Thanks to a
friend in Portsmouth, England, when Jesus returns for the second
coming, He'll have enough money for a sports car and a condo in Palm
Springs. Mr. Ernest Digweed died sixteen years ago and left his
entire estate to Jesus Christ. He instructed the State Trustee Office
to invest his money in government bonds, guaranteeing Jesus a total
yield of $615,820 by the end of the century. Digweed's heirs are
contesting the will, and have offered an unusual solution: an
insurance policy in the same amount payable to Jesus upon his return.
Since then, another problem has cropped up. Two individuals, each
insisting that he is Jesus reborn, have filed claims for the money... |

[Unknown, 25
March 1993] A Vapid Death A terrible diet and room with no
ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man who was killed by
his own gas. There was no mark on his body but autopsy showed large
amounts of methane gas in his system. His diet had consisted
primarily of beans and cabbage (and a couple other things). It was
just the right combination of foods. It appears that the man died in
his sleep from breathing from the poisonous cloud that was hanging
over his bed. Had he been outside or had his windows opened it
wouldn't have been fatal but the man was shut up in is near airtight
bedroom. He was "...a big man with a huge capacity for creating
[this deadly gas]." Three of the rescue workers got sick and one
was hospitalized. |

Former Khmer
Rouge guerrilla consulted a local witch doctor to help his two sick
children. Not surprisingly, the Doc was unable to do anything and the
children died. To add insult to injury, the guerrilla's sister then
got ill. Unfortunately, the legal system in Phnom Penh isn't quite as
litigious as the US, so suing for millions wasn't even an option.
Therefore the man opted for simple murder and cannibalism, for after
killing the witch doctor, he ate his liver!
A senior
military official, General Bun Seng, said that He killed the
magic doctor and cut out and cooked his liver because he was very
angry. Seng went on to say that The soldier had been on a
human rights course but he still didn't understand the concept. |

Drug-possession
defendant Christopher Johns, on trial in March in Pontiac, Michigan,
said he had been searched without a warrant. The prosecutor said the
officer didn't need a warrant because a "bulge" in
Christopher's jacket could have been a gun. Nonsense, said
Christopher, who happened to be wearing the same jacket that day in
court. He handed it over so the judge could see it. The judge
discovered a packet of cocaine in the pocket and laughed so hard he
required a five-minute recess to compose himself. |

LOS ANGELES,
CA. Ani Saduki, 33, and his brother decided to remove a bees' nest
from a shed on their property with the aid of a pineapple. A
pineapple is an illegal firecracker which is the explosive equivalent
of one-half stick of dynamite. They ignited the fuse and retreated to
watch from inside their home, behind a window some 10 feet away from
the hive/shed. The concussion of the explosion shattered the window
inwards, seriously lacerating Ani. Deciding Mr. Saduki needed
stitches, the brothers headed out to go to a nearby hospital. While
walking towards their car, Ani was stung three times by the surviving
bees. Unbeknownst to either brother, Ani was allergic to bee venom,
and died of suffocation en-route to the hospital. |

San
Francisco Chronicle. Claiming to be a 2000-year-old vampire,
Rudiger has been found guilty of second-degree murder for the killing
of a homeless woman. Rudiger told the court that he needed to drink
human blood on a regular basis in order to survive. He said that
Prey is prey and pleaded guilty to four other knife
attacks on homeless people, mainly in the Chinatown area.
Not
surprisingly, Rudiger has a history of mental illness. In the past,
he has not only claimed to be a vampire but a samurai soldier and a
ninja warrior, both of which are unlikely to be true. He spent a
6-month spell in a mental hospital in 1997 following a bow-and-arrow
attack on one of his friends. |

In FRANCE,
Jacques LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he decided to commit
suicide. He stood at the top of a tall cliff and tied a noose around
his neck. He tied the other end of the rope to a large rock. He drank
some poison and set fire to his clothes. He even tried to shoot
himself at the last moment. He jumped and fired the pistol. The
bullet missed him completely and cut through the rope above him. Free
of the threat of hanging, he plunged into the sea. The sudden dunking
extinguished the flames and made him vomit the poison. He was dragged
out of the water by a kind fisherman and was taken to a hospital,
where he died of hypothermia. |
