An Egyptian man has been admitted to a mental hospital after he killed his father with repeated blows to the head to cure his headache, Egyptian state news agency MENA said on Wednesday.
Mustafa Said Khalil Ibrahim, 37, clubbed his elderly father over the head 25 times to "change the blood in his head and cure him of a chronic headache," MENA said, adding the man said his father had requested the radical treatment.
The man had initially been charged with manslaughter by a prosecutor in the Nile Delta province of Sharqiya, but a doctor later declared him insane.

Death has shown remarkable success in ending various aliments and diseases. Given that the enlightened 'univeral health care' systems of the Europeans withhold medical services from the elderly, the average European bureaucrat isn't much off from this approach to resolving such problems as well.
The FBI says a tip from a homeless man led them to a bandit who held up an armored car in Monroe and escaped down a river on an inner tube.
Anthony Curcio of Lake Stevens was arrested and charged in U.S. District Court on Tuesday with one count of interfering with commerce. Investigators say he sprayed an armored car guard in the face with pepper spray on Sept. 30, made off with $400,000, then hopped on a yellow inner tube and escaped down Woods Creek.
The FBI says it cracked the case when agents learned that about two weeks before the robbery, a homeless man called 911 to report that he found a can of Mace, a wig and a two-way radio behind a trash bin nearby. When a man came to retrieve the items, the homeless man wrote down the license plate number of his car.

The homeless man, may he have a year at Holiday Inn on the armored car company, knew about the details of the robbery.
He seems to have been paying attention to the world around him, including details with no conceivable connection to his plight.

I would have thought that $400K would have sunk the inner tube and robber. Must have been a big inner tube.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Police say a Wal-Mart worker has died after being trampled by a throng of unruly shoppers shortly after the Long Island store opened Friday.
Nassau County police say the 34-year-old worker was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., an hour after the store opened. The cause of death was not immediately known.
A police statement says a throng of shoppers "physically broke down the doors, knocking him to the ground." Police also say a 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital for observation.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., in Bentonville, Ark., would not confirm the reports of a stampede during the day-after-Thanksgiving bargain hunting, but said a "medical emergency" caused them to close the store.

Must have been the Winter Holiday Spirit that carried them away. Couldn't have been the Christmas one. That one celebrates the birth of the Prince of Peace.

Something doesn't compute between the pictures from ZF and the description from P2K.

I was once caught in a crowd at a rock concert in the 70's, CaljamII. A frightening event where someone in back yelled to rush the gate and next thing we knew we were off our feet in the rush. Dozens were hurt. This crowd should never have been allowed to mass directly at the door. People should never act like this but the store promotes this panic crowd by offering unbelievable prices with only one or two of the advertised items on the shelf. Once a company attract a large crowd creating an event, they are responsible for crowd control and for everyones safety.

Humans are herd animals. And yes, P2K's description of the areas primary inhabitants doesn't appear to reflect the particular demographic of the group that showed up.

been there as well. Who (80's -The Ox was still alive and kicking) concert at San Diego Stadium, I got against the plywood wall at the stage on the grass. I had to push as hard as I could to get room to breathe, couldn't even guess what was happening to the poor people behind me. General Admission? Never again.

:-) If I'd had a handful, I wouldn't know what or whose it was. I don't get afeared much, but I didn't like that it was totally out of my control. Not a good feeling at all

Maybe he's just, you know, really _deep_ cover.
