some bad news...
Tech worker dies in vat of sulfuric acid
Posted by Natalie Weinstein
A worker at a circuit board factory in Redwood City, Calif., was found dead in a waist-high vat of sulfuric acid over the weekend.
Even more disturbing, the man's body was discovered by his father.
If this hadn't been reported by respectable news agencies, it would have "urban myth" or "bad mafia movie" written all over it.
The news, however, was reported early Sunday by the San Mateo Daily Journal and later expanded by the San Jose Mercury News.
According to the Mercury News, Fernando Jimenez Gonzalez, 18, was working at the Coastal Circuits factory when he apparently passed out from fumes as he dipped circuit boards into a tank for acid copper plating.
When Gonzalez didn't return home from his shift, his father went to search for him. Gonzalez's body was discovered around 2 a.m. Sunday.
A company executive, interviewed by the Mercury News, declined to comment on why police believe Gonzalez wasn't wearing protective gear.
The plant is now closed, according to the Mercury News, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Darwin Award Nominees Announced
Once again, it?s time for the Darwin Award Nominees. The
Darwins are awarded every year to the persons who died in the most
stupid manner, thereby removing themselves from the gene pool.
This year?s nominees are:
Nominee No. 1 [San Jose Mercury News]:
An unidentified man, using a shotgun
like a club to break a former girlfriend?s windshield, accidentally
shot himself to death when the gun discharged, blowing a hole in
his gut.
Nominee No. 2 [Kalamazoo Gazette]:
James Burns, 34, of Alamo, MI, was killed in March as
he was trying to repair what police describe as a "farm-type
truck." Burns got a friend to drive the truck on a highway while
Burns hung underneath so that he could ascertain the source of a
troubling noise. Burns? clothes caught on something, however, and
the other man found Burns "wrapped in the drive shaft."
Nominee No. 3 [Hickory Daily Record]:
Ken Charles Barger, 47, accidentally shot himself to death in
December in Newton, NC. Awakening to the sound of a ringing
telephone beside his bed, he reached for the phone but grabbed
instead a Smith & Wesson 38 Special, which discharged when he drew
it to his ear.
Nominee No. 4 [UPI, Toronto]:
Police said a lawyer demonstrating the safety of windows in a
downtown Toronto skyscraper crashed through a pane with his
shoulder and plunged 24 floors to his death. A police spokesman
said Garry Hoy, 39, fell into the courtyard of the Toronto Dominion
Bank Tower early Friday evening as he was explaining the strength
of the building?s windows to visiting law students. Hoy previously
has conducted demonstrations of window strength, according to police
reports. Peter Lawson, managing partner of the firm Holden Day
Wilson, told the Toronto Sun newspaper that Hoy was "one of the
best and brightest" members of the 200-member association.
Nominee No. 5 [The News of the Weird]:
Michael Anderson Godwin made News of the Weird posthumously. He
had spent several years awaiting South Carolina?s electric chair on
a murder conviction before having his sentence reduced to life in
prison. While sitting on a metal toilet in his cell attempting to
fix his small TV set, he bit into a wire and was electrocuted.
Nominee No. 6 [The Indianapolis Star]:
A cigarette lighter may have triggered a fatal explosion in
Dunkirk, IN. A Jay County man, using a cigarette lighter to check
the barrel of a muzzle loader, was killed Monday night when the
weapon discharged in his face, sheriff?s investigators said.
Gregory David Pryor, 19, died in his parents? rural Dunkirk home at
about 11:30 PM. Investigators said Pryor was cleaning a 54-caliber
muzzle-loader that had not been firing properly. He was using the
lighter to look into the barrel when the gunpowder ignited.
Nominee No. 7 [Reuters, Mississauga, Ontario]:
A man cleaning a bird feeder on the balcony of his condominium
apartment in this Toronto suburb slipped and fell 23 stories to his
death. Stefan Macko, 55, was standing on a wheelchair when the
accident occurred, said Inspector D?Arcy Honer of the Peel Regional
Police. "It appears that the chair moved, and he went over the
balcony," Honer said.
Finally, THE WINNER!!!: [Arkansas Democrat Gazette]:
Two local men were injured when their pickup truck left the road
and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early
Monday. Woodruff County deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident
shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and
Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock, were returning to Des Arc
after a frog catching trip. On an overcast Sunday night, Poole?s
pickup truck headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded that
the headlight fuse on the older-model truck had burned out. As a
replacement fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the .22
caliber bullets from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box
next to the steering-wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet the
headlights again began to operate properly, and the two men
proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge. After
traveling approximately 20 miles, and just before crossing the
river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged, and struck
Poole in the testicles. The vehicle swerved sharply right, exiting
the pavement, and striking a tree.
Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident,
but will require extensive surgery to repair the damage to his
testicles, which will never operate as intended. Wallis sustained
a broken clavicle and was treated and released.
"Thank God we weren?t on that bridge when Thurston shot
his balls off, or we might both be dead," stated Wallis.

