Of all the weird ways pro wrestlers have died ...

The page itself is not particularly interesting, but anytime a pro wrestler is killed over cigarettes by the Canadian mafia, it should be noted. The "death" section is what packs the punch.

Also, you know, the fact that there's a Canadian mafia ...

The 1990s industrial rock band Filter had a hit single "Hey Man Nice Shot" about Dwyer's suicide.

Did not know. I referenced this in another thread this weekend, but my friend's band also made a track about Bud

Buddy of mine at work today brought in a 50 pound beaver he trapped last night so I got curious. These are some engineering mother rough riders.

People bring in beavers to where you work?

I've always liked beavers more than most animals for some reason. I was pretty pisse when my buddy's gpa slaughtered a whole mess of them one year.

Speaking of animals

Pretty fascinating one coming out of Washington in 2005. GF went to college at Western Washington around this time and it happened nearby. Pretty NSFW.
