In the news this week...

If you haven't visited News of the Wierd by now, you don't know what you're missing out on! Here is a recap of some of this week's gems...
(A note: for those of you who live in Washington, you can obtain this weekly when you grab a copy of the Washington City Paper, a local free publication i highly reccomend!)
A 44-year-old man was crushed to death by a slow-moving tractor-trailer when he jumped underneath it to get the reportedly "well-worn" baseball cap that the wind had just blown off his head (Lethbridge, Alberta, November). And a 55-year-old man died of a heart attack, most likely, said the police, during or moments after stabbing his wife numerous times in a domestic altercation (Keene, N.H., December). And a 23-year-old man was hit by a subway car at New York City's 34th Street station when he leaned over the tracks to see the oncoming train, not realizing that it was coming from the other direction (December; the last press report available said the man was in critical condition).
