Dear Readers, this potpourri comes to you from Ft. Myers, Florida, where it is cold & gray.
1. From West Palm Beach, across the state, comes this gem:
Choking Ruled in Death of Bug Eater
An autopsy released Monday showed that a man who died after winning an insect-eating contest choked to death after downing dozes of live roaches . . .

2. From Bulgaria:
Unruly Fans End a Match in Bulgaria
A volleyball match between host Levski Sofia of Bulgaria and Olympiakos of Greece was abandoned after home fans threw flares and other objects onto the court. "I've never seen anything like this," the Olympiakos spiker Boyan Yordanov said. "They threw beer cans and even a bottle of vodka at us."

3. From the USA's Brilliant Public:
Humans and Dinosaurs
Did they coexist? The Flintstones cartoon suggests yes. So did GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio, in a remark made weeks ago.
Should we dig deeper?
