A motor yacht travelling to the Carribean stopped so all the crew could take a swim.Apparently they all jumped in at the same time and had forgotten to put the ladder down so as a result they could not get back on board subsequently they all drowned.
In another story a man took the door off his micro-wave oven when working in a fast-food kiosk to make the whole process quicker using masking tape to mimmick the door closing and within a few months he died from cooking his own kidney.
Last but not least the chef who tried to save his rolex watch which had dropped into the deep fat fryer he instinctivly used his hand to retrieve it and subsequently suffered horrific burns .
Have you got any unusual stories meant to be true?

Well, what happened to me once, I had a fan heater, and I was steaming and conked out in front of the fan heater and it was blasting against my right hip, woke up in the morning finding myself like this, and I had a huge blister on my side. That's all it was.
And it was a working day, so went to work hungover and manager told me to see the nurse across the road, and I had a wee bandage on it, and I have a small red permanent mark on my right hip now. Very trivial. My mate fae work obviously knows about this incident and it was only a fortnight ago, he gave me two stories, one was that he had heard of someone falling asleep in front of a fan heater with the heater blasting his arm, and he woke up to find his arm had been burned to the bone resulting in getting his arm amputated. second, my mates own auntie fell against a mantelpiece above a fireplace was rendered unconscious whilst the roaring fire was burning her head, i.e. she was being roasted alive, and the uncle came in the house only to find a perfect body but with a skull instead of a head are these 2 stories plausible?? |

unlikely, especially the kidney one after all, we have 2 and we can function perfectly with just 1
and don't boats have life-rings, to make sure people don't drown? after all, a person can wear one, and you can probably have 3 people holding onto them on the outside at the same time |

The gnome that got nicked and then went travelling the world with pictures and post-cards being sent back to the gnomes owner from all over the place and then he was returned after a few months away. True, can easily be done. |

the fireplace,skull one is plausable,research into spontaneous combustion victims have been solved by such accidents,the body tends to burn slowly in very small contained area

I can believe both the yacht one and the kidney one.As far as the life rings are concerned they are all located on board the vessel which makes it impossible to retrieve them from the water.

I suppose that one can be plausible but I bet it wasn't my mate's aunty!

By:
I can believe the kidney one because there are many daft people out there and i`d imagine the micro wave oven would still be able to heat the food item concerned.Apparently it was a realy small space and it was alot easier if the door was removed.

A German couple in their 50s took their old car to a scrap yard. They parked, completed the paperwork, but got back in the car to shelter from a sudden squall of rain. "The driver of the crane was told to process their car", said a police investigator. "He did so without realizing that the couple were sitting inside again." The car was grabbed by the crane's steel claws and dropped in the crusher, which normally reduces cars to a small cube. It was stopped when the crane driver heard the woman's screams, but it was too late to save her husband. The crane driver was hospitalized for shock, but was expected to be charged with "negligent manslaughter". Daily Mail 14 April 1997

Consenza, Italy - Stag party friends were curious when a stripper failed to jump out of a huge cake. Assuming she was no longer in there, they received a nasty surprise when they found her dead inside it. Gina Lalapola, 23, had suffocated after waiting for an hour inside the sealed cake.

The Daily Record is a terrible newspaper and often falls for silly stories
their "reporters" are very incompetent and often get stories from the internet rather than go out and get their own stories |
