Aye, there be squirrls ahead! :argghh:

Parts of it are quite nice. Parts of it are overload.

What, having squirrel tits? Which parts aren't overload?

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

Quote:

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[ing] 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 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.

I think I was reacting to the wrong link there... wasn't there a discussion on a hideous Hello Kitty house going on? I could swear we had a discussion on that... maybe I was reacting to comments on the video. Weird. Sorry about that ;)

edit: Ah... the hello kitty discussion was on the previous page, that's what I was talking about

Thank goodness! If he had won, It would have been a bitch trying to afix warning labels to fire.

CNN has a long report about the funeral arrangements and will of Michael Jackson. I found the last two paragraphs to be particularly amusing. :evil:

Quote:

In the day's final development, a London woman filed a 93-page handwritten document in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming she was Jackson's secret wife and the mother of all three of his children.

In asking for all of Jackson's assets, the woman also added: "I have up to 30 children. My Father (Satan the Devil) Khalid Lucifer as he is known, gave them to us."

Interesting. Now, if she could just tell us who the father of his children is, because after seeing the photos it certainly was not Michael Jackson.

"OUCH" doesn't even come close!!!

This is definitely cringe worthy! :eek:
