What the Hell Theatre - 7/15

A paralyzed London man staved off death on Tuesday by moving his eyes. Richard Rudd blinked just as doctors were ready to turn off his life-support machine. The 43 year-old lost the use of his limbs after he was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident last October. On Monday, his family believed he didn't want to live in his current state and gave doctors permission to withdraw treatment. Asked by doctors if he wanted to live, Rudd replied "Yes" by moving his eyes.

The U.S. Coast Guard picked up a Cuban man who floated into American waters aboard a homemade styrofoam boat. The unidentified man survived at sea for 25 days without any food or water. The Coast Guard says the man is dehydrated, but otherwise in good health. Government officials are now trying to decide whether or not to send the castaway back to Cuba.

Alan Henry recently spent 3 days in an Ontario, Canada jail for telling police his last name was 'Moron'. The 20 year-old gave cops the fake name after they busted him for drinking beer in a public parking lot. He was taken into custody because he was under a court-ordered curfew and alcohol ban.
