Tales of nonsense and items of little interest, sometimes true, always poorly thought through. Less sophisticated than most newspapers and magazines.

Disgraceful....

What sick kind of person would be giving tainted vodka to mongs? I can understand them not giving them the good vodka, as that would be a waste.....


Tainted vodka kills 11 in Mongolia New Year's celebrations

ULAN BATOR, Mongolia (AP) -- At least 11 people died and another 21 were hospitalized for drinking tainted vodka during New Year's Eve celebrations in Mongolia's capital, a government official said Tuesday.

An emergency has also been announced for Baganuur district of Ulan Bator where the deaths happened, city governor's office announced.

That means all shops were closed and further celebrations were banned, said Ganbold Khurlee, an official in the office. New Year's Day is also a holiday in Mongolia - a largely poor, landlocked country sandwiched between China and Russia.

He said tests showed that the vodka was made with methanol spirits normally used for nonfood purposes like cleaning.

"Relevant government agencies have determined that various vodkas produced by this company contained up to 30 percent methanol spirits," he said.

New Year's celebrations where vodka is widely consumed is a holdover from the days when Mongolia was a satellite state of the Soviet Union.

Make sure you swallow...

Methanol spirits? Did it overpower them with an urge to scrub floors before they succumbed?

I always swallow.

When I worked with crazy people (as a liaison to county mental health) I had a client who was bat shit loony, a serious bible thumper, and had survived a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The poor dear was also incontinent and had a serious crush on me. Anyhow, after I stopped working with him, I learned that he died from a tooth pick wound to the back of the throat. He was chewing on a tooth pick, while walking. He tripped and the tooth pick punctured the back of his throat and he bled out. How could such a wound produce death, one wonders . . . apparently he had been secretly drinking screwdrivers made with ispropyl alcohol for years. Moral of the story: drink quality hootch.

MJ - I always swallow. It was a fairly safe bet.

FH - Death By Toothpick? Wasn't that the title of Agatha Christie's unfinished Miss Marple novel?

Manuel - It was probably the British Government trying to wipe out a few more Catholics.

Bock - I refuse to make a martyr out of him. He can die old and feeble. Hopefully Parkinson's will get him. He is already showing signs of it.

Rita - Er....welcome. Please don't kill me. i read your first post. Which "fairly literate and funny people" were you referring to? Are you sure it wasn't on some other blog?

Fresh Hell said...

Actually a true story. His blood was so thinned by consumption of rubbing alcohol that there was no hope for him. Poor dear.
