BBC - A Florida man choked to death in October after eating dozens of live cockroaches in a contest to win a python, an autopsy has found. The body of Edward Archbold, 32, tested negative for drugs and Broward County medical examiner ruled the death was an accident caused by “asphyxia”. Archbold collapsed and died soon after the promotional event at a pet store in Deerfield Beach, Florida. No other illnesses were reported among some 30 competitors. Archbold died of “asphyxia due to choking and aspiration of gastric contents”, the Broward County medical examiner’s office found. His airway became obstructed with “arthropod body parts”. The grand prize for the contest winner was a python, and Archbold had planned to sell the snake to a friend, according to the owner of the Ben Siegel Reptile Store.

A cockroach eating contest = 1 Florida

A first place python prize = 2 Floridas

A death = 1 Florida

Add it all up, and this story gets 4 Floridas out of 5. The first place python is really what bumped it up. If I’m doing a cockroach eating contest the first place prize better be no less than 1 billion dollars. People in Florida going out for a brand new free snake. Unreal.

As for the rest of the show: Woman kills her husband and feeds him to a dog (real nice, lady!), France legalizes protitution but not paying for prostitution, Transgender man turns into a female and now is turning into a dragon, oh and the world is ending in a week. Plug in juice up.
