I suppose if you wanted to kill yourself there are hundreds of different ways to do it, but did you know that in Japan – who’s suicide rate is high, the most popular method of killing one’s self is to leap to their death.
Sorry, that wouldn’t be my first choice!
I guess this choice of suicide is dangerous for pedestrians as well. In April an 18 year old woman jumped to her death from a nine story Tokyo building. Unfortunately she landed on a 60 year old pedestrian who was walking by at the time. Luckily he only suffered bruises. Same for a 27 year old man who was landed on by a 39 year old jumper in May 2000. This last event also happened in Tokyo so I guess if your visiting the city stay away from high buildings!

A Sheboygan, Wis. man has been accused of stomping a pet tropical fish to death.
The fish stomping occurred during a dispute with his girlfriend. Anastacio Molina Jr, 40, now faces charges of disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. Hmmm no animal cruelty?
A call came into the police station at about 5:30 pm Tuesday stating that Molina was destroying the house. This was the second time that the police had been to the house that day. Five hours earlier they’d arrived as a result of verbal dispute that occurred when Molina ordered his girlfriend to move out of the home.
Upon arrival at the house, the remains of the pet fish, an Oscar, were on the sidewalk. The 12 year old son of Molina’s girlfriend had told police that Molina had taken it out of it’s tank and stomped it to death. He then went on to break a stereo and a picture window.
Molina had a prior conviction for child abuse so these misdemenor charges have penalty enhancers added to them. he could face up to four years in prison and a possible $11,000 in fines.

Here’s a few accident prone people that you wouldn’t want working on your property:
- Inspecting the Dukovany nuclear power plant in Moravia in September, an unnamed American official with the International Atomic Energy Agency wandered away from the group and fell into a water tank. I hope that water wasn’t tainted!
- In September, firefighters in Spokane, Wash., rescued a worker whose head had become stuck in a water meter enclosure for about four hours. How does one get their head stuck in a water meter enclosure?
- In October, when Turkey’s prime minister Tayyip Erdogan fainted from low blood sugar, his security team rushed him to a hospital but mistakenly locked him and the keys inside his fortified car; after they pounded on it for a while, a nearby construction worker with a sledgehammer saved the day. That could have been a life and death situation for the Prime Minister. I think he needs a new security team- don’t you?
