World Most Bizarre Suicide.......
World Most Bizarre Suicide....... At the 1994 annual awards dinner given by the American Association for Forensic Science, AAFS president Don Harper Mills astounded his audience in San Diego with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story: On 23 March 1994, the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. The decedent had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide (he left a note indicating his despondency). As he fell past the ninth floor, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast through a window, which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the decedent was aware that a safety net had been erected at the eighth floor level to protect some window washers and that Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide anyway because of this. Ordinarily, Dr. Mills continued, a person who sets out to commit suicide ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended. That Opus was shot on the way to certain death nine stories below probably would not have changed his mode of death from suicide to homicide. But the fact that his suicidal intent would not have been successful caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands. The room on the ninth floor whence the shotgun blast emanated was occupied by and elderly man and his wife. They were arguing and he was threatening her with the shotgun. He was so upset that, when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife and pellets went through the window striking Opus. When one intends to kill subject A but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B. When confronted with this charge, the old man and his wife were both adamant that neither knew that the shotgun was loaded. The old man said it was his long standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her - therefore, the killing of Opus appeared to be an accident. That is, the gun had been accidentally loaded. The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun approximately six weeks prior to the fatal incident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus. There was an exquisite twist. Further investigation revealed that the son, one Ronald Opus, had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the ten story building on March 23, only to be killed by a shotgun blast through a ninth story window. The medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

I've just got a speeding notice!!
Thanks guys for all your support and suggestions. Here are the facts, as I recall them, and as Lancashire Police have informed me. Firstly I live in Grantham in lincolnshire, the alledged offence happened in Blackburn lancs, 130 miles apart (approx). It happened in the town, on a 30mph road, and I was clocked at 37mph, by a static camera. The vehicle is registered in my name only and is insured in my name only. I also don't recall passing the camera, although I do recall passing others, at 30mph. I'm not used to the area, it was very sunny on the day (not that that should make a differance :rolleyes: ) it was a nice day, targas off, windows down and a.......................... ermmm sorry i digress ;) Thought about the 'Someone interested in buying it' routine, but then I'd have to give an address of where he lives! Thought about the idea of ignoring it, but then I dont like the idea of that one backfirering on me (knowing my luck it f***ing would) So I see no other option apart from returning the form signed! :cry: And £60!!!!! :shock: how long has it been that much, it was only £40 last time I got one :xxx:

Do you regret posting a thread??
Simple, do you? Have you ever thought after posting, 'Oh shite, wish I'd never said that now' Because it made you look stupid? Because you got an adverse reaction? Because it made you look gay!? (lol) Any other reason??? Ive done a couple, where I've really not got the reaction I thought I'd get, ie, made myself look really stupid. One recent one springs to mind :slap: :mac1:

Fuel cat
I used to be a member of the Capri Club, and Fuel Cat advertised in there, it first came out when the government decided to stop selling 4 Star, and it was there to be used with unleaded to aid the valve seats from being pitted. Now I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Fuel Cat for this purpose, and not to help UNLEADED ONLY cars in fuel economy???

NZR - Are NTL anygood????
Thanks James, interesting reading. Jezz, and anyone else who hates AOL....WHY??? I mean, yeah I know it wasnt very good on dial-up, but then which company is stable on dial-up, as you end up useing a crap old BT line. OK I've already junked the new aol-9, as it slows my pc down, so ive gone back to aol-8. But i've not had any probs with aol, except for a connection problem last year with msn, which took a few days, and it wasnt just aol who had this, i'm told tiscalli and a few others did at the same time. So come on, what are your gripes with AOL......................... I can see I'm gona regret asking that :D.................. Hang-on, lets restrict that to gripes with AOL broadband, or the operating part of it, ie; NOT problems with accessing aol via dial-up, cus their all as bad as each other.

NZR - Are NTL anygood????
I'm on AOL at the mo, with broadband. This is using a BT line(ADSL). My normal BT bill is £9.95 line rental, no calls. I dont use the phone for calls, as I use my mobile (200 mins free anywhere anytime per month ;)). The other day the rep from NTL came-a-knocking at my door, he said that they had a deal on at the mo, line rental for £4.95(i think) and i could keep my contract with AOL, but do it through their fibre optic line and get rid of BT. So what I want to know is, are NTL dependable, and is it worth it?? It wont be NTL broadband, it'll still be AOL, but just through them instead. And before anyone says anything about AOL, I'm happy with them, I only use them as my provider, once established, I minimise it and use IE. Also since being on broadband, I've had only one internet crash, which compared to dial-up, is fooking good :D
