Freshman dies after ‘initiation’ party where students bobbed for apples in urine
By Daniel Hall, The Sun
October 23, 2018

Students bobbed for apples in a mixture of booze and urine as part of a drink-fuelled initiation ceremony where a British student died, an inquest heard.

First-year economics student Ed Farmer, 20, died after being found slumped in a corridor not breathing at the end of a student society’s night out in Newcastle in 2016.

Although he was rushed to the hospital, he died the next day with his parents at his bedside. ...

The inquest continues.

Florida mayor solicited sex for speed bumps, ethics panel finds

David Stewart has been the mayor of Lantana, Florida, since 2000.
Oct. 31, 2018 / 9:20 AM CDT
By Kalhan Rosenblatt

A Florida mayor is accused of soliciting sex from a constituent in exchange for speed bumps, according to the Florida Commission on Ethics and local reports.

In a press release on Oct. 24, the commission found that there was probable cause to find that David Stewart, the mayor of Lantana, Florida, "misused his position to attempt to obtain a sexual benefit for himself."

Stewart solicited sex from a constituent "based on an understanding his vote, official action, or judgment would be influenced," the commission said....

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Applied peanut butter to his crotch so dog would lick his privates.   Wrong result.   Bestiality folks are whack jobs.


Police in Scotland found the man unconscious, in a pool of his own blood
He was taken to hospital but his organs could not be reattached
No one has been charged with any offence which relates to the incident

Rugby player Sam Ballard dies eight years after swallowing slug as dare left him paralysed
Richard Hartley-Parkinson  Monday 5 Nov 2018 6:25 am

A man who ate a garden slug as part of a dare has died. Sam Ballard, 28, became a paraplegic and suffered for eight years after eating the slug at a party when he was 19. He lost his fight for life as a result of medical complications on Friday and his last words to his mother were ‘I love you’.

His friend Jimmy Galvin previously revealed that he swallowed the slug while at a party in 2010. He told The Project: ”We were sitting, having a bit of a red wine appreciation night, trying to act as grown-ups and a slug came crawling across. ‘The conversation came up: “Should I eat it?” off Sam went. Bang. That’s how it happened.’ Within hours he fell seriously ill and it was later discovered that he had been infected with rat lungworm.

MAN FALLS THROUGH CEILING AT WAFFLE HOUSE IN TUSCUMBIA
A 27-year-old from Birmingham, Wesley Glenn Bost, fell through the ceiling at a Waffle House in Tuscumbia Sunday morning.
Posted: Nov. 5, 2018 8:40 PM  Updated: Nov. 5, 2018 9:00 PM   Posted By: Ashley Thusius

A 27-year-old from Birmingham, Wesley Glenn Bost, fell through the ceiling at a Waffle House in Tuscumbia Sunday morning.



Tuscumbia Police say surveillance video shows Bost went into the bathroom, locked himself in and tied his blue jeans to the door. He then climbed into the ceiling and fell through. They said he did a lot of damage to the restaurant and broke the sink and toilet.

After Bost fell through the ceiling, jumped into his car and police chased him. He then left the car and fled on foot. Police are getting warrants on him for the damage caused at the Waffle House.

[Video of him crashing through the ceiling at link...Language Warning -- but it's got classic Waffle House chatter, with even a pregnant woman!]
