So you dont want me reporting Janey Godley is in hospice care?

This one belongs in the strange and unusual deaths file, an Italian surfer was speared in the chest by a swordfish and died. That's got to be a one in a trillion event.

Wow, that really is a freak event. I don't think too many other people would have been killed by a swordfish before, it's kind of like being fatally struck by a meteorite or being born and dying both on 29th February.

It's now reported it was not a swordfish, rather a needlefish, which I know as a Long Tom. A fairly small fish. There seems to be about a dozen deaths caused by needlefish that have been reported, From the wiki

Needlefish, like all ray-finned beloniforms, are capable of making short jumps out of the water at up to 60 km/h (37 mph). Since needlefish swim near the surface, they often leap over the decks of shallow boats rather than going around. This jumping activity is greatly excited by artificial light at night; night fisherman and divers in areas across the Pacific Ocean have been "attacked" by schools of suddenly excited needlefish diving across the water towards the light source at high speed. Their sharp beaks are capable of inflicting deep puncture wounds, often breaking off inside the victim in the process. For many traditional Pacific Islander communities, who primarily fish on reefs from low boats, needlefish represent an even greater risk of injury than sharks

Sad news as a Trekkie, although Voyager is my least favourite Trek series (Neelix was the worst)

After seeing former US President Jimmy Carter on his recent 100th birthday, I have to wonder - Have two doctors with a third doctor reviewing their findings actually carried out the series of standard tests to confirm whether he is still living or dead? Given his appearance that day, I'm not convinced whether President Carter actually meets the criteria for still being classed as alive. As I noted at the time, he looks like he was born in 1824 not 1924.
