The penguins got him.

Dead At Your Age has notified me that as of today I am as old as Robert Falcon Scott was when he keeled over.

History says that he starved after his poorly conceived expedition to the South Pole ran out of supplies. But we know the truth. He stumbled on something Man Was Not Meant To See and was eaten by a band of SAS Penguin trainees. Captain Oates' final words were not "I am just going outside and may be some time" but were instead "Bloody Hell! Run for your lives! AIEEEEE!!!!!!"

This clarification of history is just one of the services i provide.

Fascinating site! Rather depressing though; so many accomplished people died so young.

Bollocks! If you were 33rd Degree, you'd know his last words were "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Aptenodytes R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!"

Oates was a penguin. Infiltrated, sabotaged, misdirected the humans -- and then slipped away to summon the penguin death squad.
