I tried not to laugh, but failed miserably. Sadly, this one has already bred.
From the Foxnews website:
Man Dies After Falling on Butcher Knife While Trying to Get Kids Out of Locked Car
Monday , August 25, 2008
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
A man who grabbed a knife to try to get his two young children out of a locked car died when he fell on the blade, Charlotte police said.
The Charlotte Observer reported that 22-year-old Miguel Angel Rivera Lemus died Sunday afternoon at Carolinas Medical Center after being stabbed in the chest.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police were investigating but said Lemus' death appears to have been an accident.
Lemus and his wife had dropped by their apartment briefly before planning an errand when they realized they had locked their children and keys in the car, authorities said.
The woman searched for spare keys and Lemus grabbed a large butcher knife he hoped to use to pry open a window, police said. Lemus fell down six stairs and landed on the knife, police said.
The woman got the children out with the spare keys.

Ranger abnhawk, I would like to thank you for inadvertently saving my ass today. As a fourth class cadet at USAFA, we are supposed to have 3 recent news articles memorized at all times. Unfortunately, this morning I found it more important to browse around on ArmyRanger.com for half an hour as opposed to reading up on the news. When I was asked for a news article today, I almost replied with "Sir, I do not have one," until this little bit of news popped into my head. I can now justify all the time I spend reading through the forum!
