Brazilian man dies after cow falls through his roof on top of him. Joao Maria de Souza, 45, had been in bed with his wife Leni when the animal fell through the ceiling of their home in Caratinga, southeast Brazil.
The cow is believed to have escaped from a nearby farm and climbed onto the roof of the couple's house, which backs onto a steep hill on Wednesday night.
The corrugated roof immediately gave way and the one-and-a-half-ton animal fell eight feet onto Mr de Souza's side of the bed.
His wife was heard saying, "WTF Joao would you mind staying on your side of the bed?"
[that last sentence was a editorial remark by TM] And in the end ......it wasn't the cow that killed him.
That's the sad part?
He died of internal bleeding while waiting to be seen at the emergency room, "hours later".
The bureaucracy: the new fourth branch of government. The bureaucracy is permanent, unaccountable, unelected and choking us like a weed. The bureaucrat exists, generating nothing of value, using perceived problems to justify his existence.
ZitatHis grieving mother, Maria de Souza, told Brazil's SuperCanal TV channel: "I didn't bring my son up to be killed by a falling cow."
Poor thing !!
What luck .... maybe he should have slept in the barn and bought a powerball ticket !!
Thank you soooooo much for bringing us this flying cow story tonight, TM !!
You are welcome WG!
I know, it's a bit early for the "real news" of the day to come forward,
but after our late nite last night I thought I'd poke in a few stories and then sneak off early.
