Man Dies After Shark Attack

I just had to go in and open this thread.

Oh well since I did it, I'll contribute this:

Edward II of England was rumoured to have been murdered, after being deposed and imprisoned by his wife Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, by having a horn pushed into his anus through which a red-hot iron was inserted, burning out his internal organs without marking his body

I'm thinking that's probably not how the term "horny" got started.
 
Also, with my receding hairline, here's something else I need to worry about.

Aeschylus, the eldest of the three great Athenian tragedians, was killed by a tortoise dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his bald head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile.

Before we get too hung up on what dachshunds look like we should probably remember that dachshund is German for badger hound. They were bred to go into burrows and take out badgers. When in packs they also could take on larger animals like wild boars.

Good points. Thinking about it, my little teddy bear has a habit (I'm sure it is instinctual) of going right for my Achilles when we've been fighting and I go to walk away. I'm sure that's their way of disabling larger prey until they can wear it down.

"my little teddy bear"
explain this phrase, please. Bear in mind, I've always pictured you as sort of a lumberjack/Brawny paper towels type dude.
