Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

I didn’t really use KZbin before I found Norm, then I watched everything I could find on him. Those lonely college nights where everyone was out drinking I was cozily watching Norm and loving life. I can’t explain what a diamond in the rough his videos are. I’m sure there’s many people like me who mainly used KZbin for Norm vids. I hope he felt appropriately appreciated for the stand alone stand up he was. I used to say the Beatles were the archetypal band, Norm was the archetypal smoky nightclub comic. His death marks the end of a certain kind of comedy, one that isn’t just telling stories where you acted stupid. He understood life in a way I think certain of us really needed to hear said by a respected figure. We all know what we have in common. AND HE WAS CANADIAN! I know there won’t be another like him, and that’s equally as sad. He had an infectious smile and he walked his own path. He was a beautiful person, he was a deep person and he deserved more love than his life allowed him. I know heavens dying of laughter. Hopefully Ol’ Normy can put in a good word for humanity to the almighty. “Ehh, come on God. People aren’t that bad, we’re just stupid and horny. Give them a break, huh? You’ve been sitting here in the sun surrounded by moisture and really attractive flying people. We got ugly people down there, and someone still has to fuck them - sorry, but imagine ‘man is created equal’ oh yeah created equal, then why does Henry get to bang the model and I’m stuck jerking off to crackwhores on dial-up internet.”

A prime example of what life is like after you’re gone. Be the person you want your friends to talk highly about when you’re no longer here.

[@WhoShotDHostage]

I remember the first time I saw norm macdonald was at the santa barbara bowl with sandler, spade and a few others, I remember the entire bit he would try and light his cigarette, but right before it would light he would start another story and this went on for 15 mins or so. I swear it could of been 7 times he tried lighting it and each time he would stop and start another story and the whole crowd was cheering him on and then ahhh in sadness. Out of every bit by all the comedians and adam singing his hanukkah songs you could hear everyone talking with confusion on how norm wouldn't light his cigarette. He truly was the best story teller. RIP NORM

[@jeromej9768]

I’ve been thinking a lot about why he didn’t say goodbye. I’ve concluded that he left us wanting more as a true entertainer would do. The man was all class. It was the kfc

Joe's listeners are just now figuring out that when he says that he's a moron and nobody should take his word on anything, he's not joking.

[@DoctorCyan]

You know, I used to think he was cool for being aware of his flaws, but the way he’s still selling his utter dogshit comedy specials and calling himself a comedian really draws back from that. If he was even a decent stand up I’d probably like him a lot more, but I think his wild success has gotten to his head

Ari served as a perfect conduit between Joe and actual funny guys Normand and Gillis. There was a good chemistry in the room and even Joe knew it.

it is honesty beautiful when you hear these stroies about people meeting or working with norm. because he goes out of his way to make people feel happy and laugh even if he hardly knows them. it seems like all he ever wanted was to make people smile, whether or not anyone else knew
