WTF Stories of the Week
 

Woman sits on boyfriend's toilet for 2 years

Girlfriend was physically stuck to the seat — her skin had grown around it
The Whole Story


I was almost tempted to not post this story because of the obvious mental illness the woman suffers from. But it was just so odd.

And then:

Answers elusive in case of body on ice

I'm not sure what part of the story to quote. Basically, they bust a guy who is a suspected drug dealer. Turns out he has been living in a $200 per night room for years. His druggie girlfriend at some point died - possibly a year ago - and he has kept her in a Rubbermaid container on dry ice, in his hotel room, presumably since her death.

It's a really weird story!

The toilet thing is really sad, but I think it's unfair of them to charge the boyfriend for it. I mean, unless she was declared incompetent at some prior point in their relationship, and he was established as a guardian, I don't think it's really his burden to tell a grown adult what to do or force her to do it.

For the most part I agree. However, if a person is unable to make rational decisions for themselves and their life and/or health are in jeopardy, then the person does have a moral (if not legal) obligation to intervene.

one would like to think so, yeah

sadly it doesnt always work out that way. it can take an awful lot to finally push a person from

"ok, you're a grownup...you can do what you want even though we both know its not good for you and eventually its gonna blow up in both our faces"

to

"F*** this! Youre getting help even if it kills us both"

at least shes getting help.
he likely needs just as much help in one form or another

Updated link at the bottom of the story page.

Apparently, the sheriff thinks the boyfriend should be charged.

And wouldn't you know it - updated again. Same stuff, though, except the sheriff's recommendation is a bit more formal sounding.

A new one today: German woman goes in for knee surgery, accidentally given an artificial sphinctor instead. Paging Leo...

Wow.

Wow indeed.

And in case you wanted all of the details on what exactly an artificial anus is (from Free Patents Online):

ok, thats it. if anything goes wrong on me, leave it the 773H alone!
not even sure I trust my dentist at this point

Man, it must be pretty uncomfortable to have to kneel on the toilet seat to take a crap.

Moral, not legal. Generally speaking, there is no legal requirement to help another person in jeopardy. (or in wheel of fortune, for that matter)

Yes, where is our resident sphincter specialist when we need him for informed commentary?

WTF?!

Who dat?

He's having knee surgery

Goodness, the man's falling apart. We need a replacement neo-con in these parts to taunt.

Horse thwarts Hawaii hospital's visitation rules

Animal rides elevator to drop in on patient before security stops it
Wait a minute: you aren't allowed to take a horse into a people hospital?

The whole story

I like how the headlines misleadingly imply that the horse did this on its own.


HOw about this story. That's actually not the first I've heard of that happening through Craigslist.

thats not even the best part.

check the last line of the story...I literally LOL'd

:snap:

I saw that. That was good.

From spending to much time on his knees. MBC, I hope you're proud of yourself! :p

Someone really needs to PM me when something like comes up and I'm out of town. There were over 1600 posts when I got back and i didn't have the time to look at all of them.

All I can say is mine is still 100% natural. And it's not that one I had altered anyway.

And Chernabog, you really don't know who they are referring to? I thought everyone was well schooled about my sphincter (not that one) reconstruction.

Was that the sphincter lift, or the anal tuck? :D

Awww. Poor Leo. Maybe if you had gotten up off your knees, MBC would have let you check the board. :p


:evil: :evil: :evil:

Imagine a short roller coaster with a lift, dive, and corkscrew, and that's what it looks like.

Not that sphincter.

MBC wasn't in Orlando last week. Sorry.

You're mean.:p

Ah, the truth can hurt.

MOLESTED BY BIGFOOT

Oh yeah!! The first comment in the article itself made me giggle. (but the other comments to the article are funny too)

I assume you mean this and not the first paragraph (as it was, well, not funny):

This isn't a story, but it sure made me say, "What the fück!?!"
Spaghetti straps Aretha? Really?!? How were your shoulders not bleeding by the end of the night?

