Ok, this is definitely freaky but raises so many questions like.. do they not embalm people there? She was already in her coffin? So weird..

It reminds me of a generation(s) ago when it was not uncommon in some places for people to not really be dead but of course to eventually die in the buried coffin. That's terrifying.

Terrifying doesn't even begin to cover it. I always said I wanted a mausoleum. I'll leave money to pay for it but DON'T YOU BURY ME. I might still be kickin'!

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CROSS FREEWAYS IN HOUSTON - I swanee, every time you turn around someone is trying to do so, and someone gets killed. :(

I had a cousin who died trying to cross a freeway. I never met him (he was older) but the story floats around occasionally. His car died on the freeway and the call box was on the other side.

REFUGIO, Texas -- Investigators say a man has died while in the act of raping an elderly South Texas woman.
The Refugio (reh-FYOO'-ree-yoh) County Sheriff's Office identifies the man as 53-year-old Isabel Chavelo Gutierrez. Sheriff's Sgt. Gary Wright says the incident happened June 2 after he rode two miles by bicycle from his home to that of his 77-year-old victim in the tiny coastal community of Tivoli.
He says the 5-feet-7-inches tall, 230-to-250 pound man sneaked into the woman's house and raped her at knifepoint. During the attack, he said he wasn't feeling well, rolled over and died. His body was sent to the Nueces County medical examiner in Corpus Christi for autopsy.
Gutierrez was a registered sexual offender on parole from a sentence for aggravated sexual assault and indecency with a child.

There are religious traditions that do not allow embalming, thus calling for very quick times between death and burial. This is wild but I could see how it happens.

What do y'all think about that giant baby?!

The world's fattest mother: 'My four-year-old is my feeder'

This woman already got into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the heaviest woman to give birth. Now, she's going after the record for the heaviest woman ever. Her goal weight is 457kg, which is over 1000lbs.

She has a web site where people pay to watch her eat. Apparently she's pulling in $90,000/year from this site.

:eek:

On that "Strange Sex" show on TLC I saw a lady whose goal is to become immobile! (The strange sex part is that the husband is turned on by watching his wife eat and by her wait gain!)
