The power of suggestion...

I found something that was very interesting...
See...? You can get to know the man behind the sport.

Very, very unhappy coincedences...
From the Bremerton Sun, Fri, Aug. 20, 2004...
SAY WHAT?
Superstition kills

BUCAREST -- A superstitious Romanian, who refused to leave his house throughout Friday the 13th to avoid bad luck, died after he was stung by a wasp in his kitchen, police said. Florin Carcu, 54, had even taken the precaution of asking his boss for permission not to go to work on the inauspicious Friday.

"It was the strangest request I've ever recieved but I ended up giving him permission to stay at home because he seemed to be really scared of something bad happening to him on that day," Carcu's boss Gheorghe Domsa said.

Doctors from the emergency services in Cluj said Carcu had been making coffee when he was stung by a species of wasp that is very rare in Romania and whose sting is very poisonous.

He died on the spot.

And just a note... 16 Reasons Why the Tour de France Is Better Than the Super Bowl ...and my cuz just walked in the door... and guess what? She WEARS YELLOW. Because of the recent news of cancer in her G-ma... she now wears a LIVESTRONG bracelet. *tear* I have yet to find one for myself... soon tho... I will track one down! But its great... to know that we are all connected... just by seeing a stranger wearing yellow... it really gives me some perspective.

Nite y'all...
