Ooh, somebody else uses would that way. I got to wondering about that last week. It doesn't surprise that you do, Gillian, but it's just nice to see.

Bedbugs Becoming Nuisance In Cuyahoga County
Exactly how many cases does it take to be a nuisance?
I'm sure it depends on if they are in your own bed or not.

As one who works in a hotel... One. One case of bedbugs is a nuisance. The rooms have to be stripped down completely and everything gone over with a steam cleaner. Then you wait 10 days and do it again. then 10 more and do it again, then 10 more and do it again. Then you wait a week and make sure nothing hatches. Then, if you're lucky, you can put the room back together. Usually though, by the time you find one room, you have three or four others.

That's one of the reasons I commented on "who's bed".

Thank goodness. I thought they certainly faced a possible death.

I read this article only because the headline made me go hmmm ().

An article about infertile men passing on the bad genes? How does that work?

At least the article answered it.

But don't Kangaroo Rats live on Dune, which according to something I read somewhere, is around Canopus?

Headline: Chef dies after eating 'superhot' chilli for bet

Story body: well, an "amateur chef"...then he was described as a "fork lift truck driver"...

They are trying to say the chili killed him?

I'm sure a lot of people die after eating things and doing things.

When I was 3, I wet the bed. When I die- it will be after when I was three. Therefore, I died after wetting the bed. Maybe it killed me.

The cause of death is "heart attack" according to a report I read earlier (I didn't read this one--perhaps it said the same thing). I'd be surprised if chili peppers did that. There was talk of an "itch" before he died--makes me think--1. allergy (can that cause heart attack?), 2. circulation problem

This one listed it as a heart attack as well (Cardiac Arrest).
What gets me about it is that they keep saying he was Healthy before the Heart Attack.

Well, gee. I'm perfectly healthy today but if I have a heart attack tomorrow, I'll still be just as dead.

I can see how it may be possible that he had some (must be rare) allergy. But for the most part, I would think that it's either coincidence or the chili was spiked with strychnine.

Heh... I was going to post the version I read (Over here). Not for the situation, but for the following:

Would it be a proper meal if he hadn't eaten lamb chops or potato mash?

I'm sure the comment had something to do with either food interactions, or not on an empty stomach or something along those lines. But; why quote it if you have no clue why it was said?

And again:
Who wants to start at the bottom. Why was this said. Is there an additional reference unwritten about him not getting a job?

I think it meant he did not eat it as a full meal, because he had already eaten. Basically that it was more of a "snack".

And I didn't think about allergy; I suppose that could put stress on the heart. But they said he didn't die until the morning after...that's a heck of a long time for an alergy to kick in.

"He as healthy before hand, he even just passed a physical!". A lot of "healthy" people die from heart problems. Not all heart problems show up on a normal physical. I don't think the chili had anything to do with it.

Do you think that it was an indication of amount eaten?

It's hard to tell between the two stories. The OP one says:
Andrew Lee, 33, suffered heart failure the morning after he ate the chilli.
The Fox story says:
The following morning he was found dead, possibly after suffering a heart attack.
and...
The postmortem showed no heart problems.

One last comment (from the Fox story)
An inquest was opened and adjourned in Doncaster last week.
Inquest into what? and adjourned why? (possibly a UK/US translation issue)

yeah, maybe the inquest was "tabled"!

Based on how those silly English talk on the few UK shows I watch, not necessarilly and indication of how much was eaten, just a statement that it was not his dinner. The point of the statement? That I couldn't tell you.

But, we all know the butler did it. Case closed.

Not familiar with this sauce, but it sounds like a type of tomato sauce, if this is any measure:
