Self.comJenna woke up on her kitchen floor. Dimly, the California teacher
remembered bending over the sink, trying to swallow water. According to
the clock, that had been more than an hour ago. She fumbled
for her phone but couldn't think clearly enough to text for help."I
felt these horrible jolts running through my head and body; I couldn't
stop jerking," she recalled. "Then I began seeing stuff that wasn't there,
creepy-crawly things. I didn't know what was happening, but I worried I
might be dying."The previous morning Jenna, then 33, had inexplicably woken
up shaking."I'm usually pretty confident and outgoing, but I felt like I
couldn't leave my apartment," she said. "Somehow I made it to school.
My boss noticed the shaking and was concerned; I told him I
wasn't sure what it was and I went home early."There, things got
worse. Her twitching intensified, and she grew increasingly confused. Then
she passed out.Once Jenna regained consciousness, she hauled herself to
her sofa. Over the next two days she couldn't eat or drink,
and her mind drifted in and out. Finally, Jenna's mother stopped byand
found her daughter curled up in a fetal position on the floor,
clutching her cell phone, twitching uncontrollably."My mom dragged me to
the car and got me to the emergency room," Jenna said. "The
ER staff asked if I'd taken any drugs or alcohol, and I
told them I hadn't."When a nurse wanted to know what prescriptions she
was on, Jenna told th

are one of the few creatures on this planet who have the
capability of ignoring our basic survival instinct. We jump out of perfectly
good airplanes something that still sets off alarms in the most
veteran skydivers and we push ourselves to the edge of death
and back with physical demands on our bodies that defy reason with
activities like ultra-marathons in the desert, living in microgravity, and
setting the world record for holding ones breath under water.Yet as contradictory
as it sounds, testing these limits is probably what makes us feel
the most human or the most attuned to nature and our own
potential particularly when it comes to soaring above the skies, jumping
eight feet in the air and eating the most bizarre, even dangerous,
dishes set in front of us on the dinner table.What are some
of the deadliest foods the world has ever seen? Poisonous or harmful
by design, not accident, and something that has us questioning our sanity
when we choose to take a bite?iStockLike apples, cherry pits contain a
type of hydrogen cyanide called prussic acid. Don't go eating a cup
of ground pits, or peach and apricot pits for that matter.iStockRhubarb
leaves contain oxalic acid, which causes kidney stones. It'll take 11 pounds
of leaves to be fatal, but much less to make you seriously
ill.iStockNutmeg is actually a hallucinogenic. Yes, you can trip on i

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">NAIROBI, Kenya A Kenyan military spokesman says most Kenyan troops will
soon leave Somalia's port city of Kismayo which they have controlled since
September 2012 after ousting al-Qaida-linked militants.Col. Willy Wesonga
said Friday the Kenyan army will leave Kismayo "soon." Wesonga said
Sierra Leonean forces will replace the Kenyans who will move to the
Gedo region. He said only small Kenyan units will remain in Kismayo.The
announcement comes as Kenyan forces are accused of misconduct including
that they backed one Somali militia against others in Kismayo. The Mogadishu-based
Somali government demanded a more neutral force in Kismayo.Kenya is among
several African countries that have troops in Somalia in the African Union's
joint force that is backing the country's weak government against a rebellion
by the Islamic extremists of al-Shabab.
MECHANICSBURG, Ohio An Ohio man's family is fulfilling his dying wish
-- to be buried astride his beloved Harley-Davidson motorcycle.But it hasn't
been easy. The project required an extra-large cemetery plot to accommodate
a Plexiglas casket for Billy Standley and his 1967 Electra Glide cruiser.
Embalmers prepared his body with a metal back brace and straps to
ensure he'll never lose his seat.Standley's family said he'd been planning
it for years. He said he didn't just want to ride off
to heaven, he wanted the world to see him do it in
see-through casket. His sons began fashioning it about five years ago.The
Dayton Daily News reports that Standley of Mechanicsburg, west of Columbus,
died of lung cancer Sunday at age 82. He was to be
buried Friday.
