a real list of Jesus's twelve disciples, and their putative demises

A tongue-in-cheek posting has elicited an unfavorable response:
this site is very very RUBISH!
when i wanted the names of Jesus's 12 disciples you gave me names like cuck there was not one of them with the real disciples names like Paul or Jon.i mey never come on your web page again!
To make amends, I offer a genuine list of the favored twelve, and the ways they reportedly met their maker.

Simon Peter, a.k.a. Peter
Lanced a boil too deeply and bled to death.

Andrew
Quietly passed in his sleep at the ripe age of 56.

James Zebedee
Shot to death in a bar fight over his support of Galilee's much-reviled football team.

John Zebedee
Struck by a car, date unknown.

Philip
Overdosed on Percoset.

Bartholomew
Last seen on the tarmac at Haifa International Airport clutching a suitcase stuffed with shekels.

Thomas
Lung cancer from a lifetime of cigarette smoking.

James Alphaeus
Did not expect the Spanish Inquisition; burned at the stake for heresy.

Thaddeus, a.k.a. "Gomer"
Broke his neck falling down stairs at 48.

Simon the Cananean a.k.a. Simon the Zealot a.k.a. Jude James
Gunned down in a turf battle with a rival gang.

Judas Iscariot
Hanged.

The Spanish Inquisition weren't for another millennium or so, but the implicit point is indeed well taken.

Not to suggest you couldn't find the Spanish Inquisition on a timeline, but only making conversation.

Little-known thirteenth disciple; perished after a debilitating bout with anachronism.
