The lure of the morbid. The fascination of really bad news. The strange thrill of things going spectacularly wrong. Tragic, sensational, spine-chilling, and addictively entertaining. In story after story, we meet the star crossed, the extremely unlucky, and the fatally foolish. Sure - it's grim, sometimes ghastly. But isn't it nice to know that someone, somewhere, had a worse day than you? Sh*t happens. Sometimes it's natural: The 65 dead townspeople who were unaware that tornados, unlike lightning, do strike in the same place twice. Sometimes it's supernatural: The woman who peels an artichoke only to have it explode in her hand. Delightful: A tanker truck carrying liquid chocolate splits open in a traffic accident, drawing children from mile around. Unexpected: A folding bed traps and nearly kills a man. And even, seemingly, cosmic justice: An incensed homeowner catches a mouse and decides to teach it a lesson by tying a kerosene-soaked rag to its tail and setting it on fire. The mouse flees; the man's house burns down.
