Documentary film 'In the Beginning, There Was Light' gave her the idea.
Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger reports that a woman starved to death after embarking on a spiritual diet that required her to stop eating or drinking and live off sunlight alone.
The Zurich newspaper reported Wednesday that the unnamed Swiss woman in her fifties decided to follow the radical fast in 2010 after viewing an Austrian documentary about an Indian guru who claims to have lived this way for 70 years.
Ahh yes! Natural selection! You gotta love it!
... an Indian guru who claims to have lived this way for 70 years.
I saw one going around (pictures included) of a would-be copper thief. He attempted to cut wires from inside a fenced-in electrical substation. Needless to say 13,000 volts can incinerate entire limbs off.
You need to post those here.
Speaking of the Galapagos, is it possible to teleport fddzss321 and all his posts there?
Need to see that happen live on youtube.

Every once in a while one of these stories pops up in the news and I think they deserve some kind of recognition...or at least a place to file them.
I will get it started with this one:

Was her experiment in solar energy funded by the Stymie Administration ?
It's a tossup whether this belongs in the black trash thread or here, but what the hell. Picking two marines to rob probably means it has to go here. Ladies & Gentlemen, today's feel-good story!

A Texas father caught a man sexually assaulting his 4-year-old daughter and punched him in the head repeatedly, killing him, authorities said.
The father was casually acquainted with the alleged abuser, said Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon.
Neither has been publicly identified.
The girl was left inside the family's house during the social gathering, while other members of her family were tending to horses, the sheriff said.
The alleged abuser was known for his horse-grooming abilities, Harmon said.
The father returned to the house, caught the man in the act, and stopped him by striking him in the head several times, Harmon said.
The man was pronounced dead on the scene, while the daughter was taken to a local hospital in Victoria, Texas, for examinations before being released.
The incident took place Saturday.
Harmon described the girl as "OK besides the obvious mental trauma."
Asked whether they would press charges against the father, the sheriff responded, "You have a right to defend your daughter. He acted in defense of his third person. Once the investigation is completed we will submit it to the district attorney who then submits it to the grand jury, who will decide if they will indict him."
Harmon described the dad as "very remorseful," adding that he didn't know the man was going to die.
Authorities were withholding the deceased man's name while they notified next of kin. Officials did not know immediately if he has a prior criminal history.
A man dressed in a military-style “Ghillie suit” who was attempting to provoke a Bigfoot sighting was struck by two vehicles and killed on U.S. 93 South of Kalispell Sunday night.
“He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting,” Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Schneider said.
“You can’t make it up. I haven’t seen or heard of anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him.”
The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office identified the man as Randy Lee Tenley, 44, of Kalispell.
Schneider said Tenley’s motivations were ascertained during interviews with friends who were not in the immediate area but were nearby when the man was struck at about 10:30 p.m.
“Alcohol may have been a factor,” Schneider said. “Impairment is up in the air.”
Tenley was on the southbound side of the highway, about a half mile south of the highway’s intersection with Rocky Point Road.
“He was in the right-hand lane of travel and the vehicle was unable to avoid him and struck him,” Schneider said of the first vehicle driven by a 15-year-old girl from Somers.
A second vehicle driven by a 17-year-old Somers girl also struck Tenley as he laid on the highway.
Too bad the young girls had to be the ones to put that moron out of his misery... ::)

True. You know they'll be haunted by this for a long time. Having to suffer from someone's stupidity. ::gaah::

They killed bigfoot. So what.
Honestly, if I'd driven by I would have gotten the hell out of there.
Honestly, if I'd driven by I would have gotten the hell out of there. Not knowing if there were others I'd want to get my kids safe. I'd call 911 of course and demanding to know why they were so slow and casual in their response if I saw this later.
If drivers saw the cameraman they may have assumed it wasn't real.

Do terrorists wear Blue Bed Sheets?
Oh right, I guess they do - but apparently you get to hold lunch if you do

I'd have been tempted to yell " Mohammad blows dead bears ! " But that's just me . ::evil::

True, but they have the legit overseas look, people here seeing them in authentic garb and real weapons may not generate the appropriate response either...

Everyone in their vehicles knew this was fake. There were not the appropriate number of flies buzzing the head, he didn't smell like chit, the sheet was clean, his nails were manicured as there was no brown substance under the nails. Plus, he was not screaming allah akbar.
Yeah, nothing says "melting pot" to libiots like people who refuse to melt with the pot!

A man was electrocuted after scaling an electricity pylon and performing acrobatics in a drug-induced stunt.
The man, named only as Miguel, swung onto one of high-voltage cables causing a massive explosion before plummeting to the ground in Santiago, Chile.
The moment was caught in a dramatic amateur video filmed by one of the onlookers.
"He made the ultimate sacrifice trying to raise awareness about what was happening to other people," said pal Daniel Lake.

Is it unusual that I have never taken a self-portrait? I mean I do have a picture of me next to my car at about 20 but that was something that my x took. I've never stood in front of a mirror or used one of those insipid sticks to take a picture of myself.
Is that weird or has the world gone weird around me?

And...apparently...he missed lava and just bounced on rock...
Seriously...you want to swan-dive into a volcano...how about hitting lava? ::facepalm::
Yeah. And now you can kiss those picturesque photo opportunities goodbye...
Who wants to have a pic at a national park with a "Warning: Volcano-jumpers will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!" sign?
