...I don't know...what do you want to call it?...

Not sure I want to touch this one

Um - maybe the guy found the ultimate loophole? All you have to do is, well, die to get out of prison in some states. I would like to think that this is a purely American phenomenon?

From CNN today

So, apparently the guy got hit with some sort of foam bullet during a prison riot in which he was trying to keep the guards from breaking up the fight. He is now brain dead and the folks who run California's prisons figure, since he's brain dead and all, that he can be left in the care of his family rather than staying shackled to the bed with an armed guard.

If that's not enough weird news about death for you, CNN also has this little article about some guy trying to lure "emotionally fragile" women to his home for a sex and suicide Valentines Day party. (Good news is that the plan was thwarted by the guy's arrest.)

So, Happy Tuesday! Oh, and a quick note to CNN: there's a war going on - maybe you could cover that? Or maybe something about the budget or social security or anything other than random stories of death?!
