Killed by the same trees he was trying to save. How ironic.

That's what he gets for taxing those poor trees with a hammock! What was he thinking?

(Ok, I'm sorry he died, but this story is priceless!)

Tulsa law firm of Boone, Smith, Davis, Hurst & Dickman

Dickman? What an appropriate name for a law firm.

Blake Champlin, a Tulsa lawyer and environmental activist, died Monday at his home when a tree supporting a hammock fell and crushed him.

Wow. A two-fer.

How sad and ironic. This kind of reminds me of that guy that was mauled by a bear last year.

What about the poor tree? Not one word about it's suffering and the tragic cutting short of it's life. Did he do an environmental impact survey before placing two of Nature's grand feeling, aware beings in harms way to satisfy his slothful desires. I'll bet he was dreaming about buying a Hummer.

If a tree falls on an envirowhacko in the woods, will they make a grunt?

What more can be said - except that he should have used some pesticides on the tree - a long time ago.

Blake's last thoughts:
"You know, old tree old buddy, you've supported my rustic hammock lo these many years and though people think you're too old, too diseased to support even the weight of your mighty limbs; I just couldn't bear the thoug.....YE GODS!!!!"
