If these things happen in twos (they never happen in threes, I checked) this could be a bad omen for Tin Tin, Rin Tin Tin, Tin Tin Out, Tin Machine, or Wu Tang Clan, and it's all Because of Winn Dixie.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted March 11, 2008 Michael Todd, the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, has been found dead in the Snowdonia National Park. Apparently, he once volunteered to be shot by a taser, to demonstrate it's safety. I wonder if being hit by 50,000 volts had in some way affected him...

The last par [well, penultimate if you count the "he is survived by... etc"]: Burke was an avid runner who competed in five New York City Marathons and three Boston Marathons, his son said. But later in life he rode his bike quite a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
