This is a case of homicide through reckless Stupidity!

A shocking incident occurred in the village located in Moldov. (Declared independence from the U.S.S.R.)

The parents decided to baptize their six-weeks-old child on July 22. The priest of the local church, who is also the chief of all priests of the district, was not going to be there, so he asked priest Valentine Tsaralunge from the village of Taul to perform the ceremony.

The Godparents saw that the boy was not well and warned father Valentine. He answered it was not the first time that he was conducting the ceremony and knew what he was doing. When they saw that the child showed no signs of life, he was immediately taken to the district hospital.

The physician-pathologist said that the boy had suffered mechanical asphyxia by drowning, there was bruising and bleeding in the soft tissues of his neck. The doctor said the baby was healthy.

A Washington State Patrol trooper says the driver of a FedEx tractor-trailer rig choked on some spicy pork rinds, lost control of his truck on an interstate and jackknifed it before coming to a stop in a muddy ditch.

Trooper Keith Leary says Edward Sutherland was driving his rig southbound from Blaine near the Canadian border Monday when he began choking and veered from the southbound lanes across the median into northbound lanes of Interstate 5.

The trooper says the truck didn’t hit any vehicles. Leary says the 42-year-old driver suffered minor injuries and will be cited for driving with wheels off the roadway.

London, England – An amateur treasure hunter armed with a metal detector has found over 52,000 Roman coins worth $1 million buried in field, one of the largest ever such finds in the UK, said the British Museum.

Dave Crisp, a hospital chef, came across the buried treasure while searching for “metal objects” in a field near Frome, Somerset in southwestern England.

Initially, Crisp found 21 coins, but when he unearthed the pot, he knew he needed archaeological help to excavate them.
The hoard contains 766 coins bearing an image of the Roman general Marcus Aurelius Carausius, who ruled Britain independently from AD 286 to AD 293 and was the first Roman emperor to strike coins in Britain.

A Brighton, Tennessee couple received quite a shock when they tried to install a new swimming pool in their backyard: the jawbone of a pre-historic animal.

The strange and unusual discovery caught Jim Leyden and his wife by surprise.

“My wife called and said, ‘You’re not going to believe it. They can’t do anything with the pool,’” Leyden said. “I’m thinking, what happened?”

It was no mistake – as contractors dug a hole to install the Leydens’ new pool, they discovered a set of rare bones.

“They found a dinosaur,” Leyden said.

Well, not exactly. Excavators believe the two-foot long jawbone may have belonged to a close relative of the mastodon called a trilophodon, an mammal which resembles an elephant.
