If you go down in the woods today...

There are some things your parents teach you as a kid. Don't talk to strangers. Don't step into traffic. Don't climb into the bear pen at the zoo. You know, normal, everyday life lessons. Apart from the last one. Apparently, at least one person wasn't given the all important "Don't antagonise grizzly bears" talk as a child, and thought he should climb into the pen. The results were, shall we say, predictable.

Man shows up alive at his own funeral

Funerals are never much fun. I suppose it is even less fun when you show up to the funeral and find out it is your own.

The Telegraph reports that a Brazilian man recently showed up to a funeral, to find out it was his funeral. I am not quite sure what is Portuguese for "Twighlight Zone", but he must have thought he was in it. One quote that stands out for me is

"Before long, the walking dead appeared at the funeral. It was a relief."


Now seeing a member of the living dead has words to describe it, but "relief" generally wouldn't be top of my list. More like "completely freaked out".
