| First Runner-Up: SIX PEOPLE DIE TRYING TO SAVE CHICKEN; Chicken Escapes Unharmed Six people drowned Monday while trying to rescue a chicken that had fallen into a well in southern Egypt. An 18 year old farmer was the first to descend into the 60-foot well. He drowned, apparently after an undercurrent in the water pulled him down, police said his sister and two brothers, none of whom could swim well, went in one by one to help him, but also drowned. Two elderly farmers then came to help. But they apparently were pulled by the same undercurrent. The bodies of the six were later pulled out of the well in the village of Nazlat Imara, 240 miles south of Cairo. The chicken was also pulled out. It survived. --------------------------------------------------------- Second Runner Up: I Wonder What Grades HE Got in School... A man was crushed to death by a Coke machine from which he was attempting to yank a free soda. So why is this so unique? Apparently, according to police and coroners reports, is that the gentlemen in question had about $3.00 in change and about $25.00 in bills in his pocket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Third Runner Up: Um... Have You Heard of Something Called an IQ? James Burns, 34, of Alamo, Michigan, was killed in March as he was trying to repair what police described as a "farm-type truck." Burns got a friend to drive the truck on a highway while Burns hung underneath so that he could ascertain the source of a troubling noise. Burns' clothes caught on something, however, and the other man found Burns "wrapped in the drive shaft." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fourth Runner Up: Electrifying Stunt Up here in Michigan, seems some poor fella thought it would be a good idea to "move" a downed wire from his car. Newspaper reports it took a FULL MINUTE of neighbors whacking away at him with a 2x4 to free their freshly fried former friend from the fatal flashing. |