A picture says a thousand words........

OMG when I saw this I almost blew Knott's Berry Punch out my nose.

you kinda have to do one before doing the other, dont you?

:D

Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say WTF, because it makes sense from a biological standpoint in this particular case, but the photos are pretty astounding...

Pregnant 'Man'

I saw a news bit on that today and I was wondering if it would get coverage on LoT. I really don't see what the big deal about a woman having a baby is. Biology does not care much for legal distinctions.

Because it is a transgender MAN having the baby. People who are transgender often feel that there was a biological f**kup that is being corrected by making their bodies match their gender (or lack thereof... there's a lot more to it than a man wanting to be a woman and vice versa, as in, a lot of gray shades in between). For one thing, the FTM (female-to-male) involved in this has been taking testosterone for many years, I believe had the "top surgery" (double masectomy) -- socially and mentally (and hormonally) this person is male, with the chromosomes and nether regions as a female.

To say that this person is a woman with a mere LEGAL distinction of being male is incredibly trivializing and condescending.

I mean, I guess you could say that you don't see what the big deal of a person who was born with a vagina and uterus having a baby is, but it IS an odd case because of the social aspects of the whole thing.

Yeah, but it's still a person with a functioning (and I'd like to point out, their OWN) uterus. It's not someone who never had a uterus of their own, or who had it removed. I mean, if this was someone who'd been born a man but had a uterus implanted in them, and it worked, THAT would be pretty freaking impressive.

Someone sporting a beard that happens to still have their original plumbing, not so much.

Yeah, it's the fact that the headline leads make it seem like some medical miracle.

It's a social oddity, not a medical miracle. The first line of the article makes clear that the pregnant person is a transman. It makes one think of how gender and sex are not one and the same (and, as a side note, the changeable nature of gender and/or genitals in relation to marriage, laws [some people would see this as two women who are legally married], the nature of family, etc. etc.) I'm not going to go into a whole dissertation (when I haven't had any coffee today lol).

As someone who was roommates with a trans FTM when he started hormone therapy, that's again very trivializing and condescending. This person is a man, not a bearded lady. Again, it's the social aspect of all this in relation to gender, not any biological miracle aspect (which I agree, it isn't).

Nature also does not care about how one feels or their mental outlook. Nature is a cold hard bitch that eats baby seals and lets kittens starve.

So yeah, I don't see how a messed up individual having a baby makes national headlines. It happens everyday. If she can love and take care of the child then great for her but is it news? I still say no.

The news story I saw was all about "medical miracle" Man having babay. Which is not true and that's what I responding to not the individual in the story.

:mad:

You're not making any sense here whatosever.

First, you're responding to the "messed up individual" (ummmmmm how many trans people do YOU know, apparently zero). Which you were responding to before.

Then you say you're not responding to the individual, you're responding to the news headline. Which said nothing about a medical miracle. The person is indeed a transgender man who is pregnant.

Now what do nature and seals have to do with the price of dogfarts in China?

What do you call the surgery for a sex-change to go from a woman to a man?

Yeah, I get that alot. ;)

Yes, messed up in a chemical/physical sense. If you deny that you are closing your eyes to the truth. On an emotional/social level I have no idea this individual might be another Jack the ripper, a Mother Teresa or anywhere in between I have no idea and it's not really relevant anyway.

I'm responding to A news story not the news story. "Medical Miracle" was the title of the story I'm talking about.

I had seen tons of headlines about this but never followed through. But not one headline I saw gave any indication that it wasn't a biological male person that was pregnant.

But I was able to guess it which is why I never followed through to read an actual article.

Me too, no worries. :)

The implication you made before is that trans people are messed up, they aren't normal people, that they're mentally and socially lacking (i.e. not right in the head, etc.). If you say someone got "messed up" or are "messed up", that is pretty negative connotation. Maybe we're just arguing semantics here. Many trans people have happy, fulfulling, productive lives, and the only difference between you and I and them is that they were born with the wrong set of physical glands. To think about this stuff certainly screws with one's traditionally taught concepts of gender, sex, social norms, and the idea of what is "normal" to begin with.

