I see that I'm gaining a possible reputation as a Fortean? A sad story. Hmmm, a Murmuration, a lovely expression, though. | ||

Aww, yes, I read about that - very sad. The article I saw said they might have been trying to avoid a sparrow hawk and crash landed into the concrete driveway after mis-timing their escape.  | ||

I like the picture of a pencil in case we didn't know what one looked like. I guess the pencil can be as mighty as the sword. | ||

He was depressed about his mum, the article says. In fact, you could say, 'e raced her to death. | ||

This is a sad story. The ridiculous death, hinged on a thought so significant to the guy, the ridiculousness being the only thing left considered or visible. Is this what horror is, tragedy made stupid by some little detail? |
