[web-heads] The mind boggles

[Gene Spafford <spaf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, so I stumbled across a site that had a collection of links  
about the same story.   We covered it here before -- about the guy in  
Washington state who died from having sex with a horse.

Here is the first link, explaining about trying to cover it as news  
without giving details:

vnu_content_id=1000981095

Then there is this story, from a paper local to WA where someone  
can't stop thinking about the story, and more details come out:

2002389068_brodeur19m.html

Then, the Village Voice has a columnist who decides to provide yet  
further detail to explain what happened (you need to read into the  
first response some):

Of course, the other questions are rather odd, too, but if you look  
at the past columns, you'll see that isn't unusual.  Well, for the  
column.

Last of all, there was a link to a blog that had a link to a video.    
This video is supposedly of the same man and horse, only possibly on  
a different occasion.   Let me note here that many of you probably  
don't want to watch this.  Maybe most of you don't.  If you're  
morbidly curious to understand exactly how this guy could get a  
perforated colon, then watch away.   But you've been warned -- it's  
brief, but it is .... memorable.  It's not as bad as some things that  
have gone out on this list, but it's on the order of some of the  
stuff at rotten.com (although I found the autopsy photos there a  
little bit more disturbing, but that's a different issue).

(Don't complain to me -- I warned you!)

And by the way, what is it with animals anyhow?  <http://

If you're going to get down on the farm while down on the farm, stay  
with the farmer's family, okay?  <http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/
