Doesn't get much better than this: Quote:
LUTZ, Fla. - Two college students were found dead inside a large, deflated helium balloon after apparently pulling it down and crawling inside it, officials said.
The deaths of Jason Ackerman and Sara Rydman, both 21, appear to be accidental, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Maj. Bob Schrader said.
Their bodies were found Saturday partially inside a deflated helium balloon at the entrance of a condominium complex a few miles north of Tampa. The 8-foot-diameter balloon was used to advertise the complex.
"It was more a fun thing they thought they were doing," said Linda Rydman, whose daughter was found dead. "You know how you blow up the balloon and suck the helium."
The county medical examiner said Sunday that the cause of death won't be released for six weeks, until toxicology results come back.
Inhaling helium can quickly lead to brain damage and death from lack of oxygen, according to the Compressed Gas Association, which develops safety standards in the gas industry.

Wurd!
How can you explain Hurricane Wilma last year? It killed one person in the Caribbean, nobody in Mexico (as a Category 5, mind you), and kills 14 Floridiots as a dying Category 2?
It's natural selection in action!

Charmed woman marries cobra in India
A woman who fell in love with a snake has married the reptile at a traditional Hindu wedding celebrated by 2,000 guests in Indiaâ??s Orissa state, reports said Friday.
Bimbala Das wore a silk saree for the ceremony Wednesday at Atala village near the Orissa state capital Bhubaneswar.
Priests chanted mantras to seal the union, but the snake failed to come out of a nearby ant hill where it lives, the Press Trust of India (PTI) said. A brass replica snake stood in for the hesitant groom. â??Though snakes cannot speak nor understand, we communicate in a peculiar way,â? Das, 30, told the agency. â??Whenever I put milk near the ant hill where the cobra lives, it always comes out to drink. â??I always get to see it every time I go near the ant hill. It has never harmed me,â? she added.
Villagers welcomed the wedding in the belief it would bring good fortune and laid on a feast for the big day. Snakes and particularly the King Cobra are venerated in India as religious symbols worn by Lord Shiva, the god of destruction.
Das, from a lower caste, converted to the animal-loving vegetarian Vaishnav sect whose local elders gave her permission to marry the cobra, the worldâ??s largest venomous snake that can grow up to five metres. â??I am happy,â? said her mother Dyuti Bhoi, who has two other daughters and two sons to marry off. â??Bimbala was ill,â? Bhoi told local OTV channel. â??We had no money to treat her. Then she started offering milk to the snake ... she was cured. That made her fall in love.â?
