1992 Was a Very Strange Year

 In January of 1992, a widow from Wakefield, England killed herself with a paracetemol overdosewhen she was told by her local garage that her car was beyond repair. Later in the same month, Frenchman Claude Jules stopped his car to try out his new toupee. He applied special glue, fixed it in place then lit a cigarette. The glue fumes ignited and the car exploded, killing Claude instantly.

In May, four boys in the Algerian town of Maghnia died after eating soup. Unknown to their mother, she had brought home vegetables with a snake hidden in them. Once inside the fridge, the snake, seeking somewhere warmer, had slithered into the soup and discharged its poison into the bowl.

In the month of June, a bingo caller, Michael Cave, 65, shouted out ‘number 8, pearly gates….’ then promptly fell dead from a heart attack.

October found an old vagrant woman in the Ukraine town of Donetsk looking for food or drink. She picked up what she thought was a can of beer and tore off the tab. Unfortunately for her, it was not a can but a grenade and she had pulled out the pin. It blew her to pieces and badly injured seventeen bystanders

Finally, in November, Vera Czernak from Prague, Czech Republic, threw herself from her third storey window after she thought that her husband had cheated on her. Unfortunately she landed on her husband who was passing by below. Vera recovered in hospital but her husband died instantly.
