Dead Again
A Cautionary Tale About The Dangers of Desk Fans
(London, UK) A female office worker had to be rushed to hospital when her hair got caught up in the rotating blades of a desk fan, causing lacerations to her scalp and severe blood loss. Secretary Emily Hutnyk, aged 24, who works at a multinational telecoms company in central London, used the fan to try and cope with the record-breaking heatweave that recently struck the United Kingdom . Temperatures in London soared to a record-breaking 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) in early July, leading to unbearable working conditions in many workplaces. As many of us frequently do during the summer, Miss Hutnyk decided to use a desk fan while she worked to try and keep cool. Since desk fans are notoriously inneficient at cooling in very high temperatures, she repeatedly moved the appliance closer to her face. Tragically, her long hair suddenly got pulled in between the fan grilles and trapped in the blades with horrific consequences. It only took seconds for a large amount of hair and skin to be forcefully torn out of the girl’s head by the rotating blades of the fan. “I hardly remember it to be honest”, admitted Miss Hutnyk when interviewed later, “I think I passed out within seconds – it was my poor colleagues who had to watch it happen. I think my co-workers were acutally the traumatised ones – apparently my blood went everywhere.” She was rushed to the nearest hospital by ambulance, where she was treated for blood loss, scalp wounds and shock. Doctors are said to be considering hair implants to repair the damaged scalp once the wound has healed fully.
A spokesperson from the company said: “This was a tragic accident and we take full responsibility for not providing proper cooling facilities in the office. We will be fitting each office with a ceiling fan and banning the use of desk fans to prevent these kinds of incidents in the future.” However a representative from the office workers trade union GMB called this measure unacceptable. “The problem is that offices are not equipped to deal with such high temperatures, and ceiling fans won’t do it. We are demanding that every office in the UK be fitted with proper air conditioners both to help people concentrate on their work and ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again.” The advice from union officials to Miss Hutnyk is to sue her employers, as this constitutes a breach of health and safety law.

Evil Dead [VHS] $4.00 In the fall of 1979, Sam Raimi and his merry band headed into the woods of rural Tennessee to make a movie.

Ash (cult favorite Bruce Campbell) and four friends arrive at a backwoods cabin for a vacation, where they find a tape recorder containing incantations from a… |

Dawn of the Dead [VHS] $2.90 George Romero’s 1978 follow-up to his classic Night of the Living Dead is quite terrifying and gory (those zombies do like the taste of living flesh).

This time, we follow the fortunes of four people who lock themselves inside a shopping mall to get away from the marauding dead and who then im… |
