Dead and alive


Wacky stories from around the world have a habit of turning up on our shores.
This tale of 'man turns up at own funeral' is a classic after the family identified a disfigured car crash victim as their kin.
The whole picture falls into place when we hear that the unfortunate Brazilian brickie Ademir Jorge Goncalves had spent the previous evening drinking pinga, a spirit made from distilled sugar cane, with friends.
I'm sure we've all had nights like that but walking into your own funeral must have been the ultimate sobering experience.
