Here is my Favorite Part! Strange Headlines! They are True!
Dead Tax
LONDON (Reuters) - A British local authority sent a letter to
a man who died in April to tell him that his tax benefit was
being stopped -- because he was dead.
Lambeth Council in London told cancer victim William
Reynolds that he could appeal against the decision.
"Your council tax benefit has been stopped...because there
has been a change in your circumstances, the change is
because you are dead," the letter said.
"If you think you still qualify for benefit you must contact
this office immediately to obtain a new application form," it
said.
Capita, the company which handles the tax benefits for
Lambeth, expressed its regret at the incident.
"We apologize unreservedly for this...it was an unfortunate,
genuine human mistake," a spokeswoman said.
Suicide Attempt Saved By The Heat
ANKARA (Reuters) - A sizzling heat wave that has killed 12
people in Turkey saved the life of a would-be suicide, a
newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Depressed by marriage problems, Hulya Kirklar stood atop a
cliff near the southern resort town Antalya ready to hurl herself
to her death as police pleaded with her not to jump. After three
hours she fainted in the 111-degree heat and collapsed on the
edge of the precipice, Hurriyet newspaper said.
"Aren't I dead?" she asked when she came to.
