The MagicKnight's Worldwide Facts -

The clip I have for you today is about "laughing to death", and it's no laughing matter! There are many diseases, germs, and sicknesses that bring death to people today, some people die because of a common disease, others pass away with sorrow, but who ever thought of LAUGHING to death!?!? Yes, it sounds pretty funny, but these unlucky people didn't die from of hearing a stupid joke! This symptom comes from a disease which is only found in a tribe in Papua New Guinea. You'll be in a unstoppable laughing state, and you can't force yourself to stop. The cure? There is no cure! Scientists believe that this disease is caused from the tribe's tradition,eating their enemies brains after defeating them. Maybe these "brains" carry the germs that cause this terrifing sickness. "Brains" are very dangerous nowadays. Keep in mind that AIDS is also caused by "brains", so look before you leap, er..eat!


Weird World -

You don't know how weird this world is. I've gonna bring you some WEIRD facts, that actually happened!
LONDON - At least 18 people were injured in an annual cheese-rolling competition, paramedics said. A record crowd of 4,000 turned to watch Cooper Hill's annual cheese-rolling contest near Gloucester, England. Competitors race down a steep hill while chasing a huge rolling cheese. Most seriously injured was a man who tried to avoid the bouncing 3.6 kilo "Double Gloucester" cheese as it went of course. He lost balance and fell 30 meters down the hill, suffering a serious head injury. Of the 17 other injured, six were just watching. One of the winners of the 4 races, 21 year-old Craig Carter, finished despite breaking his left arm.
MONTERREY, Mexico - The Mexican town of Guadalupe has ordered the drivers of horse-drawn carts to put their horses in diapers by January or face a hefty fine. Residents of Guadalupe, a suburb of the northern city of Monterrey, complained that excrement from horse-drawn vehicles used to much by poor merchants is causing to much pollution. Local authorities slapped the diaper order on drivers, threatening fines of US$300.
