Yawn. So? A week away, and we are sure getting lame here. This is nothing w/o pix. I decapitated several taxi drivers yesterday, and no one cared.

Ambulance services attended at 12.40am and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

This is a job for Captain Obvious!

I must say, if you're going to off yourself, this method gets points for style. I wonder what the motive was. I suppose since this was listed as "another" decapitation, that this is becoming a trend? Oh and yes, quite a let down without a full color spread.

This is just a Florida dog walk gone wrong.

They were also trying to establish if the dead man was a genuine black-cab driver.

Was his skin color obscured by the lack of a head?

I’m going to guess you don’t know about black cabs.  London has an official certification for cab drivers.  Among other things, the certification includes a test that involves getting to obscure addresses on one-way narrow old streets covering the least distance possible.  There are similar official cabs in Paris that display the words Taxi Parisien.

As a foreigner, you should never get into a cab whose driver hasn’t been certified and gone through a background check.  Getting into a “gypsy” cab can cost a lot of wasted time, additional expense, and given the world we live in, possibly much worse.
