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.

It wasn’t I.

The dog put the cat fud in the dryer, and put up the signs. (The Far Side)

More than likely a bird as you surmised.
Which bird gets more difficult.
Unless you can spot the little blighter, you are stuck to guessing at best.

Depending on part of the day, it could be a mourning dove, or it could be one of several owls.
Or a “Chuck-wills-widow”, yet another nightjar bird that seems to have regional variations in the call it makes.
Here in my area we had one [way far away from where it was supposed to be from what I guess] that sounded like it was saying ‘Wheee-ooo-whee-ooo-wheee-ooo’ instead of the usual noise.
Sounded like a ‘grumpy old lady wrapped in a shawl and muttering’ pretty much.

Common Nighthawks aren’t so common in my area, but whip-poor-wills are.
So when I saw the bird, I initially thought it was a Whip-poor-will.
And then it got bored with me loking at it, and the person with the camera was too annoying in their approach, so it flew off.
A little bit later we heard the “Peent!” and the buzzing noises.

wasn't skerry in Vietnam? Elvis served Honorably, and my thought is this. If I had the choice between Elvis or skerry or any other democRAT for President, and that was my choice; I know for whom, I would pull the lever for, easily.

Since you were around the area of the dnc convention. Did you hear their squeals when they could not fill the stadium? Heard there was gnashing of teeth, and much screaming and yelling. Heard zer0 went wild. Moochelle is said to have nearly ate the mayor. Heard it was terrible. Was nowhere near the place. Many many miles away. Gave me peace. See you and yours survived, and this is good. Glad you'all made it.

We are maybe 15 miles from “uptown,” so the DNC didn’t affect us much. I was concerned about traffic on the Thursday, but nothing happened in the areas I needed to travel. It was funny that just as Sean Hannity was saying it wasn’t going to rain in Charlotte that evening, it poured on us! I was going into church for a meeting at 4:00 p.m., with several children, and we got drenched.

I think the “scattered thundershowers” saved face for Obama a little, since weather concerns were their cover story to avoid mentioning the attendance at 20% of what they’d hoped.
