I'll email you the whole, shitty story. Right now I'm off to find a decent meal and some fucking wine goddamn it! At least I had good luck (of a sort) shopping for Jean today at Printemps...

You can't make this stuff up.

Several affected persons reported that the brownies had a medicine-like aftertaste or smell; however, all six affected persons ate an entire brownie.

"...the teacher who had shared the brownies had purchased them from a sidewalk vendor for a church fundraiser..."

I'm converting to that church. Where do I sign up?
 
There is a special VLM edition of the MMWR this week:

Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance United States, 2009

The Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System monitors six categories of priority health-risk behaviors among youth and young adults:
1) behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence; 2) tobacco use; 3) alcohol and other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; 5) unhealthy dietary behaviors; and 6) physical inactivity. It also monitors the prevalence of obesity and asthma and includes a national school-based Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) conducted by CDC and state and local school-based YRBSs conducted by state and local education and health agencies. This report summarizes results from the 2009 national survey, 42 state surveys, and 20 local surveys conducted among students in grades 912.

There is something about the power of a brownie. Even if they taste like shit people will still eat them because they are brownies.

re: the orignal post, Cincinnati Bengal player Chris Henry died while he was on the back of his wife's truck. Don't think it was surfing though. Just a domestic dispute gone awry.

It was later ruled a suicide, I believe.

Really, how? His wife was driving away and he fell off the truck and died. How is that suicide?

My bad -- it was merely suggested by several news agencies that it might have been suicide on the basis of comments he allegedly made immediately before getting onto the truck. That bastion of news reporting, Fox News, gives us the basic story.

Dietary edition.

Behavioral factors that led patients in this report to eat raw or undercooked crayfish included alcohol consumption, dares, and demonstration of survival skills. Eight of the nine patients were males.

Excellent. I was disappointed that I couldn't find anything on exploding turkeys in deep fryers on Thanksgiving. Maybe that's under appliance mishaps?

Hey, mine was an honest to noodle anaphylaxis. No dares involved (although Bourbon was).
