It must be true...

I read it in the tabloids

An exasperated mother in China suffered a heart attack after repeatedly—and unsuccessfully—attempting to help her 9-year-old with his math homework. The woman, surnamed Wang, said, “I explained it to him many times, but he still didn’t get it. I was so angry that I could explode.” Suffering from shortness of breath and palpitations, she was rushed to the hospital and was treated for a heart attack. “She caught it in time,” said Dr. Yang Xiaoxue. “If there had been any delay, she could have suffered from heart failure.”

Paramedics in Ohio thought the worst after responding to a car accident in which the driver’s face, hair, and dress appeared to be covered in blood. Sidney Wolfe, 20, was actually returning from an event costumed as Stephen King’s Carrie, and had warned a 911 dispatcher, “I’m in Halloween makeup,” after her car hit a deer. But she said medics were still “taken aback” by her gruesome appearance. They all “thought I was dead,” said Wolfe, who suffered a minor leg injury. When a police officer drove up and saw her joking with the medics, he angrily said, “Are we going to ignore that this girl is gushing blood and needs medical assistance?” A NASA astronaut confounded election officials in his home county in Pennsylvania by listing his whereabouts on an absentee ballot application as “International Space Station, low Earth orbit.” Ed Allison, a voting official in Lawrence County, said his reaction upon reading Drew Morgan’s application was, “What?” But he said he then “started to get calls from NASA,” and resolved, “We have to get this done.” In the end, Morgan filled out a ballot and electronically transmitted it to Earth. “It certainly is unique,” Allison said.
