Friends help you move. Real friends grant your request for them to shoot you.

Pic of hurr dog.

They say curiosity killed the cat and it’s true that too much inquisitiveness can be deadly, or at least very very painful. One young man with more curiosity than common sense decided he wanted to know what it felt like to be shot with a gun.

So he pestered his best friend until the friend . . . → Read More: Friends help you move. Real friends grant your request for them to shoot you.

I'm right there with you on that one, Chuck.

Some folks will do anything for their brief moment in the spotlight. Take for example Detroit area counterfeiter Kenny “Boom” Smith who is a big fan of the reality show Hardcore Pawn which is filmed in Detroit at American Jewelry and Loan. He wanted to be on the . . . → Read More: Dumbass counterfeiter wants to be on “Hardcore Pawn” so badly he gets himself busted.

What the fuck, PayPal?

Does this make any sense to anyone who isn’t A) a PayPal employee or B) brain damaged? I think the seller has decent grounds for a lawsuit.

Arizona’s Birther bill goes from stupid to batshit crazy.

Pic of hurr dog.

The average Arizonian legislator. *NotMeantToBeAFactualStatement.

The whole birth certificate horse has been beaten beyond death into a pulpy pile of unrecognizable gore, but that doesn’t mean the Republicans are going to stop whacking at it anytime soon. Over in Arizona they just passed what they’re calling the Birther Bill, which is pretty stupid to . . . → Read More: Arizona’s Birther bill goes from stupid to batshit crazy.

April Fools prank goes badly for local woman.

Facepalm

I generally don’t care for commercial radio, but NPR has been on a Libya kick the past few days and I was, frankly, sick of hearing about it so today was one of those rare days that I voluntarily turned on a commercial station.

Just as I was pulling into a parking spot at work . . . → Read More: April Fools prank goes badly for local woman.

SEB Safety Tip: Life doesn’t have a reset button.

Pic from the video game Frogger.

Kinda like this, but more painful.

Look, I’m as big a video game nerd as the next one, but even I know that it’s a bad idea to try and recreate a video game in real-life:

CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson police said a game ended up with a 23-year-old man struck by an SUV.

SEB Safety Tip: If you’re going to light your socks on fire, don’t stomp on gasoline soaked carpets.

Pic of idiot with his sock on fire.

This is not the stupid teen from this story, but a completely different stupid teen doing the same thing.

Not that I can imagine a situation where you would have a need to set your socks on fire while wearing them, but if you do then it’s probably a good idea to not do . . . → Read More: SEB Safety Tip: If you’re going to light your socks on fire, don’t stomp on gasoline soaked carpets.

Lots of stupid people go nuts for new Air Jordan sneakers and end up being maced.

Pic of crazed shoppers.

It's gotta be the shoes!

I admit that I have no sense of fashion so it probably comes as a surprise to no one that I can’t envision ever spending $175 on a pair of sneakers. Or, for that matter, camping out in a line to be the first to buy them.

But apparently . . . → Read More: Lots of stupid people go nuts for new Air Jordan sneakers and end up being maced.

U.K. woman dials emergency services to report stolen snowman.

Over in the U.K. when you want to report a fire or a robbery you pick up the phone and dial 999 and are immediately connected to helpful personnel who will assist you with whatever the emergency happens to be.

And, just like here in America, they have to deal with the occasional idiotic call:

Here’s proof that if you believe in yourself, you can do anything.

Ah, the power of belief! Some say you can move mountains with it. Others that you can alter the flow of rivers.

But you have to learn to crawl before you can walk so you should probably start with a small-scale test of your belief in yourself. Something simple like, say, breaking a board over . . . → Read More: Here’s proof that if you believe in yourself, you can do anything.
