This page is the original that was posted up in 1998 and updated in 2002, it desperately needs to be updated again but there are so many of these type of stories on the net now, I probably wont bother! Left here for prosperity. July-14th-2011 MEDICAL MIRACLE A New York man has discovered that - without knowing it - he has had a bullet lodged in his skull for a quarter-century. The New York Post reports the following exchange between the man - William Adrian Milton, 59, "a writer and prominent dachshund fancier" - and his doctor, which took place after he had a brain scan because of head aches that he was having. Doctor: " Who shot you
in the head? " Once more the doctor repeated" Well you have a bullet, lodged in your head. " Mr Milton - who is the organiser of the annual Dachshund Oktoberfest in New York - later remembered an incident in 1976 when blood started spurting from his head, apparently for no reason. He had assumed he had been hit by debris of some sort falling from a building site, and ignored it. But in fact he had been shot in the head. He has decided to let the bullet remain nestled in his skull. ---------------------------------------------------- MORBID MYSTERY 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 revealed that the person died not from burns, but from massive
internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive identification. ---------------------------------------------------- The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both. ---------------------------------------------------- Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn Germany. Suddenly the pigs, all two thousand of them, escaped through a broken fence and stampeded, trampling the two hapless protesters to death. ---------------------------------------------------- Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with return to sender stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, it is believed that he opened it and was blown to bits. ---------------------------------------------------- A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his arm in two places. Until that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman. ----------------------------------------------------
The female monkey above is a pet that was bought from an animal trader at a shop in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, May 9, 2002. The monkey, "adopted" the puppy recently and spends many happy hours hugging it, in fact it spends all of its time hugging it and is reluctant to ever let go of the little puppy. The hunting and selling of monkeys are prohibited under Bangladesh laws but they are seldom enforced. ---------------------------------------------------- In New York, 1977, A dopey Hijacker boarded a plane and threatened the crew that he would shoot the pilot unless the plane was flown to Detroit.
