Why is this not possible in Real Life? Have any of you heard some real-life accounts that some people might have returned from being alive?

Would almost the entirety of the Venturian Tale roleplaying in Gmod be included in this? Cuz it does include this very, very often.

Is the Real Life entry for the battleships a square peg, round trope? Battleships aren't technically alive, or even pretend-alive the way robots are in fiction.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry Pratchett
Removed non-example:
- In Metalocalypse, Dethklok's manager Charles Ofdensen has come back from being dead in the second episode of third season.
- Although it's been revealed he just faked his death.
Modified the Dionysus example; the original troper was conflating two versions of the myth. The mainstream myth includes the Mister Seahorse bit: Semele (Dionysus's mortal mother) demands that Zeus prove that he's a god, the light of Zeus's divinity destroys Semele, and Zeus sews the fetal Dionysus into his thigh in order to bring him to term. The Cretan myth involves Dionysus coming back from the dead, but not Semele (who was not actually Dionysus's original mother in this version; Persephone was) being destroyed by Zeus's divinity.
Wouldn't it make more sense for Jesus to be used as the pic for this page? He's a more well known example of someone said to have come back from the dead.
Will this trope ever be possible in real life?
