Florida man (possible alien) dies after cockroach eating contestAre you kidding me?His 15 minutes of fame turned gruesome when a West Palm Beach man died after winning†a cockroach eating contest in October. Deputies from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said Edward Archbold,†age 32,†ate dozens of cockroaches at Ben Siegel Reptiles in Deerfield Beach,†Fla.At about 11:30 p.m. on a Friday night, police received a call from the store owner because Archbold had collapsed. He had eaten dozens of cockroaches in an effort to win a snake worth $850. “After he was done (eating the cockroaches), he went to go throw up in the bathroom and that was it,” said Pharaoh Gayles, who was among†20 to 30 competitors in the contest. Twenty to 30 competitors! What!Archbold died at the hospital. This is almost too sick to publish.Shark on the golf course?Pro Golfer Greg Norman is known as the ìshark.î However, he recently had some competition when a real shark turned up on a golf course in San Juan Capistrano, Calif.It was a normal day on the golf course, until a 2-foot-long shark fell from the sky onto the 12th tee. The leopard shark was alive and ìflopping all over the place.î Apparently, the shark had been plucked from the ocean by a bird. The bird eventually lost its grip on the shark over the golf course. A golf course marshal found the shark alive but bleeding from puncture wounds. He retrieved the shark and drove it back to the clubhouse in his golf cart. The Good Samaritan to sharks put his ìcatchî in a bucket of ìhomemade sea water.îEventually, the marshal and an entourage of shark fans took the little guy to the ocean and released it. At first, it didnít move but then the shark ìflipped and took off.î Do sharks have nine lives, too?
