indian express - january 24, 2007

from page 9 of the Indian Express (January 24, 2007, edition), tortured syntax entirely intact:

Bhadohi (UP): A man, who buried himself in a grave, had to be forcibly taken out by the local people after 12 hours, in Bhadohi district of Uttar Pradesh. According to sources, Mohammed Idris, a native of Bareilly, had buried himself alive at a graveyard at 'Shahar' Konwali area on Monday, as he wanted to have an experience of "death." The news spread like wildfire and a large number of people gathered near the spot and took Idris out alive of the grave.

[btw, if you check the "breaking news" on the front page of the website, you'll see that "Canadian Pig Farmer Denies Murder Claims". my first "news" from Canada since i left! glory!]
