Absolutely tragic, but the mind boggles - it's not a once a year Dawin Awards event, its every day. Very sad, but I also have to read them just to make sure I read the headline correctly.

Hehe. Well I know they are dumb, but that dumb really? Please tell what is the local news site if that is allowed on here. Thank you.

Note: this site is also remarkable in that the headlines change as the news story unfolds; this one is now "Snail drowns in pond, drowns man". Breaking news at its finest!

OK I figured out how to translate it. Those are two separate snail stories though. Both highly entertaining!

One story here, but many snails.
