    With the ordinarily cautious Edge being the latest member of troubled popular music group U2 to befall a mishap, people are starting to wonder if retiring manager Paul McGuinness put a curse on U2??:eek::pac:

    U2′s NET WORTH has been revised down to a mere €516 million — down from over €638 million on last year, according to this year’s Sunday Times Irish Rich List.

    They've been plagued with mishaps since bono fell off the stage I've night.

    Serves him right for getting too close to the edge.

    Is a huge step for Edge....he's an awful shortarse

    Yeah, he did. I was there when he sacrificed the goat. It was a bad one, really went to town with the curse, we all thought it was a bit much, but show biz people have a flare for the dramatic. Bono counteracted the curse by sacrificing a cow and it all got out of hand after that. Last I heard Paul was trying to import a Bengal tiger so it could be sacrificed at Newgrange for an ultimate curse, he didn't seem to care it would open the seventh level of hell in the process but luckily there's no magic that will convince customs to let him bring a tiger into the country.

    Well, there's the problem! You're not supposed to kill the goat, you're supposed to lay all yer sins on it, then let it run away to be eaten by a leopard. Rookie mistake.

    They used to practice in the scout den near my house back before I was even consciously aware of the world.

    And they rose to world fame from there.

    Clearly they sold their soul to someone - and perhaps someone is now cashing in :)

    There is a movie in this - bono being chased by Nicholas Cage as the ghost rider.

    It's a very funny incident though

    Asked about the secret to his staying unscathed by freak accidents, Adam Clayton attributed his longevity to his devout Satanism. "It's caused some strain in the band over the years, obviously, but my worship of the Dark Lord, Beelzebub, is surely paying off in spades."

    I was at that concert too, (the Saturday one). In 2009 I crashed a bicycle chipping a bone in my arm. It all makes sense now.

    I fed my dog a bone once. He eat it sitting on the edge of his bed. 5 years later he died.
