MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A Mexican man who got drunk, fell asleep on railroad tracks and was run over by a train slept through the entire episode and escaped unharmed, local officials said on Friday.

Jorge Lozano Lopez, a 32-year-old electrician, did not regain consciousness until well after paramedics arrived on the scene late on Wednesday night.

"He must have been very drunk to have slept through all that,"


"I counted only six beers," a bewildered Lozano Lopez told local newspaper El Norte. "But who knows how many more there might have been. I don't remember."

2. I did something like this what 9 years ago

Geesh was it 9 years ago?

Anyway back when I was running everyday (in college) I ran from the house I was living in at the time down to the river (The James) and around Belle's Island. On the way back a train was running (VERY slowly) and it was going to take forever to get back across the tracks so I rolled under one of the cars and out the other side before the back wheels got there. If I had hesitated I might have lost my nerve and momentum.

Okay yeah it was dumb but it was pretty damned exciting.
