The Cowboys amassed 481 yards against a crippled Baltimore
defense. The Ravens had a grand total of 19:57 time of possession. The Cowboys totaled
227 yards rushing, the most against the Ravens since the franchise arrived in
Baltimore in 1996. The Ravens mustered only 1 yard on three offensive plays in
the third quarter. Yet, the Cowboys STILL lost.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Florida (AP) — The winner of a
roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the
live bugs as well as worms. About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday
night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach. The grand prize
was a python.
Edward Archbold, 32, won the contest but became ill
shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store. He was
taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting
for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.
"Unless the roaches were contaminated with some
bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to
eat," said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of
California at Riverside, who added that he has never heard of someone dying
after consuming roaches. "Some people do have allergies to roaches,"
he said, "but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects."
None of the other contestants became ill, the sheriff's
office said.
"We feel terribly awful," said store owner Ben
Siegel, who added that Archbold did not appear to be sick before the contest.
"He looked like he just wanted to show off and was very nice, he the life
of the party."
Siegel said Archbold was selling the exotic prize to a friend
who took him to the contest. The grand prize has been put aside in Archbold's
name and will be given to his estate.
A statement from Siegel's attorney said all the
participants signed waivers "accepting responsibility for their
participation in this unique and unorthodox contest."
The bugs consumed were from an inventory of insects
"that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled environment as
food for reptiles."
HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say a blaze
that displaced dozens of people from a southwest Michigan apartment complex may
have been sparked by a resident trying to cook a squirrel with a propane torch.
Fire Chief Jim Kohsel tells MLive.com that the resident
apparently planned to eat the animal and was burning off its fur on a
third-floor deck at the building in Ottawa County's Holland Township when the
fire broke out Wednesday. Flames spread to the roof. Kohsel says eight
apartments are destroyed and others damaged.
LONDON (Reuters) - British police apologized on Wednesday
for using a stun gun on a blind man after officers mistook his white cane for a
samurai sword.
Officers were responding to "a number of reports
that a man was walking through Chorley armed with a samurai sword", when
they confronted Colin Farmer, who was on his way to meet friends in a pub last
Friday, in the northern English town.
When Farmer, 61, did not respond to their calls to stop,
one of the officers used his taser stun gun, delivering a 50,000 volt shock to
the blind man.
"I certainly didn't know they were police - and I
certainly didn't know they were shouting at me. I thought I was going to be
attacked by some hooligans," said Farmer
Despite pleading with the police and telling them he was
blind, he was handcuffed. It then became apparent that this man was not the
person the cops were looking for and officers attended to him straight away
taking him to the hospital for treatment.
"Lancashire Constabulary deeply regrets what has
happened. We have clearly put this man through a traumatic experience and we
are extremely sorry for that."
Said the police Chief
Police later arrested a 27-year old man in connection
with the sword reports but released him without charge.
