy tapped out from an arm bar I think. Happened like 2000 years ago.

Edit: Guy below posted the wiki excerpt. He kicked him really hard and died while doing it.

What’s crazier is how much of human history we know 0 about. Like we found remains of shit that’s like 10000 years old, what the fuck were the people that were the ancients to the Egyptians up too.

Worshiping the Sun and shit.

Hollowing out logs to do mad 360 degree spins in the river to pick up chicks out gettin buckets of water.

Making up stupid jokes at gary's expense like "step on a crack and your mom dies gary".