Well then whatever newsperson wrote that particular headline was a complete schmuck. ;)

Cherny, you know I love my "trans" friends (okay, friend), and acknowledge trans people by whichever gender they feel suits them best, but I still refuse to act amazed that a man has a baby if that man still has his female plumbing intact.

And I didn't say a bearded lady. I said "someone sporting a beard that happens to still have their original plumbing." I believe I made that distinction.

Every headline I have read on this implies that a man, born a biological male was pregnant. What reality is a man, who was a woman, decided to keep his biological "plumbing" so he could have a child one day. The "plumbing" he was born with. The plumbing that was designed by nature to produce children. If a man, who was born a biological male was also born with ovaries and a uterus, the story would be *news* to me.

It saddens me that he is experiencing discrimination in receiving care because he changed his gender identity. But I don't think him being pregnant is any sort of medical miracle then any other couple who undergoes artificial insemination since at one time, he was a woman, with female organs, that he chose to keep when he became a man.

Few concerns though - what happens if they can't get to the hospital in time to have a C section? What will happen to the breast milk that develops?

I'm pretty sure the person in question didn't change anything "down there", so a vaginal birth isn't out of the question. And they DID have a double masectomy, so there is no tissue to produce milk, I don't think.

If he didn't change anything "down there" then how can he legally be a man and legally married to a[nother] biological woman? I'm totally un-knowledgeable in this area.

What the F? Did she mistakenly open the freekin' Lost Ark?

I bet there are 6 or 7 hillside homes stuck under those puppies...

The headline should have been "Transgender Person Pregnant."

It's hard to say "That person is a man" when that person actually has a uterus. This isn't a matter of being insensitive, it's a matter of fact. I'd say "That person identifies as a man".

However, it would seem to me that if you want to remain a viable mother then you want to be a woman. The idea that you can be both simultaneously just sounds like they don't really identify as anything and they want to play both sides. If that's the case, they shouldn't claim they identify as a man, they should claim that they identify as both, which is fine by me, really. It's none of my business whether he/she wants to be masculine, feminine, both, or asexual.

Have you guys seen this yet? (video link)

Holy crap... a town of 1951 people, and they're removing over *400* children from this polygamy compound!

Here's the text story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23993440/ (talks more about the polygamy arrests than what a big deal it is to remove a quarter of the population of a town and take them into state custody - which the video link does)

Can anybody point to more information about the initial call to authorities? So far I've not seen much detail but it sounds like they don't know who the girl is.

While I don't really approve of this group (I'm all for polygamy, just not polygamy involving children as the marrying parties) but putting hundreds of children and detaining scores of adults based on an anonymous phone call seems a bit of a stretch. So I'm hoping I just haven't seen that information.

Because it involves sexual abuse of a minor, they can't release the name of the girl. The impression I get though is that they don't know (or haven't revealed) if they've found her.

The women who left did so of their own accord (to whatever extent "voluntarily" is, when authorities are involved).

The impression I get is that some of the underage "kids" removed have kids of their own, also removed. So I'd say there is sufficient evidence there.

What is the law in California on defining men and women for marriage? Military service? Affirmative action? Is it based on chromosomes? Parts?

The second article you linked to said the authorities were uncertain whether the girl in question was among those removed, which suggested to me they didn't know for sure who she was. But those paragraphs have now been rewritten to say they don't know where she is, which is less suggestive of the idea that they don't know who she is.

I'm not at all questioning whether they should be detained and removed (I'm pretty sure that is the case). It just seemed questionable from the reporting I'd seen what the underlying justification to go in was.

I'll eventually see the details. Unless they're only shown on Nancy Grace. Then I'll just have to live in ignorance.

