y'know those straws ou get with cartons of juice (with pointed edges)
school kids chew on them during class here....
and once, a kid was sucking on one, whilst swinging on his chair...
the teacher pushed him so he'd stop 'swinging' and the kid slammed into the table (face first)
the straw went straight through to the back of his head...
Kid died ofcourse..
rather disturbing.. after hearing that, I stopped chewing the straws..
ok i will
On March 23, 1994 the medical examiner viewed the
body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from
a shotgun wound to the head.
Mr Opus had jumped from the top of a ten-story
building intending to commit suicide.
He left a note to the effect indicating his
despondency.
As he fell past the ninth floor his life was
interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a
window, which killed him instantly.
Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware
that a safety net had been installed just below
the eighth floor level to protect some building
workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been
able to complete his suicide the way he had
planned.
Ordinarily," Dr Mills continued, "A person who
sets out to commit suicide and ultimately
succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be
what he intended, is still defined as committing
suicide." That Mr. Opus was shot on the way to certain
death, but probably would not have been
successful because of the safety net, caused the
medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide
on his hands.
In the room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun
blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man
and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was
threatening her with a shotgun.
The man was so upset that when he pulled the
trigger he completely missed his wife and the
pellets went through the window striking Mr. Opus.
When one intends to kill subject "A" but kills
subject "B" in the attempt, one is guilty of the
murder of subject "B."
When confronted with the murder charge the old
man and his wife were both adamant and both said
that they thought the shotgun was unloaded. The
old man said it was a long-standing habit to
threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He
had no intention to murder her.
Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be
an accident; that is, if the gun had been
accidentally loaded.
The continuing investigation turned up a witness
who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun
about six weeks prior to the fatal accident.
It transpired that the old lady had cut off her
son's financial support and the son, knowing the
propensity of his father to use the shotgun
threateningly, loaded the gun with the
expectation that his father would shoot his
mother.
Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he
was guilty of the murder even though he didn't
actually pull the trigger.
The case now becomes one of murder on the part of
the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
Now comes the exquisite twist.
Further investigation revealed that the son was,
in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly
despondent over the failure of his attempt to
engineer his mother's murder. This led him to
jump off the ten story building on March 23rd,
only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing
through the ninth story window.
The son had actually murdered himself so the
medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

gas man still rules over all 馃檪 i say, However if you jam a fork into a plug outlet and jump into mid air right while you jam it in, and let go before you hit the groud. You wont get harmed at all.
