Teen compacted in Wis. garbage truck, survives
Canoe Weird News
"
MILWAUKEE - Police in Milwaukee say a teenage boy has survived after being accidentally dumped into the back of a recycling truck and compacted.
Police say the 14-year-old ran away from a boot camp-style school for teens Monday and hid in a recycling bin filled with cardboard. The bin was picked up by a waste management truck and dumped into the vehicle's rear compactor.
A waste management spokeswoman says the truck continued on its collection route, compacting cardboard several times.
The boy wasn't discovered until the truck dumped its load at a recycling processing centre.
He was semiconscious and was taken to a hospital, but police say his injuries aren't life-threatening

Name Change: Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined.
GEEKOLOGIE
"
A 19-year old British kid legally changed his name from George Garratt to Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined. Because, WTF, you only live once, right? Just kidding, this is my second go around.
"I decided on a superheroes theme and whenever my friends offered up suggestions to me, I added them." He added: "My family have begun to expect these sorts of things from me, and although my friends thought it was ridiculous most people do call me Captain and it's been a great conversation starter." A spokesman from The Legal Deed Poll Service, said: "We get so many outrageous name changes that these days it barely fazes us, but when this one was brought to my attention I knew there was something special about it."
Oh there's something special about it all right. Listen, Superman and The Flash are the only fast ones out of the bunch, so tacking on all those others is only increasing overall speed incrementally (and the time it takes to write your name exponentially). Snap -- your name just got learned, Captain Fantarded! Also, you're 19-years old man, come the fuck on. Teenager's new name is fantastic [bbcnews] Thanks to Chris, who wants to change his name to Captain Kickass Planet, and totally should.
