News in Brief: Monk Mangled by Unmanned Mower
A Buddhist monk in England suffered a tragic accident when his riding lawnmower decided to take off without him. The brave brother chased down the mulching monstrosity, but slipped at just the wrong moment, and was dissected by the whirling blades.
Ironically, Revered Handa, the victim of the marauding machine, suffered a previous injury in a very similar way. Ten years ago, another mower claimed three of his fingers.
Investigators said that it was a freak accident; the hand brake had failed, so it was impossible to keep the blasted thing still without turning it off.
The path of wisdom revealed here: always make sure your equipment is working before you try to use it.
