Don Harper Mills: 1994's Most Bizarre Suicide
This story can be found in many places on the Web, usually without attribution, and claims that it is true. But the story of its origin, and how to spot it must be an UL, can be found at Deconstructing Ronald Opus At the 1994 annual awards dinner given by the American Association for Forensic Sciences, AAFS President Don Harper Mills astounded his audience in San Diego with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story... On March 23 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a gunshot wound of the head caused by a shotgun. Investigation to that point had revealed that the decedent had jumped from the top of a ten story building with the intent to commit suicide. Ordinarily a person who starts into motion the events with a suicide intent ultimately commits suicide even though the mechanism might be not what he intended. The medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

Better Than “Hunting” Chex Mix |
There is a story behind this title… a while back one of my DIL’s brought dessert for dinner on a Sunday get together and when they arrived at our house, she told her oldest son (age 9) to tell me what they had brought for dessert. He declared: “Better than Hunting Cake!” (Remember, that this is our little hunter!) I found the recipe here, but I have adapted it a bit because it was little bit too brittle for me the first time I made it. So does anyone want to make this little delight? Better Than Sex Chex Mix 8 cups Chocolate Chex Cereal 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 6 Tablespoons butter 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup MINI Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups 1 cup mini marshmellows 1/2 cup caramel bits (found by the chocolate chips) or you can use regular caramel melted (I have used both and they are great!) 1 Tablespoon whipping cream 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips 1/2 cup white chocolate chips 1 tsp coarse sea salt or kosher salt Pour cereal into a large microwaveable bowl.
