WTF Stories of the Week

[Capt Jack]

have you looked at some of the rest of those?

thats almost forgiveable compared to more than a few shown there. Im praying a good portion of the rest of them are actually pen and ink and no human is such a moron, or so deep in self loathing that they would prefer to do that to themselves (as opposed to actually ending their life outright).

[Morrigoon]

You apparently haven't gotten to the blue lady. Go back further. Or don't, if you value your eyesight.

[SacTown Chronic]

All right, which one of you is TURD BURG'LR?




Blue Lady forgot her hands.....somehow, they're the most hideous part.

See, excessive marijuana use does nothing to impair one's judgment (http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/10/woody.harrelson.zombie/index.html)

[Pirate Bill]

After filming a movie about zombies you'd think he'd know that smashing the zombie's camera and pushing him in the face is not proper defense. They'll just keep following you...which apparently this zombie did.

Quoting from the article, emphasis mine:
"I wrapped a movie called 'Zombieland,' in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character," Harrelson said in a statement issued Friday by his publicist.

"With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie," he said.:eek:

Come.

On.

[Strangler Lewis]

I take that statement as flipping the bird to anyone who thinks he did anything wrong.

[Betty]

I'm amused.

[Capt Jack]

perhaps he's preparing an insanity defense?

[CoasterMatt]

Anytime I freak out at anybody, I'm just gonna say I thought they were a zombie.

Man pretends to fall off a bridge, but then actually does. When Susan and I were first dating, we were strolling around Balboa Island and talking. IN a playful moment, I dipped her over the edge. Unfortunately, I dipped just a little too far, but not so far as to go over the edge, into the water - we just lost balance. We literally spent about 10 minutes struggling to get our balance and back up on terra firma.

I guess they don't want an entire department to replace, but in the article I read about this it was stated that all of the parents gave their permission for him to taser their children. So why was only the one guy fired?

This was in Tallahassee. This explains everything.

[Tref]

I heard this story on the Howard Stern show this morning ... 911 operator hangs up on a young girl whose father is having a seizure after she uses a swear word. Young girl runs to the police station for help and is arrested by the same operator for ... uh, swearing?

To read the story, click here (http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_212228194.shtml)

[Ghoulish Delight]

And she only started swearing because it took her 3 tries to get through to 911, AND she wasn't even swearing at the officer initially, she was just muttering under her breath about how long it was taking to conncet when the douchebag finally picked up.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I am totally stunned. What the flying fück was he thinking?!?

[Alex]

Are we sure this is a real story?

A quick search is finding that this appears to have sourced to UK "humorous news" web site and hasn't been picked up by anything other than the blog Tref linked to.

Lincoln Park is a well populated suburb of Detroit (population over 40,000) so what sent my BS detector tingling is that I find it hard to believe that they only have a single 911 operator who is also apparently manning the front desk at the police station.

Not saying it is false, just that I'm finding it odd that the only published places I can find it are all blogs ultimately referencing the same questionable publication in UK.

[Alex]

Never mind, of course the very next link provides the clue. It originally happened and was reported last October so that's why it isn't coming up in any of my news searches.

See now that it was a different police officer that arrested her because of the reports the 911 guy had put out. Still odd though that he's apparently their only operator.

Mr. Stern must just be slow in reading his newspapers from Michigan suburbs.

[Tref]

Are we sure this is a real story? Lincoln Park is a well populated suburb of Detroit (population over 40,000) so what sent my BS detector tingling ...

Sounds like that tingling may have been coming from someplace else.

[Alex]

Hey I admitted that just because my tingler was tingling didn't mean anything was necessarily tingleworthy.

Texas hospitals charging sexual assault victims for rape detection kits
"As if coming forth with an allegation of sexual assault wasn't demeaning enough in many parts of North America, Texas has quietly decided to allow hospitals to charge a fee as high as $1800 to victims for the rape kits used to prove an attack ..."


to read the story, click here (http://www.vancouversun.com/travel/Texas+hospitals+charging+sexual+assault+victims+ra pe+detection+kits/1581267/story.html)

[cirquelover]

Umm, Wow! That is crazy to charge the victim that much, or anything at all really. I'm just floored!

[Kevy Baby]

Well, considering how many women claim rape to cover up for their being sluts, I think the charge is warranted.

[Stan4dSteph]

Well, considering how many women claim rape to cover up for their being sluts, I think the charge is warranted.Excuse you?

Okay, I thought that the post was ridiculously over the top enough to be obvious that I was not serious. My apologies if anyone was offended.

When I first read it I thought of saying "You are joking, right?" but then realized that you definitely were not serious. That said, even though I knew you were not serious, thank you for apologizing.

[blueerica]

Kevy, sorry to not have read this sooner, but I found it quite funny.

Plus, if you were this way, I'd never consider you a friend, and I think I'd have figured that out over the last several years.

