> Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section
of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased
male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his
back, flippers, and face mask. A post-mortem test revealed that the man
died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental records
provided a positive identification. Investigators then set about to
determine how a fully clad diver ended up in the middle of a forest
fire. It was
> revealed that on the day of the fire, the man went diving off the
coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters, seeking to
control the fire as quickly as possible, had called in a fleet of
helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean
and emptied at the site of the forest fire. You guessed it. One minute
our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next, he was doing
the breaststroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air. Some days it
just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

> A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in
the kitchen. While racing the engine, the motorcycle accidentally
slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was
dragged along as it burst through the glass patio doors. His wife,
hearing the crash, ran in the room to find her husband cut and bleeding,
the motorcycle, and the shattered patio door. She called for an
ambulance and, because the house sat on a fairly large hill, went down
the several flights of stairs to meet the paramedics and escort them to
her husband. While the attendants were loading her husband, the wife
managed to right the motorcycle and push it outside. She also quickly
blotted up the spilled gasoline with some paper towels and tossed them
into the toilet. After being treated and released, the man returned
home, looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his
motorcycle. He went into the bathroom and consoled himself with a
cigarette while attending to his business. About to stand, he flipped
the butt between his legs. The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a
loud explosion and her husband screaming. Finding him lying on the
bathroom floor with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks,
legs and groin, she once again phoned for an ambulance. The same
paramedic crew was dispatched. As the paramedics carried the man down
the stairs to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to burn
himself. She told them. They started laughing so hard, one slipped,
tipping the stretcher and dumping the husband out. He fell down the
remaining stairs, breaking his arm.

him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of
wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had! been
happily listening to his Walkman.

pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand
pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence stampeding madly.
The two hopeless protesters were trampled to death.
