Nasty but interesting.....

[Warthog]

In absence of Gene C. I am forced to keep you uninformed people updated

Check this short story out: http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/05/31/com....ap/index.html

I think that this is very sick but sorta.....funny in a way. I think it's my very strange sense of humor coming into play....

P.S. - To clear things up, I don't think that it's "funny" to see someone die, just thought it was interesting to see the weird way the person died.

What happened to Gene? Anyways kinda a irony and i wanna say she got what she deserved but thats kinda harsh since I dont know ALL the details, and will take some **** from the board for it.

Warthog, you crack me up. That seems a little iffy on the dumpster though. As far as GeneC. goes, never, never count him out. He's probably out for a little hike, probably a hundred miles or so. . Anyone heard from him lately or Apostle 83?

LOL, wait for that story to appear in this year's Darwin Awards!!

they will be in contention with the Filipino parachute hijacker....

General Jose Lachica said soldiers had recovered what was believed to be the remains of Mr Lakandula in a heavily forested area in the town of Real, about 70km (40 miles) east of the capital, Manila.

His body was found with the improvised parachute...

...A police officer told the DZMM radio station that the man had landed so hard that his body was buried in mud, with only his knees and hands protruding.

i was reading about the compactor death here and i just would like to say you wouldn't believe how some people pass on.Im a firefighter in new york city and i have seen something very similar to what you wrote and then some........enjoy your everyday cause ya never know!.....be well and happy!

[krusty the klown]

Hehe, that will be a close contest, but I reckon the hijacker wins

Now if the family is smart, they'll sue the store and be set for life. Not that it's the way it should be, but wait and see. They'll say that nobody should be able to get into the trash compactor in the first place.

[hd581]

Noctrl, I just bet they will. People will sue for anything these days. Bugs me how the court systems let people get away w/ ridiculous things like that.

[Idnew]

I think they should sue. What if an innocent child playing had got in there? Wouldn't be so funny then.

[hd581]

You may be just trolling but for the benefit of those who actually do believe they should sue:

What if an innocent child playing had got in there?

Most likely, it would get crushed. May I point out, with stress on the word innocent, that this case is a little different than the shoplifter situation. There is no reason to make breaking the law a safe venture.

While I do agree there should be more safety in that device, I don't think the family has a right to sue.

[ILC]

That shouldnt sue! If they sue, someone should sue the family back for 5 times more then the family sued for in the first place. This sueing **** is getting rediculous! Now I do think that the compactor shouldnt turn on by weight, but its definetly NOT sue worthy, especially since it was a shoplifter!

By the way did any of you all here about the thief who fell through a sky light of a house he was trying to rob, landed ona knife on the counter and sued the owner of the house? What the heck is that?!?!

ILC - That skylight story is from the movie "Liar Liar"

IMHO, ... Justice!
Too bad the legal system can't be as swift. A revolving-door, judicial system, is a downward spiral.
