UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. - A bizarre death in Pierce County was caused by dry ice, according to investigators.

One woman died and another remains in critical condition after they were found in a car early Friday morning with four coolers of dry ice.

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department said an ice cream salesman kept coolers of dry ice in the back of his car. Investigators said his wife borrowed the car to take his mother home.

I think Douglas Adams had a better take.

Douglas Adams said:
They are one of the most unpleasant races in the Galaxy. Not actually evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders – signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

Oh, man... I can't breathe! ... I'm still laughing my butt off! ...

Centuries before the laughably poor Spanish fresco restoration or the ridiculed bronze statue of soccer God Cristiano Ronaldo, there was a stuffed Swedish lion that out-derped them all. The Lion Of Gripsholm Castle is the unsurprising result of a taxidermist being forced to preserve and stuff a lion without knowing what a lion actually looks like.
