They found Brian Dunkleman?

[CJ Wolf]

I wonder if they have had a fire since then.

Santa? Is (or was) that you?

[BJungNan]

Wow, what a horrible situation to find yourself in. There had to be a very clear moment of realization not long after landing on that ledge above the flu that you were going to die there. It would have to dawn on you the minute you were stuck. And then, a long slow death. Terrible.

Jerked burglar.

We may have a Darwin award winner here.

Authorities will now comb through reports of missing persons of the last two years to see whether they can identify the remains.

Bling-Bling Check

That reminds me of the news a couple years ago where they found one who died about 25 years ago. He tried to rob a building and the chimney had been closed off. It was late Friday or early Sat. morning, so nobody could hear him scream.

Another Darwin award winner!

When I was a youngin and sold steam specialties, I called on the Abilene (Texas) State (Mental) Hospital, and the Maintenance Superintendant told a story about the water tasting real bad, and when they finally checked the water tower.

They found a dead body and two skeletons.

Murders in the Rue Morgue. Blame it on the orangutans.
