man-sized catfish chokes on football

A gigantic catfish in Germany's Main River met its end this week when it suffocated after trying to eat a football, water police reported.

The 2-metre catfish was discovered floating in a sluice in Goßmannsdorf near Würzburg in the German state of Bavaria on Monday

the fish probably mistook the ball for prey.

Catfish are among the largest freshwater predatory fish. Jünger said the fish generally await their prey on the river floor, but sometimes pop up to snag birds from the surface.

clipper's remarks: "In reponse to the damning video and the other claims, the hospital says it is increasing staffing and bringing in new protocols, including that patients in the emergency room have to be checked every 15 minutes."

yeah...one protocol that should never be asked is CARE for others.

See the video

[Video]

SHOCKING surveillance camera footage shows a woman collapsing and dying on a hospital emergency room floor and then lying for an hour while staff walk past.

Two other patients move around the room, security guards walk past and one even stares at Green for about 20 seconds but the woman is left prone until one of the patients gets help after about an hour has elapsed.

The video is being used as evidence by lawyers suing the hospital for neglect and the alleged abuse of mental health patients.

The two security guards shown in the video and four other hospital workers have been fired over the incident.

The hospital had a lawsuit filed against it last year alleging horrific neglect and abuse of mental patients.

A Few Things Moore Forgot in Sicko

clipper's remarks:

Michael Moore forgot to mention what the United States does have that other countries do not: A Declaration of Independence. A Constitution. A Bill of Rights. The concepts of individual rights, personal choice, free markets, private investment that develops most of the world's new medications, and the benefit of a private relationship between physicians and their patients without third-party interference.

In his hymn to every other nation's superiority to America—in proportion to their commitment to collectivism—Michael Moore forgot to mention any American values at all.

When Mr. Moore filmed two of his relatives buying health insurance in fear before they traveled to America, he forgot to mention that many Canadians travel to America for the express purpose of spending their own money for more than $1 billion in American health care each year.

Michael Moore forgot to mention why he jammed seriously ill patients into a small boat to take them to Cuba, in order to film a stunt attempting to prove the superiority of Cuban health care-when, for much less money, he could have written them a check for care in America. It must have been compassion.

Most importantly, when Mr. Moore mentioned that "every industrial country" except the United States has adopted medical socialism, he did not mention why that means that we should.

Many of those countries have long waiting lists and severe rationing of health care. Should the United States?

Energy drinks

Energy drinks linked to risky behavior among teenagers

Health researchers have identified a surprising new predictor for risky behavior among teenagers and young adults: the energy drink.

Super-caffeinated energy drinks, with names like Red Bull, Monster, Full Throttle and Amp, have surged in popularity in the past decade. About a third of 12- to 24-year-olds say they regularly down energy drinks, which account for more than $3 billion in annual sales in the United States.

The trend has been the source of growing concern among health researchers and school officials. Around the country, the drinks have been linked with reports of nausea, abnormal heart rhythms and emergency room visits.

New research suggests the drinks are associated with a health issue far more worrisome than the jittery effects of caffeine — risk taking.

Social Network Bans Older Users

A British social networking site has banned users over the age of 36 in an effort to keep kids safe from sex offenders. Uh, yeah.

Apparently, Faceparty believes that being any older than 36 means you pose a serious risk of trying to molest teens. I’m not sure why 36 is the magic number — I guess someone 35 is unlikely to have an interest in pre-teens, whereas someone 37 is inclined to start cybersexing up all the middle schoolers. Here’s how the site’s administrators explain it:

“We understand that only a minority of older users are sex offenders, but you must understand that we cannot tell which. We can only delete all to make the site safe and we apologise for that. However, we are following the law and you cannot think we are wrong for doing that.”

Vandals Damage Stonehenge With Hammer

LONDON — Two men attacked the ancient monument of Stonehenge with a hammer and chipped off a piece of stone the size of a large coin, a conservation group said Thursday.

Two men hacked the piece from the Heel Stone — the central megalith at the ancient site — last week, English Heritage spokeswoman Debbie Holden said. They were spotted by security guards but escaped by jumping over a fence and driving off.

Wiltshire police are investigating the incident at the UNESCO World Heritage Site located 90 miles (145 kilometers) west of London.

"The damage is very, very slight because security guards spotted them straight away, but the whole thing is still upsetting," said Holden. "This kind of thing has not happened for decades."
The mysterious Stonehenge site is one of Britain's best known and least understood landmarks.
