It is possible to wake from the dead, as reported by www.iol.co.za. In Angol, Chile, an 81-year-old man sat up in his coffin during his own wake, surprising his grieving relatives. The man asked for a glass of water and told his loved ones that he wasn’t in any pain, even though his body had been limp and cold. His family had believed he was dead after finding him and didn’t call the doctor, instead choosing to prepare him for burial. They immediately removed him from the coffin and brought him a glass of water.

Baseball players definitely aren’t immune to weird injuries. According to CBC Sports Online, players in 2005 suffered from some interesting ailments. Minnesota Twins’ Terry Mulholland scratched his eye on a feather from a hotel pillow, Chicago Cubs’ Mike Remlinger broke his pinky finger after he got his hand caught in two reclining chairs, and Colorado Rockies’ Clint Barnes broke his collarbone carrying deer meat up the stairs.

Baseball players aren’t the only athletes who experience weird injuries. According to Sports Illustrated online, soccer player Paulo Diogo tore his ring finger off when his wedding ring got caught on a fence that Diogo hurled at fans, and basketball player Drew Gooden checked himself into the hospital for a spider bite, but it turned out to be only an infected leg hair.

Also, a 14-year-old lacrosse player died after being struck in the chest with the lacrosse ball. As his heart stopped, he had time to pick up the ball and throw it back, and then he died. Doctors said he died of blunt force trauma to the part of his body that covers the heart and stomach. This type of injury is the second highest cause of sudden death in young, male athletes, according to www.aheartylife.com.

And finally, sometimes its weirder when horrible accidents happen and they don’t result in any injury at all. According to www.WeirdAsiaNews.com, an 85-year-old man fell five stories after he rolled off his bed and out the window. He landed on the roof of a shed and then fell to the ground, but suffered no injuries.