A snake's mouth isn't always clean.Does that mean sometimes a snakes mouth is clean? Are snakes known to gargle with Listerine?

[Alex]

I've been bitten by snakes many times (my own and wild ones). I don't know if their mouths were clean but they were clean enough that nothing bad ever happened.

[cirquelover]

I guess that's why you should always look in the toilet before you sit down, yikes!

If you define a child holding an adult sized item as "quasi-work safe" then I believe it's clearly evident that I do not understand the meaning of the word "quasi"

Very poor show.

PCP, fun for the whole family (http://www.bakersfieldnow.com/news/local/45185112.html)

This story is horrifying.As soon as I saw the headline, I closed the window. Really don't need to read about it.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

The horrifying part isn't what the father currently did:
More than 20 prior criminal cases can be found for the father in court records, including a no contest plea in April 2006 on misdemeanor willful cruelty to a child. He was placed on probation at that time.
He actually was allowed to have custody of a child after that. :mad: What is wrong with our legal system???

[Strangler Lewis]

I didn't read the story, but I assume it was a different kid.

While felons lose the right to vote and can't own firearms, and while parental rights can be terminated, we don't say to serial abusers of women and children--or Mickey Rooney and Liz Taylor--that they are banned from forming personal or parental relationships. Fundamental rights, probably, slippery slope and so on.

[Alex]

Actually it might be better to just sacrifice the current kid he has and write it off as a lost cause rather than taking them away so that he moves on to serially ruining children.

Sure, that one might whine but then we should just mock it for its selfishness.

[Mousey Girl]

This is life in Bakersfield. CPS follows up on people like me, but yet let kids live with people like him, without a backwards glance. In all honesty Bakersfield is very racist. If that man was white the kid would have been taken away. I know how harsh that sounds, but that is the way it is.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Dude, I don't know about your workplace, but you shouldn't see that at work. :)I shouldn't see that, period! ;)

[Mousey Girl]

CPS is now being investigated. So far it has been revealed that 3 years ago the father was under suspicion of child abuse/endangerment and was still allowed to maintain custody. Everyone seemed to know the father had a history of drug abuse, but no one did anything about it.

The boy's uncle is trying to get pemanent custody of the boy. Nothing has been said about the mother.

Carbon Neutral Expedition (http://carbonneutralexpeditions.com/the-expedition/)

A team of adventurous Brits came up with the bright idea to be the first to ever cross Greenland while remaining completely carbon neutral, starting with a carbon neutral solar powered sail boat.

So how'd it go? Ummm, the sailboat capsized, knocking out their solar power cells and leaving them adrift. But no worries they were rescued. By and oil tanker.

I like it too.

From the article:
"Vigilantism is never a good thing," said Bernard Gonzales, public information officer for the Chula Vista, California, Police Department. He's had some interactions with real-life superheroes. "The very best thing a private citizen can do is be a good witness."
I disagree with that (but I'm not cop, so what do I know). If my wife/sister/daughter/complete stranger is being raped I'd rather have someone step in and put a stop to it than just be an eye witness. Criminals would be more scared to commit crime if they thought there was someone who would put the beatdown on them. Like airplane passengers vs terrorists, law abiding citizens outnumber violent criminals and we can take them down.

On the other hand, who watches the Watchmen? Also, it could escalate into an arms race between criminals and heroes. Would there have been a Joker if there wasn't a Batman? Violence begets violence and all that.

It's a moral dilemma, but I side with the heroes. At least their hearts are in the right place.

[Betty]

I like it. People looking after people. If they are genuinely one of the "good guys" anyway.

Now the question is - if you were a superhero - what would your name be?

[Capt Jack]

it could escalate into an arms race between criminals and heroes.

all the more reason not to outlaw arms for the law abiding, eh?

Rancher Wins $232 Million in Lottery
PIERRE, S.D. (June 5) - A 23-year-old rancher whose family has fallen behind in their taxes and recently had a mobile home repossessed claimed a $232.1 million Powerball jackpot on Friday, one of the largest undivided jackpots in U.S. lottery history.Whole story (http://news.aol.com/article/rancher-wins-powerball/516332).

But my favorite part of the article:
Dave Assman, who owns farmland next to the Wanless' ranch, said he's happy they won't have to worry about money again.

"They've been real short on finances for a long time," Assman said. "They are from real meager means, I guess you'd say."Yeah, it's juvenile to laugh at that, but I needed it today.

POCATELLO [ID] - A same-sex couple and their three foster children were denied a reduced admission price to a pool in eastern Idaho because the Lava Hot Springs State Foundation says the five don't fit the definition of a family.



Amber Koger and Jeri Underwood say they and their three children were recently denied the resort's advertised family admission price.


Mark Lowe, executive director for the Lava Hot Springs State Foundation, says the state doesn't recognize gay or lesbian marriage and defines a family as one male, one female and children.


He says as a state agency the foundation must follow Idaho law.


