Dead Man Woke Up During Own Funeral

Mourners at a recent funeral in Zimbabwe were caught by surprise when the guest of honor sat up in his coffin.

According to local reports, 34-year-old Brighton Dama Zanthe, the seemingly dead man, woke up last week while friends and family prepared to pay their respects at his home in Gweru.

"I was the first to notice Mr. Zanthe’s moving legs as I was in the queue to view his body. At first I could not believe my eyes but later realized that there was indeed some movements on the body as other mourners retreated in disbelief," Lot Gaka, one of the mourners and Zanthe's employer, told The Herald.

Fortunately, Zanthe woke up just in time; his body was set to be transported to a funeral parlor later that day. After Zanthe "resurrected" he was taken to a local hospital, where he remained on life support for two days before eventually being released.

Moms pay $1,000-a-day to hire disabled members to skip lines at Disney

Florida – Forget the FastPasses.  Apparently the secret to skipping the long lines  at Disney World is to hire a disabled person.

The New York Post is reporting that some deep-pocketed New York City moms are hiring a motorized  scooter-bound guide to pose as a family member so they and their kids can jump to the front of the lines.

According to the report, families book tours through an outfit called Dream Tours in Florida, which on its website claims to provide “quality  based, memorable, and affordable vacations, to people with special needs.”

The Disney guide charges $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day,  citing a Manhattan mom who claims she hired a tour guide using a motorized  scooter.
Disney allows each guest who needs a wheelchair or motorized scooter to bring up to six guests to a more convenient entrance.  Full Article
