I know not Greek-related (thankfully), so mods feel free to delete, but illustrates perhaps poor decision making skills on the part of bars/individuals.

More important, someone got killed.

I admit that I'm a sick puppy, but one branch of my family is from Strabane, and I've always said that it's the branch most likely to appear in the Darwin Awards (people who do something so incredibly stupid that they permenantly remove themselves from the gene pool).

Did anyone else notice that it happened in "Scholars Bar"?

What a horrible thing to happen, though, just to prove someone's strength.

That does suck. Not only to die, but to die because you couldnt prove how manly you are in front of europeans...talk about insult to injury.

Sorry but this may be a bit uncaring... but to me it just seems like one less moron in the gene pool...
