"entertainer at Club Risque"? Probably not a standup comic. Cell phone related deaths are on the rise.

If the story is to be believed, it’s a Darwin Award. She dropped her phone where she couldn’t reach it, tried go get it, lost balance and fell.

Not too many years ago, I remember reading about a guy who was watering hanging plants on the balcony of a high rise apartment, standing on a chair with rollers.

Chair shifted, opps...

I once placed an extension ladder on the bottom of a raised industrial-sized garage door at the side of a quanset-style structure. I climbed the ladder a good 12 feet and as I reached the top... well, my weight on the ladder pushed the raised garage door just a little bit further in... Opps.

I have an irrational fear of heights so it takes serious effort for force me within three feet of a balcony edge. Or even close to one of those floor to ceiling windows that are so popular in some modern buildings.

I live on the third floor of an apartment building and that is right at my limit. Never climb higher than you are willing to fall... good advice I plan to take for as long as I live.

Call me cynical, but the woman who fell to her death while doing leg stretches at 1am? Really, people? You believe she was doing leg stretches? And now this, a stripper (and probably more), visiting a man's apartment at 4am (wink wink), bending over to find her phone and falls to her death..? Really, people? Think, people think!!!

"In 2010, Vo was sentenced to five years’ probation and 150 hours of community service after she pleaded guilty to attempting to extort money from a Gladwyne businessman whom she had secretly recorded having sex."

Strip club. I used to commute past this spot when they were building these condos. From some angles, it looks like a ship docked at Penn’s Landing.

It's a risky profession. Remember the stripper who died last year doing a lap dance in a bar, doing something funky with her legs and then flipping over the balcony on her head?

...and another from last Thursday. The trash compactor at his apartment complex ate him.

Later on Friday police towed two cars from the building. They are awaiting autopsy and toxicology results.

What? Who is writing these articles?

The coroner is going to have to use some good metal cutting tools to perform the autopsies on those two cars.