I think the electric chair one is pretty funny. Although the winner was the funniest, I'm going to go with Auslander with that one.

that episode of mythbusters was about a man getting shot during the american civil war, not about Thurston Poole getting shot. 1 episode that is wrong is the 1 about being sucked down with a sinking ship like the titanic. they used a boat that weighed about 25 plus tons when the titanic is about 35,000 tons & a lot bigger then the boat they used. they should get approval the next time the us navy does a sinkex to see if their test dummy gets sucked down when a big ship sinks.

Undignified Deaths
A Lake Charles, La., man was killed in August by a single gunshot, which was explained by Sheriff Tony Mancuso: "(The man and his girlfriend) were engaged in consensual sexual behavior involving a firearm when the firearm was discharged, resulting in his death." [KPLC-TV (Lake Charles), 8-2-07]
A 60-year-old female rancher was killed in August in Mitchell, Australia, when a 10-month-old male camel (recently arrived as a birthday gift for the woman) apparently mistook her for a female camel, knocked her to the ground, and lay on top of her in what one camel expert said "no doubt" was "sexual" behavior, crushing her with his 330 pounds. [CBS News-AP, 8-19-07]
In August, Tony Martinez, 54, was arrested in Perris, Calif., on several charges in connection with the death of a motorcyclist, whose body was lodged in Martinez's rear window as he drove home. [KPIX-TV (San Francisco)-AP, 8-28-07]
Verle Dills, 60, was arrested in Sioux Falls, S.D., in July after police found numerous homemade videos of Dills having sex in public with "traffic signs." [Sioux Falls Argus Leader, 8-1-07]

I remember that!
We had a disabled vet who had lost his left leg in combat. He was a musician who played guitar, piano and especially the organ. His house was robbed and they must have had a truck as they stole a rather large and expensive Hammond C-3. The next day, my hometown newspaper ran the story with the headline "Thief Steals Amputee's Organ"! Leave it to my dear home town!

Anyway, my bitch of today:
I find a website that provided what looked to be decent hosting. Its $70/year for the hosting but if you fill out some surveys and such they give it to you for free because they make more then $70 off the surveys.
Anyway, I tried uploading a shopping cart and because "Safe Mode" is enabled it won't work. I can get it enabled but only if I send the company a copy of my picture ID and a reason why it needs removed.
Even then they may not remove it and they will only send a reply by snail mail.
Peace

The North Carolina one is an Urban Myth, the .22 is also a myth, reported on Mythbusters and of course tried by yours truly many years ago. Cooking a .22 rimfire cartridge will only cause a loud band, the cartridge will ruptyre, but the bullet will not travel very far at all, like maybe an inch or so. The gas doesn't build up enough pressure to accelerate the bullet at all. One needs a confined space to generate velocity and pressure.
