What a way to go
« on: May 24, 2021, 11:23:16 AM »
Some guy in Spain got himself killed trying to retrieve his cell phone from a papier-mache statue:

https://metro.co.uk/2021/05/24/mans-body-found-upside-down-in-dinosaur-statue-after-he-fell-in-getting-phone-14634965/

I mean, we all gotta go someday but wow, what a stupid way to go. The linked article has the best photo of the statue I've found so far. I can't figure out how he even got himself in there.

It was paper mache.  If the guy had a knife or multi-tool on him, perhaps he could have cut himself out.

The statue has now been removed from where it stood outside the Cubic Building.

I hate it when innocent critters are punished because people make silly mistakes.

No, that's when Dr. John Hammond had some containment problems.

Did I talk about the Barney Blast back on TFL/THR? We had a fair group show up, and... A gallon jug of B'Harni Blood (grape kool aid) is absolutely atomized when hit with a 12 gauge deer slug. You can taste the grape in the air.

That was a Doom mod that changed some of monsters to Barney singing I Love You. The Monty Python mod was a riot.
