"The discovery of the headless corpses has shocked Togolese and triggered a wave of speculation that the killings were ritual murders. This is a practice still found in parts of Africa in which people kill to obtain body parts and blood in the belief they will bring social success and political power."

"Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding."

And hell, who wouldn't want to bite into a chocolate skull cast from an actual human skull?

There's a restaurant in Beijing that serves more todger than you can shake a stick at. So to speak. There are some.... dubious statements in that article, and one unfortunate picture from the kitchen. The fried thing is bull taint.

A family in India decided their 75 year old grandmother was done, so they took to the dump and left her there. She wasn't dead, they just didn't want her hanging around the house being old anymore. I hope that someday when my family decides to throw me a way, they have the decency to hit me in the head with a rock first.

Unfortunately, they're not edible. No 550 pounds of Calamari for you!

I was hoping for a matched Sid & Nancy set or a Kurt Cobain solitaire, but a Beethoven's not bad either.

Seriously, though. The business end of a firework should never be pointed at your face. Doubly so, if you're lighting it at the time.

Judging from the way the bar moved, I think the most valuable thing in my own corpse is my hair. Maybe you can do better on the Cadaver Calculator.

Ganked from Inky Circus: the CDC's National Injury Mortality Rate Map. (Click on State Injury Map to the left to drill down to the county level, at least visually.) Inky Circus called it "Interactive Death Map" which got my hopes up, dammit.