But Monica Hopkins of the American Civil Liberties Union in Boise says state code defines marriage but has no universal definition of a family.

[Alex]

If they don't request evidence from every group getting the family rate that the two adults are legally married and that children are genetically related to one of them, then it seems to me that they (the pool) haven't much of a defense.

If they do, do that then on with their assholery.

Clearly, Chad doesn't know what a "Brokeback Mountain" relationship entails... or does he!?!
Chad Ochocinco from Bengals.com (http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/chad-i-need-fans/f2c5f239-a796-4a2e-95bc-0e452ce3380b) speaking on his relationship with QB Carson Palmer:
The Ocho said he spoke to quarterback for about "40 to 45 minutes" for the first time since the end of the season.

"I know people are trying to say we're mad at each other and all that, but we're good," he said. "We're like Brokeback Mountain. I'm going to be with Carson so much in July that I'm going to be the nanny (for his new twins).

Perhaps Mark is actually trying to do them a favour. By doing this, the case gets media attention and the stupidity of the whole "you're not a family" thing gets in peoples mind. It could help folks reasses their opinion on family... maybe?

Why some of the best tattoo artists in the world look something like that. Though, while it isn't a look that I'd go for, if he's happy with it I think he looks pretty good. And so does she, though obviously she's not mature enough to have been making the decision to get them.

The more important lesson is, if you aren't going to stand up to disapproving relatives, don't get any tattoo let alone a facial one.

TeeTee, back when that movie Meteor came out, they plastered the loooong side of a building right abutting the 405 Freeway thru West L.A. with one of the first of those building-size graphic overlays. Hardly anyone had seen one before.

It was an overlay of a HUGE meteor hole through the entire building, knocking out like 14 floors, with a fantastic painting of exactly what it looks like going south on the 405 facing the soutbound lanes, and a different painting of the northern view for the northbound lanes.


Um, one multi-car pile-up later, and that advert was down within the week. I don't think anyone was killed, but WTF were they thinking to mess like that with drivers on the San Diego Freeway?

A man unsuccessfully sues Burning Man organizers for failing to prevent him from getting too close to a giant bonfire:

http://www.loweringthebar.net/2009/07/court-man-burned-at-burning-man-assumed-risk-of-being-burned-by-burning-man.html


Beninati's complaint stated that when he approached the bonfire, the flames were still roughly 40 feet high. He walked around the bonfire three times, each time "circl a little closer to the fire." Eventually, he walked still closer, into what was variously described as an area of "embers," "low flames," "burning remnants," and "a spot where there was fire on either side of him." Basically, he had walked [I]inside a huge bonfire. Then, as you might have expected, he tripped on something and fell into the actual fiery part of the bonfire, burning his hands.


In his deposition, Beninati admitted he knew "fire was dangerous and caused burns" before he walked into one. He knew there was some possibility of falling into said fire. He admitted no one affiliated with the defendants asked him to walk into the fire or told him it would be safe to do so. But he testified that he did not think it would be dangerous to walk into the fire, although he knew it "was not 'absolutely safe, because there [was] a fire present.'" And, as noted, fire is hot.

An 88 year old had a stroke while on the phone with a friend. The friend hung up and called 911. Medics showed up, found the door locked, so they broke a window to get in. Now she's filing a claim for <$1000 to repair the door and scratches on a piano that was under the window they broke. :rolleyes:Linky no worky

Weird, it got all out of whack, not sure what happened. Link fixed now.

Mint Slim-Jims? Eww.

Try these (http://hlc.merchantcart.net/mainshopping.cfm?icg_id=129&showsku_ID=2881&Show=PURCHASE), instead. :)

Uncle Oinker's... lol!

Geesh. That granny should have asked for community help to fix her window rather than raising a stink about it to the city, in addition to the light scratches on her piano. If she was really that destitute, people would have chipped in to replace the window - even a glass company would have donated it for the publicity.

For going this route, she should have to pay it herself and be thankful she's still alive.

[innerSpaceman]

Not at all ... I thought of that as soon as I read the post, before clicking on the story.

The question remains, what does he know and when did he know it?

Afterbirth: It's What's For Dinner (http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1908194,00.html)


Most mammals, Cassandra explained, eat their placentas, to which I countered that most dogs eat their poop. I stopped arguing there, figuring that like many of Cassandra's hippie ideas — the compost bin, rubbing lemon on her underarms instead of deodorant — she'd give up on this in a few weeks. Even as the due date approached and she was still set on eating her placenta, I couldn't imagine that she'd remember to request it from the doctor after the most physically draining experience of her life. This is a woman who, 9 times out of 10, forgets the bag of leftovers at the restaurant.

Afterbirth: It's What's For Dinner (http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1908194,00.html)Wow. The video is funny too.

I didn't realize that afterbirth was so...solid. I thought it was more like jelly.

I think I've posted this before, an oldie but a goodie.
