 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?"
Bullet Man (William Milton): "What do you mean?"
Doctor: "You've got a bullet in your head."
Bullet Man: "Eh? What do you mean?"

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.

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 person went for a diving trip off the coast some 20 miles away from the forest.  The firefighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets.  Water was dipped from the ocean then flown to the forest fire and emptied.

One minute the diver was swimming peacefully in the Pacific, the next he was sloshing around in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air. And seconds later he was dropped from a height onto the fire.
