You should read this, it's excellent. Clare gave me a book of Darwin award winners (you know, people who perform a service to genetics by killing themselves in a stupid fashion) and this is one of my favourites so far:


A car chase os Sao Paulo was so similar to a Warner Bros cartoon death that it had bystanders laughing out loud. A police car was pursuing a car of gangsters and both began to fire at each other. Suddenly, one of the gangsters had the brilliant idea to throw a grenade at the police car. He pulled the pin, cocked his arm, and in the heat of the chase, he threw the pin out of the car instead of the grenade. The policemen saw the man doing this, and stopped to watch. The hand grenade exploded in the gangster's car, killing him instantly and wounding the other bandits. The laughter of the citizens, the policemen, and the television anchormen was a paean to natural justice.



Now, while I don't know what paean means and I think she rather overdoes the comas, it's still a fine story and well worth printing out and pinning to your wall. Hope you enjoy it.