Legal change of status required one of the three possible surgeries, and Thomas had his breasts removed. Genital surgery is not required (and often messes up more than it fixes).

I do agree there. Media sucks. A lot.

I think the issue was more of expediency than of wanting to be a mother. He wants to be a father. I think they would have difficulty adopting, so "being [his] own surrogate" is a sure way of ensuring parental rights in the future.

I think if we based gender status on chromosomes a lot of us would be very surprised. I'm not actually sure what the legal status is based on. I'm just glad I was born with the bits that match my sense of myself. Not everybody is so lucky.

Man with suicide victim's heart takes own life

He even married the donor's widow after the transplant 12 years ago

The whole story.

Some women just have that effect on men.

Remind me not to marry her.

Was it her or the heart? I think they should have transplanted it into ANOTHER person just to see what happened.

Can you imagine being the woman who had two husbands off themselves?

would sorta make you wonder, wouldnt it?

wow.....that story sorta weirded me out

Wow, I feel for the poor widow though. Strange coincidence or something else. Que spooky music

Was her name Debbie?

no, her name is Dawn.

duh

And the world gets another politician
 

Baby with 2 faces born in north India
Doctors say infant with rare condition is doing well
Whole story.

:eek:

Well, then I'm glad she was born in India ... rather than say, oh, Sparta.

Did you see the other baby in that article?

I wonder why so many birth defects are happening in India.

While I'm fairly certain there are a lot of conditions such as pollution, poor diet and such could be the culprit, I suspect it's really a numbers game. The sheer volume of babies born in India each day has to be enormous, thus increasing the odds of oddities.

Apparently both faces blink and drink

I was made curious. And when I get curious I do pointless research. And having done that I share it with people who don't care. India has a population of 1.1 billion. They have an annual birth rate of 23 births per 1000 people. Resulting in 25.3 million babies born each year.

Here's the number for the top 20 countries. A baby born to a top 20 country has almost a 1/3 chance of being born in India. I suspect China also has a lot of interesting defects but the information infrastructure probably isn't as good at getting the word out.

India - 25.3 million babies born
China - 17.0 million
Nigeria - 5.9 million
Pakistan - 4.4 million
Indonesia - 4.3 million
United States - 4.2 million
Bangladesh - 3.9 million
Brazil - 3.6 million
Ethiopia - 2.9 million
Philippines - 2.3 million
Mexico - 2.1 million
Egypt - 1.8 million
Vietnam - 1.6 million
Russia - 1.5 million
Iran - 1.4 million
Turkey - 1.3 million
Japan - 1.1 million
Thailand - .92 million
France - .78 million
Germany - .67 million

Seriously, is that accurate?! They have 25.3 MILLION babies born each year!? I have to asume it is because, well it was Alex doing research but man alive that number astounds me!

Well, they have 1,100,000,000 people in the country so 25,000,000 babies isn't really such a huge number. As far as birth rate goes, India is about middle of the pack. What's remarkable is how low China's is (and the reasons for that are pretty obvious, I'm just always amazed at how successful their population controls have been).

While it may not have the panache of a two faced child, I was mildly amused by this quote regarding an advertisement that was pulled from our metro system here in Washington ahead of the Pope's visit:

1. This is why I like you: to know that I am not the only person who does this kind of thing
2. I DO care!

One really can't judge it without looking at the corresponding death rates.

(I had this number last night but it seemed completely irrelevant)

Currently India has an annual population growth rate of 1.46% which is a gain of about 16 million people per year.

So, since 25.3 million are born, you can assume that at least 9 million or so die each year (though there are other means of population increase and decline birth and death should swamp them out).

India's 1-year infant mortality rate is 55/1000 live births. So that means of the 25.3 million born per year, 1.4 million die within a year. In other words, more babies die each year in India than are born in Turkey, Japan, Thailand, France, or Germany.

Holy crap!

