Well possibly, but I didn't see that or don't remember it (see other things I don't remember for even a few hours in the jokes thread...:P) and in any event his link here is to that story not this one so it's still incorrect for the current posting. Ultimately I was hoping for a correction so I could read about the unfortunate golfer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

torbrexbones 717 Posted April 6, 2021 Woman Gets Stuck and Dies in Charity Bin While Dumpster Diving A woman was found dead inside a charity bin in Queensland, Australia on Monday after she became trapped in the opening mechanism while “dumpster diving” for donated items, according to authorities. The 43-year-old woman’s body was discovered by a member of the public who was dropping off clothes outside a shopping centre in Burleigh Heads just after 7AM. She was dangling “half in, half out” of the bin. Police believe the lid to the chute dropped down while she was reaching into the bin, wedging her there—although the exact cause of death is as yet unconfirmed. It is not being treated as suspicious. https://www.vice.com/en/article/4adkmg/woman-gets-stuck-in-charity-bin-dies-dumpster-diving Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Police couldn't say if the aircraft was for skydiving or if it was a small, private plane." In which case one wonders if they are exclusively employing blind policemen in Canada. Here's a picture of the plane. Used for skydiving? Sure, maybe in Narnia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
