They make for a good read either way!
True or not, they bring a smile.

The average cost of rehabilitating a
seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special
ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back
into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full
view, a killer whale ate them both!

A woman came home to
find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing
frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric
kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him
with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment,
he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

Two animal rights
protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse
in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped
through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two hapless protesters were
trampled to death.

Fire authorities in California found
a corpse in a burned-out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a
forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with
scuba tanks on his back, flippers, and face mask.
A post-mortem test revealed that the
man died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental records
provided a positive identification. Investigators then set about to determine
how a fully clothed diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire.
It was revealed that on the day of
the fire, the man went diving off the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The
fire fighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, had called
in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from
the ocean and emptied at the site of the forest fire.
You guessed it. One minute our diver
was making like Flipper in the Pacific -- the next, he was doing the breast
stroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get

Iraqi terrorist Khay
Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with 'return
to sender' stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was
blown to bits.
What ?! Still think you're having a bad day?
Just remember, it could be worse.
A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife
nearby in the kitchen. While racing the engine, the motorcycle accidentally
slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged
along as it burst through the glass patio doors.
His wife, hearing the crash, ran in
the room to find her husband cut and bleeding, the motorcycle, and the
shattered patio door. She called for an ambulance and, because the house sat on
a fairly large hill, went down the several flights of stairs to meet the
paramedics and escort them to her husband.
While the attendants were loading
her husband, the wife managed to right the motorcycle and push it outside. She
also quickly blotted up the spilled petrol with some paper towels and tossed
them into the toilet.
After being treated and released, the
man returned home, looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to
his motorcycle. He went into the bathroom and consoled himself with a cigarette
while attending to his business About to stand, he flipped the butt between his
legs.
The wife, who was in the kitchen,
heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. Finding him lying on the
bathroom floor with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks, legs and
groin, she once again phoned for an ambulance. The same paramedic crew was
dispatched.
As the paramedics carried the man down the stairs to the
ambulance, they asked the wife how he had come to burn himself. She told them.
They started laughing so hard, one slipped, the stretcher dumping the husband
out. He fell down the remaining stairs, breaking his arm.
There -- feeling better now?
