Dead Man's Dangling Legs Greet Couple Fri Jan 2,10:37 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!

SANTA FE, N.M. (Reuters) - A New Mexico couple returned home from a week-long vacation to find the legs of a dead man dangling from their ceiling, police said.

The man was identified as Carl Smith, 81, and he was the former husband of the woman who lived in the home, said Trish Ahrensfield, a spokeswoman for the Albuquerque police.

"He was stuck in an air conditioner duct," Ahrensfield said, adding a cause of death has not yet been determined.

Police said it appears the man was trying to break into the home from the roof and died while attempting to get in through the air conditioner duct.

The couple, who were not identified, said their home was cold when they returned on Tuesday and they went to the bathroom to see if the heater had been shut off. When they looked up, they saw the legs hanging from the ceiling.

At 81, he's a bit late to receive the prestigious Darwin Award.*

Unfortunately, it is highly likely that he had already reproduced and passed his stupid gene on to his progeny.

*The Darwin Award is posthumously awarded to an individual who removes him/herself from the gene pool before passing on the stupid gene.

At a certain age, it is better to use a bedpan than to go about in the dark.

I have no ideas on the official rules and regs of the Darwin Award.

However, I am absolutley positive that "DEAD LEGS DANGLING" is an excellent name for a rock band.

(As usual, apologies to Dave Barry)

Are you from Colorado? I didn't know anybody outside of Colorado knew about our famous canibal.

I think there was a punk band back in the 70s named "Alferd Packer". No, I'm not from that beautiful state but sure have heard of him.

Actually it IS a great name for a band.

Hmmn.

Conjures up all sorts of great song titles for a self-titled debut album too...

The real news story here is that someone with his apparent attitude and concept of propriety and ethical standards actually lived to be 81.

There is a sick bunch of ?men? who get together at a bar in Dolores, Co and glorify this sick canibal.

They are part of a club called E Clampus Vitas(sp). Their chapter is the Al Packer chapter.

Their application for membership asks questions such as: If you were lost in the woods with nothing to eat, would you eat your partner or be eaten by your partner?

I use to work for an office in Dolores that was owned by the "top dog" of the group.

I know two Clampers very well. Good friends, even if their spare-time pursuits ARE a bit off the beaten path.
