I really shouldn't laugh, but....


Someone dies and I laugh. I'm going to hell....


From The Sun online:
"A WOMAN cutting grass on a canal bank drowned after being dragged into the water by her LAWNMOWER.

Volunteer conservationist Cicely Greenslade, in her 60s, is believed to have tripped and lost control of the machine at Easington, Glos.

The mum of two spent most of her free time working with the Cotswold Canals Trust.

A spokesman said: “She was a dear friend and a committed helper.”

Mrs Greenslade and husband Henry moved to Stonehouse, Glos, from Devon because of their love of the county’s extensive canals."

C'mon, you know you pictured it and chuckled a little. Right?

In other news...

This from Newsday.com
"NEW YORK -- A man accused of biting the head off his pet rooster was arrested Friday and faces up to a year in prison if convicted, an animal protection spokesman said.

A neighbor had complained about a dead rooster near his Manhattan apartment and agents found the body of the beheaded rooster on a fire escape, said Joe Pentangelo, spokesman for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The rooster's head was not located. Humberto Rodriguez, 52, told agents that he bit the rooster's head off because he blamed it for injuring a pet pigeon that he also kept in the apartment, Pentangelo said.

Rodriguez is charged with animal cruelty and could face up to a year in prison if convicted. It is also illegal to possess a live rooster in New York City, Pentangelo said.

Pentangelo said Friday night he did not know whether Rodriguez had a lawyer."

You know, if one of my dogs went crazy and killed the other dog, I would be hurt, pissed, etc. Can't say I would literally bite their head off...

I pray all the time that I don't end up dead because of something stupid I had done. Guess, some folks have to go that way, though.

Did Jenn send you that news clip of the dwarf in like, Malaysia, or somewhere, who got swallowed by a hippotamus when he accidentally got thrown into it's mouth? They said the hippo swallowed him due to the gag reflex.

You REALLY gotta watch it out there, people! BE CAREFUL!
