A couple of years ago some plonker at our local mall was messing around and fell 20m to his death. He also didn't hit anyone before slam-dunking the concrete.
Ironically, it happened outside Boots pharmacy. Would you like aspirin for that headache? Travel insurance?
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Cures me of wanting to go to the mall... hello amazon.

Bleh, so more of the story comes out - turns out it was a suicide attempt, this would be the third one in the last 12 months. I expect to see heavy duty netting installed soon.

I agree, the lack of bicyling in the criteria really throws a wench in the spokes.

Reportedly found dead in his apartment this morning, some overdose speculation.
Doesn't seem to be any confirmation he is dead yet, news sites just picking it up, some still suggesting May be latest death hoax.
