MUNCY TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- The Lycoming County coroner says a worker is dead after falling into a meat grinder at a processing plant near Muncy.
It happened at Economy Locker Storage Company in Muncy Township.
The coroner says Jill Greninger, 35, fell into the machinery around 11:30 a.m. Monday.
Well, at least it was economical.
And she doesn't need a casket or other funeral home stuff.

The Philippines was rocked with a 6.3 earthquake this morning that sent buildings swaying and people running for safety. But one of the most bizarre videos of the earthquake so far has to be this footage of water pouring out of a residential skyscraper in Manila’s Binondo district. According to local reports, that water is from a penthouse swimming pool.

When severe weather threatens, meteorologists use maps to show where storms are located and where they're headed. They want their audiences to know if they're in the path of the storm. But research has shown a substantial percentage of people can't place themselves on a map, a potential problem if a tornado or violent storm is bearing down on their location.
"If I were to give you a blank map with no labels, no highways, just county lines and state lines, could you draw a dot within 50 miles of your house?" he asked. "We've seen some studies which show about 85 percent of the population cannot."
Speaking of maps, what do you think your home address looked like 750 million years ago?

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - An intruder in high-heels made himself at home at a Portland woman’s apartment.
According to court documents, the uninvited guest took a shower and tried on the woman’s clothing and jewelry, all before being caught red-handed. The woman who lives there, Shauna, says her dog is the only reason the man is now behind bars.
22-year old Kye Phillips is now behind bars facing burglary and theft charges. Shauna says Phillips went inside her Portland apartment on April 8. She says the only reason he was caught is because her dog started barking at the stranger, eventually setting off the dog app on her phone.
Just keeping Portland weird....

The woman accused of sending a man more than 159,000 text messages after a single date — including death threats and her desire to bathe in his blood — says it’s “ridiculous” that she’s been jailed without bail since last year.
Who wouldn't want to marry her?
Apparently, that would be the object of her infatuation, who wants nothing to do with her, for some reason.
Ades insists jurors will not only find her not guilty, but they’ll also order that she and her alleged victim get hitched. “They’re going to say, ‘You’re not guilty and on top of it we, like, demand that you two get married,” Ades told the newspaper.
“I can’t believe that it turned into this,” Jacqueline Claire Ades told the Arizona Republic from Estrella Jail in Maricopa County prior to being found mentally incompetent to stand trial last month. “I can’t believe that I’m actually in jail over some text messages.”
There seem to be a lot of things that she can't believe.
Like reality, for starters.

APRIL 15--Armed with a water gun filled with his own urine, an elderly Florida Man squirted a woman several times as she walked her dog in front of his residence Saturday 
evening, according to a complaint affidavit.
Which is to say, the guy invented a water pisstol.
At least the water was recycled....
Avoid these sorts of incidents, people: always pick up after your dog!

British comedian Ian Cognito became ill on stage during a comedy performance Thursday evening in England.

Veteran stand-up comedian Ian Cognito has died on-stage - literally. The audience thought it was part of the act.
That's devotion to his trade.

An investigation has been launched after a Dutch fighter jet shot itself with its cannon, forcing the plane into an emergency landing.
I have no idea as to how one manages to accomplish such a feat; apparently the Dutch are really inventive.

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled in a 5-4 decision against a death row inmate in Missouri who claimed that his execution by lethal injection would cause him "severe harm and suffering" because he suffers from a rare disease. Justice Neil Gorsuch, who wrote the opinion for the majority, emphasized that the Eighth Amendment "does not demand the avoidance of all risk of pain" in carrying out executions.
Well, they could always put him in a bread truck:
CLACKAMAS, Ore. – One person died after a truck struck a propane tank and caught fire at a Franz bread location on Monday afternoon.
Man, don't you just hate Mondays?
And it's not as though the convicted murderer would miss out on much, as there is life after death:
Scientists have found evidence that suggests the human brain still works for a short time after death – meaning people know when they’re dead.
After the heart ceases beating, blood stops circulating to the brain and it begins to shut down. But this process can reportedly take hours to complete, leaving a window of time where a person is officially dead and still aware of what’s going on around them.
I've occasionally wondered about people who get their heads chopped off. Now we know.
Many may well go on to become "head of state"....

The words “what do you have to declare” took on a bizarre meaning at a Canada-U.S. border crossing on Sunday.
For a Quebec family, the answer was grandpa. The elderly man had reportedly begun to experience health problems at the beginning of the trip and died of a suspected heart attack somewhere along the way.
Somewhere between Florida and Quebec, he probably died of boredom.
