Hmm. The article doesn't say how old he was, but he could be a contender for the scrabble thread and possibly the only entrant so far to have been killed by a wild animal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dufourmantelle entered the water after the children got into difficulty in strong winds at Pampelonne beach, near St Tropez, on Friday. The two children were later rescued by lifeguards and were unharmed. (So a DOUBLE Irony!) SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man dies after taking pin out of a grenade for a photo! I was suspicious at first, but apperantly there are (rather gorey) pictures of the aftermath of this imbecility. Still wonder if he manage to upload the photo after the pin was out, as the screenshot suggets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still think that it's a parental role rather than the council's to drill into the kids not to go playing in the crumbling public access graveyard, in the same way you'd tell them not to play near the railway line or motorway within 2 minutes walk, tbh.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 22, 2018 A North Carolina coyote hunter’s electronic coyote caller was apparently so convincing, he ended up being mistaken for a coyote and was shot and killed. The victim, 26-year-old Michael Seth Marsh, was also the pastor of Russell Gap Baptist Church near Taylorsville. The alleged shooter, 31-year-old Matthew Dunn of Taylorsville, was charged with involuntary manslaughter. GDamn rednecks. Show of hands how many knew a 'coyote caller' existed?
