(Via Wog Blog) AFP reports that Baklava kills man:
A TURKISH man died after eating two kilograms of sweets following a bet with a friend, Anatolia news agency reported.4.4 lbs. is rather a lot, but I am hard pressed to figure out why it killed him. (Unless he was a diabetic, which would clearly make him a Darwin award finalist.) In any case, skip the fruitcake, I'll take baklava!
Necati Ceylan, a 45-year-old father of five, died in hospital in the southern city of Gaziantep after spending three weeks in coma, the agency said.
Ceylan was hospitalised last month after eating two kilograms of baklava, a traditional Middle Eastern dessert with heavily sugared syrup.
He won the bet.
