Man Nearly Died by Shipping Himself to Girlfriend (As a Romantic Gesture)
AsiaOne ^ | Tuesday, Sep 04, 2012

A man from Chongqing in Southern China nearly suffocated to death after a romantic gesture to his girlfriend went wrong.

Mr Hu Seng had asked his friend to tape him into a box so he could ship himself via a courier service to his girlfriend, Li Wang.

However, the romantic gesture turned into a life-threatening event for Mr Hu when the courier company mixed up the address with another delivery.

The 30-minute wait turned into a three-hour ordeal for Mr Hu.

The material of the box was reportedly too thick for him to make any breathing holes while inside and he did not want to spoil the surprise by calling for attention.

When the box arrived at Li Wang's place, his friend was poised to record the event.

However, they found Mr Hu unconscious and looking pale upon opening the package.

Subsequently, paramedics were called over to her apartment to revive him.

He admitted, "I didn't realise it would take so long."

The courier company said they would not have accepted this delivery if they had known there was a person inside.

The spokesperson said that even for animals, a special container would be used so they can breathe properly.

“Ducks and Drakes” is simply skipping rocks on a body of water. Presumably, at some point in the past, it involved trying to hit the annoying ducks, “by accident.”

I could do nothing but read dictionaries ...

Back from the Envirothon meeting, where I taught the middle-school team about the water cycle and how erosion and agricultural runoff affect water quality.

We have only a few hummingbirds left, but they’re aggressive.

Yes, we do try to find bizarre stuff.

This time out, we found a guy who was almost a dead on delivery romance fail.

A certain amount of air would have been in the box to start with.

The man is lucky he wasn’t shipped via the US Post Orifice.

And I can attest to that, having had and on-going battle with the local USPS...
