I am sorry. I really am sorry that I laughed so hard. At what you ask? Well at the article my husband just showed me.
A 63-year-old pensioner drowned in a puddle (link to the German article). What is certainly a very tragic accident and incredibly sad for everyone that knew him, is certainly so odd that it almost deserves a Darwin Award.
I mean imagine you go for a walk, trip and land face-down in a puddle where the last breath you take is some muddy rain water. Tragic yet really, really funny.

My uncle had a stroke when he was walking alone and somehow, he tripped into a canal. There are open canals everywhere in the Philippines and the water is usually black dirty. I was told he was soaking wet with the dirty water and I laughed when I heard about it though I didn't see him. I got worried about him too but ya know, it's still funny how he ended up there. He was ok btw.
Poor guy! Bizarre story with lots of "big words"! :) LOL
My brain is still on fire from work so I didn't have the patience to translate it as thoroughly as I usually do. :)
I always love when you link up to the original German articles when you can; I always click them.

I still can't get over the balloon priest. He's currently #1 on the Darwin site.

Wow, and it never occurred to him to turn his head or anything? What a way to go!
