prleone: Believe me, this one was real. About two weeks ago, I was travelling past Wonders Hall when the news crews, police, etc., were there. I stopped, asked what was going on, and was told that a body had been found in a freezer in the basement. A picture of the cops removing the body was on the evening news and in the campus paper. I don’t remember the guy’s name, but his first name was one of those black African-esque names. They’re saying that no foul play was involved, and that he must have accidently gotten stuck in there. In any event, he was last seen alive in January, IIRC, so he was entombed for about nine months.
The football player was Dimitius Underwood, who recently became a rookie for the Miami Dolphins. He tried to kill himself by slitting his own throat (!), but didn’t succeed. The media tried really hard to make something of the fact that both Underwood and the dead guy went to the same church (in Lansing, MI) and called said church a cult. That whole angle seems to have petered out, though, and now I suspect it never had anything to stand on in the first place. The two events were most likely unrelated.
