The victim's body remained in the hole Saturday night, and efforts to extract it will resume this morning, Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Dena Erwin said.

The president of Biola University had a sermon he preached from time to time, the point of which (as I recall) was "no man knows his hour." He began it by relating a series of odd deaths -- like being hit by a part that fell off a passing jet, and the like.

No doubt this would go on that list.

"hole that opened up suddenly"

If a hole has to open up suddenly to become a hole, how can it be a true hole? Not sure we're getting the hole truth here. /s

bugmenot.com will give you passwords for various news sites without having to register. I guess I could have been a bit more clear. Sorry.

Don't fall asleep with the TV on.
Don't go toward the light if you hire a midget occultist.
Don't go in the swimming pool with floating corpses.
Don't build on Indian burial grounds.
Don't drink teguila with a live worm.
Don't piss off a cult leader.
