Dear Pal
One of the possible divisions of mankind is into feeling people (who tend to view life as a tragedy) and thinking people (who tend to view life as a comedy.) Your reaction to this news item would be a good indicator of which camp you belong in.
Attached is a news item that appeared in The Fresno Bee yesterday (Mon, Dec 4, 2006.) It's of a bizarre and horrific nature, so read no further if you're squeamish. I investigated the story online and it's reprinted in many papers and carried on all the news services, but none of the many versions had a picture to accompany the story. I was compelled to Photoshop something together from found images for the occasion.
