Seven men die in septic tank rescue. I think we can all agree that this stinks. Wouldn't you stop sending relatives in after a certain point? Say, somewhere around dead man number three or four?

Seven die in rural septic tank rescue

From correspondents in Cairo, September 19, 2007 08:09pm

SIX Egyptian men died one after another as they descended into a rural septic tank in a failed attempt to rescue a 17-year-old who had entered the tank to fix a drainage problem, security sources and a family member said.

The youth, Ayman Mohamed Gumaa, also died yesterday after he succumbed to fumes and fell into sludge at the bottom of the tank in the village of Rifa near the southern city of Assiut, the sources said.

Gumaa's mother, Zeinab Mohamed Ali, said she had sent her son into the tank because water was backing up into the family home, but panicked when he didn't return.

"I called out, Ayman, Ayman, Ayman, but he didn't respond. So I called for his uncle," she said at a municipal hospital where the bodies were taken after the incident.

Security sources said that Gumaa's 45-year-old uncle entered the tank to try to save him, but also succumbed to the fumes.

A neighbour, his brother, another neighbour and his two brothers all proceeded to enter the tank to rescue others in the group. But they all died after exposure to noxious gases in the tank, a health official said.

"They couldn't bear the fumes and they suffocated and died," ms Ali said.

Security sources said civil defence forces later retrieved all seven bodies. They said it was not immediately clear if the men died from exposure to noxious gases in the tank or drowned after possibly losing consciousness.

If septic tanks aren't your thing, how about eleven people being killed at a kite festival. By kites.

World Briefing | Asia: Pakistan: 11 Die In Kite Festival

At least 11 people died in an annual two-day kite festival in Punjab Province. Officials said two died after their throats were cut by kite strings made of wire, used to damage rival kites. Five died after being hit by celebratory gunshots, and two people were electrocuted trying to untangle kites from overhead power cables. Two others fell from roofs. The police arrested more than 700 people for using sharpened kite strings or firing guns. The authorities had temporarily lifted a ban on kite-flying that was imposed after deaths at last year's festival.

Indeed.

Why would you think after the sixth guy went in and succumbed to the fumes and died that you would be the exception???

Next time one of my relatives falls into a septic tank I'm lowering a rope in and tying it to a tree. If he gets out alive I'll show him the story and let him know I'm not quite as suicidal as those seven Egyptian men.

Addendum to the death edition:

Man urinates on dying woman and covers her with shaving cream, shouting, "This is YouTube material!"

Man admits urinating on ill woman

A Hartlepool man is facing jail after he urinated on a disabled woman who lay dying in the street.

The 27-year-old shouted "this is YouTube material" as he degraded Christine Lakinski, 50, who had fallen ill, magistrates heard.

Miss Lakinski, who suffered a number of medical conditions, died from natural causes, an inquest found.

Anthony Anderson, of Raby Road, who admitted outraging public decency, will be sentenced at Teesside Crown Court.

Hartlepool magistrates heard how, on 27 July, Miss Lakinski was making her way home with a box of laminate flooring when she fell ill and stumbled into a doorway.

Anderson had smoked a cannabis joint and been drinking when he and two friends spotted her.

He tried to rouse her by throwing a bucket of water over her, before urinating on her and covering her with shaving foam. The incident was filmed on a mobile phone.

She was later declared dead at the scene, the cause of death being given as pancreatic failure.

Lynne Dalton, prosecuting, said: "Although his actions did not contribute to her death it was appalling behaviour that robbed her of any dignity in the last hours of her life."

She urged magistrates to transfer the case to crown court for sentencing, claiming their maximum powers were insufficient.

Anderson's solicitor did not oppose the application and his client will be sentenced at Teesside Crown Court on 22 October.

After Wednesday's hearing, Miss Lakinski's brother, Mark, said: "We will await the outcome and just hope he gets what he deserves."

Seven men die in septic tank rescue.

Didn't something like 11 Egyptians die a year or two ago trying to rescue a goat or chicken that fell into a well? As I recall the animal got out alive. You have to admire the determination, but it seems a little more forethought is required than appears to be given in these rescue situations.

I remember reading about that in the Darwin Awards at some point.

I guess it has to be pretty horrible to watch your kinsmen succumb to a septic tank, but I wouldn't have tried to do anything for the chicken without help from the authorities and I think after the second or third guy dies pretty much anyone should get the idea that the septic tank means business.

Looks as though Marcia Brady and Jan Brady had a little thing going on. Yikes!

'Brady Bunch' Star Reveals All About Lesbian Fling With TV Sister?

Wholesome former The Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick is set to reveal the beloved 70s TV series' most shocking secret in a new book - she and her on-screen sister had a lesbian fling.

McCormick's tell-all, "Here's The Story," won't hit bookstores until 2008, but publishers are already buzzing about the big reveal.

As well as talking candidly about her well-documented eating disorder and drug problems in the book, TV's Marcia Brady will come clean about a romance she had with co-star Eve Plumb, who played her sister Jan on the hit show.

A source tells the National Enquirer, "The most explosive comments will be how the then-blonde, blue-eyed cutie developed a crush on Eve Plumb, which led to some sexual play. This book will certainly come as a shocker. While Maureen is not a lesbian, she reveals there were some sexual hijinks going on behind the scenes. It's bizarre because she played such a virginal character on the show."

Man hides sex toys in the wurst way...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

BERLIN (Reuters) - Staff at a German butcher's shop were shocked to discover a customer had hidden two sex toys in their sausages for transport to Dubai, police said Wednesday.

"It was two latex dildos with a natural look," said a spokesman for police in the southwestern city of Mannheim.

After shopping there earlier in the day, the man, who spoke broken English, returned to the butcher's with two large "Schwartenmagen" sausages. He asked a shop assistant to wrap and cool them until he departed for Dubai the next day.

But the assistant noticed the goods had got heavier and alerted police. Officers discovered the man, who was about 50, had removed some of the meat and packed the dildos inside.

"He could have used a loaf of bread," the spokesman said. "It's not against the law here. But obviously I can't speculate on what customs in Dubai will have to say about it."

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Maybe he was trying to flavor them???

Surely failure to give assistance, as he obviously had a mobile phone that could have been used to call emergency services, could have resulted in the women living. What he deserves is a bullet in the back of the head and his brother can pay the bill.

I just hope that 'karma' helps him find him in the position of the peed on at some point in his life.

Question Number 2
How long did it take for you to realise that there is a McDonalds nearby?

Where there are buns, can a McDonalds be too far away?

As to the question in the image, you stay behind because you don't pass when dangerous curves are ahead.

A safe following distance would be close enough to 1) still see she's wearing a thong, and 2) not be able to avoid a rear-end collision.
