I only thought this only happened in...hmn, probably a dozen or three soap-opera story arcs...and maybe some prime-time shows...and a few voodoo horror stories, though those don't end well...
The funeral of a 28 year-old waiter in southern Egypt turned into a celebration when he woke up after being declared dead.
Hospital officials had pronounced dead Hamdi Hafez al-Nubi, who came from the village of Naga al-Simman in the southern province of Luxor, after he suffered a heart attack while working.
His family says grieving relatives took him home and, according to Islamic tradition, washed his body and prepared him for burial Friday evening.
A doctor sent to sign the death certificate found it strange that his body was warm. At closer observation she discovered he was still alive.
His mother fainted upon hearing the good news.
With the doctor's assistance, both al-Nubi and his mother were awakened and soon were celebrating with guests.

No I think the real story is that the Egyptians are holding out on their doctor that brings people back to life with touch!

I'm surprised the mother wasn't declared dead after fainting.

Really Rock Band forums?! You have a piece of news like this, and nobody links to the "I'm not dead" scene from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
For shame...May 20th, 2012: 4 long years since HMX released "Hysteria" by Muse. The wait for more Muse DLC has to end at some point, right?

Guybrush would never do any real harm to anyone, even vicious piranha poodles.
If these walls could talk, the stories they'd tell,
and if they did, there'd be a whole lot of hell.
