A seven-year old French boy
digging for treasure, found a jar
with four fingers instead.
The boy unearthed the jar near
his school gymnasium, after
seeing it sticking out of the
ground, and found the partially
decomposed fingers preserved in
alcohol.
Clutching his macabre find, the
boy raced home to tell his father
who then alerted police.
A few days into the investigation
and media reportage the police
received a call from the grandson
of a carpenter who used to live
near the school gym but had
since moved out of town.
According to the grandson, the
carpenter lost four fingers in an
unfortunate accident, and because
doctors were unable to reattach
them, he put them in alcohol and
buried them near his home.
TOO much salt?
The creator of Doritos, Arch
West, has been buried with corn
chips after passing away at the
ripe old age of 97.
West discovered fried tortilla
chips whilst on a family holiday in
San Diego in 1961.
After getting somewhat
unenthusiastic responses to the
idea from his employer Frito-Lay,
the marketing executive pressed
on with research which proved
there would be a market for
cheesy tortilla chips.
The result was the launch of
Doritos shortly after.
West’s family laid the chip-genius
to rest this month,
throwing Doritos on top of his urn
before dirt was shoveled in,
leaving the man and his chips to
rest in peace.
IT’S a bird! It’s a plane! No it’s Jebb.
US thrillseeker Jebb Corliss turned
heads as he flew through the sky
in a wingsuit at 75mph before
navigating through an opening in
Tianmen mountain, China.
“Thank you China, that was
amazing.” he said after his death
defying stunt.
