An Italian man has been crushed to death under thousands of vast wheels of a parmesan-style hard cheese, which weigh about 40kg each, firefighters have said.

    My condolences to his family, that must have been a horrifying experience and I’m sorry for their loss. Human moment out of the way, I almost thought this was an Onion article. That headline is hysterical.

      If we don’t truly die until we’re forgotten by the living, he’s gonna live a long time as the ancestor that passed away at the hands of cheese wheels.

        That’s a very philosophically positive way of thinking about it!

        He’s going to haunt those hallowed cheese halls. Some one bust out the Luigi board.

          Luigi board

          Is that the Italian version of a Ouija Board?

      Yeah, I sort of feel like something like this would be a horrifying death process followed by an afterlife of “yeah, ok, that was a pretty funny way to go out.”

      You can only hope that the end arrives quickly with something like this.
