Man Suffocates in Rabbit Hole
New Zimbabwe ^ | 10/15/2010

Posted on 10/16/2010 3:21:21 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A HUNTER died after squeezing his head into a rabbit hole and suffocating. Energy Kamuruko was out tracking with dogs when he noticed a rabbit dart into a tunnel near the village of Mandipaka in Nyanga.

The 20-year-old peered inside but his head got stuck. His body was found the following day by a neighbour.

A postmortem confirmed he died on Sunday of asphyxiation.

It is the second hunting-related accidental death in recent months.

In August, Tamsen Lucius, 36, impaled himself on his own spear while chasing wild pigs. Police said he had climbed a tree to try and get a better angle with his weapon after tracking a herd of the animals in the bush.

But he died instantly after losing his footing and impaling himself through the chest.

Hunting remains common across rural parts of Zimbabwe, where many people continue to live traditional lifestyles.

I find it interesting that the first names of these two hunters, while unusual, are not as bizarre/ridiculous as some of our citizens who glory in their “African-ness”.

"I am guessing these terrible accidents happened in the country formerly known as Rhodesia."

I believe you're right. And, wasn't that country founded and brought to civilization by one Cecil Rhodes? Sadly, the people of Rhodesia abandoned "civility" and returned to tribalism. Now they are sticking their heads into rabbit holes and suffocating. Cecil Rhodes wouldn't approve of that.

Which is why you always place your spear on SAFE before carrying it.

Merely a local peon following 'traditional lifestyles' It's totalitarian mindspeak writ in code.

Properly translated this sentence should read;

1) local peasants starving to death in the bossum of Robert Mugabe's worker's paradise.

2) routine sexual relations with the comely female monkees,or a Go-rillasm, so all of human-kide can experience the AIDS virus.

3) In conclusion, we can observe the ultimate expression of a reverse 'bell culve' demonstrating the reverse genetic expression of the human genome; Barrack Hussein Obama the savior.

“impaled himself on his own spear”

Energy Kamuruko was out tracking with dogs
Obviously the dogs had a real sense of humor. This guy had this coming just from that idiotic name.

If I can put my head in it...I can pull my head out of it. I may leave some scalp, eyebrow, and ear behind...but if I’m suffocating my head is coming out one way or another.
