If You Plan On Eating Wild Mushrooms You Found At A Truck Stop

Don’t. Just don’t.

It was not clear how soon she went to the hospital after eating the poisonous mushrooms on July 6 in woods near the rest stop in Bedford.

Poisoning symptoms include vomiting, severe abdominal pain, internal bleeding, kidney failure, and eventually death.

The county Health Department cautioned against eating any mushrooms found in the wild, because it is difficult to distinguish poisonous varieties from edible ones.

“Obviously this is extremely rare,” Health Department spokeswoman Caren Halbfinger said of the poisoning death. “It is very unfortunate.”

If You Plan A Copwatch Meeting

Don’t let the morons speak.

One person, who did not give her name, claimed that the penal code had been sold to the Chinese military police, that the constitution has been replaced by a violent law called the armorility law and that police have the right to search and arrest at will.

Another person said he appreciates the police, who he called some of the mildest mannered people he has ever met. Another person stumbled on his feet as he talked for several minutes about his ancestors and the police chief in 1970, before stopping to say, “What were we talking about?”

If You Are Afraid That Your Bag Of Grapes Contains Spider Venom

July 16, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Just ask these folks how they survived.

Mr Williams, 52, and his 45-year-old wife had already started munching on the two £1 bags of fruit when they noticed that something was moving inside.

A quick rummage revealed that two spiders, one alive and one dead, had already made a meal out of the Moroccan-grown grapes.

Mr Williams also spotted a cotton wool-like substance – which turned out to be the poisonous arachnid’s nest.

Minutes later, Mr and Mrs Williams, who were on holiday in Newquay, Cornwall, fell ill and drove to hospital where doctors told them the fruit they had eaten had been covered in the spider’s toxins.

They were monitored closely for several hours and have now made an official complaint to the supermarket in Wadebridge, Cornwall – which has offered to pay them back the £2 cost of the grapes.
