Well, NOW what am I going to make for dinner???
In response to a number of cases involving people eating slugs or snails and becoming ill, the Medical Journal of Australia has issued the following warning: Don't eat slugs.
The most recent case involved a Sydney student who contracted bacterial meningitis after eating a slug for a $20 bet. The meningitis was caused by a worm normally seen in rat lungs, but also carried in larval form in slugs and snails.

Woman breaks both legs by jumping up and down
-ananova
A US woman broke both legs when she jumped up and down to complain about loud music in the flat below hers.
Toni Lynn Lycan, 44, lost her temper when her neighbor in an apartment block in Ridgefield, Washington, increased the volume of his stereo.
She shouted at Allen Haines, 27, to turn it down, but he grabbed a broom and banged it on his ceiling.
The infuriated Lycan then jumped up in the air and slammed both feet on the floor - hard enough to break both legs about four inches below the kneecap.
The injuries were discovered when police officers were sent to the apartments.

Rotten Fruit: Smuckers Thinks we're Suckers
Fruit. That's what we've come to expect from Smuckers. After all, doesn't their labeling declare "Simply 100 percent Fruit"?!?!
Well, a woman with Princess and the Pea Palate Syndrome (PPPS) sampled some Smuckers spreadables and found them lacking. The litigious licker has launched a campaign for a class-action lawsuit against the J M Smucker Co, charging that the company has for years duped innocent Americans into paying for partial potency in their fruit products. How far off was the percent? The 100% fruit strawberry jam has less than 30% strawberry fruit. Blueberry? Only 43%.
I for one, am appalled. Thanks to Glenn McMillen for bringing this atrocity to my attention and thusly, to YOUR attention.
