THERE ARE WORSE WAYS TO GO THAN BEING CRUSHED BY GARLIC

WARSAW, May 8 (Reuters) - A sexually excited stallion bit a Polish man to death when he tried to calm the beast which had become uncontrollably aroused by a nearby mare, police said.
"The 24-year-old man, identified as Robert R., was bitten when he tried to calm his horse which had become unsettled by the presence of a mare in the vicinity," a duty officer in the Baltic port of Szczecin told Reuters.
The horse went wild and began straining and bucking while pulling a farm cart through the village.
An autopsy would determine whether the direct cause of death was a severed jugular vein or damaged spine, the officer added.

I've never understood the fascination some have with horses. What is the point of inventing the internal combustion engine if you're then going to sit on 1,000lbs of unpredicatable animal to get around the place. I mean they are quite pretty in a stupid-and-pointless sort of a way, but they are totally unnecessary and riding them seems a ludicrously dangerous way to get around given their penchant for throwing people off (just look at christopher Reeve to see what I mean).

But this surely has to be a new one. What a way to earn your 15 minutes of fame. Bitten to death by a horny horse.
