FIVE villagers, including a young boy, were killed in western India overnight when they jumped into a dry well to save an injured pigeon that had fallen in, authorities said.

The boy was the first to jump in to rescue the bird and the others followed, trying to help him.

The tragedy took place in Jhalabordi village, about 90km from Ahmedabad, the main city in Gujarat state.

"Preliminary investigations show the deaths occurred due to suffocation," said DG Jhalawadia, a local government official.

I put this up here because it made me think what was that 5th guy thinking seeing 4 people just jump in a well and not come out to make him think he could do it and save them all.

How do you stop a baby falling down a manhole?


Stick a javelin through it's head.

if we get into the dead baby jokes I think I could single handedly get this board shut down.

we should probably use them sparingly so that we don't get this shut down... and so they'll always be fresh.
