Grasshopper Diet Led to Death by “Megacolon”
The size of the ancient man’s colon led Dr. Reinhard and his team of researchers to conclude that he was “severely constipated” and had suffered malnourishment as his body couldn t properly process foods. Now, in a museum statement by the same professor, about the same mummified remains, he has not only confirmed his earlier finding, that the poor man died from a horrible case of constipation, but according to an article in Live Science with “more advanced technologies the scientists have opened a dark window into this man s last months on Earth.” In conclusion, during the man’s last painful months “he ate mainly grasshoppers.”

Except these Christmas figures were actually undercover cops.
In an incident captured on video on Dec. 10, Santa Claus can be seen taking down a suspect while an elf has another down via gunpoint. The incident took place at a Target in the Canyon Springs Shopping Center in Riverside, Calif, when the undercover cops hunted some suspected shoplifters.
“We worked inside the store, identified shoplifters and when they split the scene, Santa was there to take them into custody,” Det. Paul Miranda told NBC Los Angeles.
According to Riverside Police, Santa and his elf sprang into action after Miranda witnessed a car being stolen in the parking while two other men fled the scene.

Man Who Lived 1000 Years Ago Had Fatal Constipation Due To ‘grasshopper Diet’
Scientists at University of Nebraska-Lincoln found that the man starved in the last two to three months of his life and consumed grasshoppers for protein.
In an unusual discovery, the US researchers found that a mummified man from Texas that lived almost 1000 years ago had consumed the grasshoppers to cure the tropical disease that swelled his colon about six times the normal diameter. The man, the resident of Rio Grande, suffered a fatal case of constipation as a result of it.
According to a study published in the journal Live Science, scientists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln found that the deceased man starved in the last two to three months of his life that he spent in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands of modern-day Texas. He, however, only fed on grasshoppers after his family plucked the extraneous bits like the legs from the insect’s body.