So this one makes me very angry: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24026486/?GT1=43001

Brief synopsis, he beats his kid with a video game controller, Mom hears it and does nothing until she realizes the child is unconcious!! WTF!! Now the child is dead and it's obvious to authorities that this wasn't the first beating.

Today my faith in humankind is at an all time low, not just because of this though.

Child abuse is child abuse, no matter the instrument...and it's not new. I just hope it's rarer than I think it is.

This is a real wtf?! Drink up!

The whole disgusting story.

She was 18 - her father made her write a note that she had run away. Then he and his wife, her mother, adoptoed or fostered three of the kids. The dad made her write notes that she was abandoning the kids. He told everyone she had joined a cult.

I don't get it. At what point does one think - hey my 18 year old is hot let me just build a prison in my basement and keep her there as my own pet??

perhaps at the same point this thread goes from What the Fu<K Stories to seriously disturbing stories.

My WTF story of the week:

Someone moved one of my plants. As in it was planted in the ground, and now it's planted in the large planter with the rose from my mother-in-law. Someone came into my fenced-in back patio area, dug up one of my plants out of the ground and re-planted it in a pot that already had another plant in it.

WTF?!

Believe it or not, i've heard of people digging up other people's plants in a pot and re-planting them in the ground ... to steal the pots.


But the other way around? Gives new meaning to WTF alright.

That was seriously disturbing. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Pru, keep your eye on it. They may have repotted it to make it easier to cart off at a later date.

Before we get Pru all unsettled, let us remember that she resides in the Seattle area. It's highly likely that some Master Gardener/Greenpeace officer/Starbucks barista just happened to notice that the plant might be happier in the pot and kindly adjusted it's environment accordingly.

A friend of mine had all her rosebushes stolen from her front yard one night (in Arleta) a year or two ago. Someone literally came by and pulled them all out of the ground and took off with them.

I don't think carting it off is an option. First - the plant moved isn't that exciting. Second, the pot it's now residing in is ginormous and not likely to be carted anywhere. I suspect WB is closer to reality, sadly.

Have you ruled out sleep gardening?

Matt: you promised to not post that picture of me.

Every time I see one of these stories (they are far to common) I wonder what other girls are currently trapped in a dungeon somewhere and when/if they will be rescued. How many are out there, how many will never be found.

Stupid men... I say we jail you all for our own good.

=P

Whereas all women are super intelligent :p

T'were a joke, dearie. Bit of performance art... I was channeling the government :)

Goonie... Can us gay boys stay out of jail? We have absolutely no desire to lock young girls away and force them to have our children. Ain't gonna happen. <eww>

Yes of course dear. Who else is going to fulfill the role of jailer and "head interrogator" ;)

Haha... looks like some groups are taking PETA to task for not doing enough for animals: http://www.newsweek.com/id/134549?GT1=43002

you'll never take me alive
:argghh:

Yes, but I have a young boy locked away in a dungeon ... and despite the fact that he can't really have my children, I keep breeding him anyway. :evil:


Lock me up for the sake of all the young boys who will otherwise be locked up.


Gay Boys ain't safe.

I knew - I was playing along wit ya!

I shoulda added a smilie or something.

I'd say I was surprised, but maybe I'm not. It still gets filed under WTF.

And I'll bet the dude was pissed that he lost his place in line.

OK, I'd be willing to exlpore the whole domination thing.... :D

Oh ****! Never mind. :eek:

I'm going to assume you are kidding. (But with you, one never knows....) :eek:

Some more information is coming in on the daughter imprisonment story:

Which made me wonder: what would have happened if he had died without releasing them?

And how was he able to construct and outfit the rooms (including appliances!) without anyone knowing?

Man finds skeleton in newly trimmed tree

646 square feet over 24 years + a few appliances coming back n forth probably wouldnt really attract a lot of attention. sure wouldnt around here

yeah, I think that definitely qualifies for this thread :eek:

I have no words to describe my horror and disgust at that "man". And I wonder if those affected by him will ever be able to lead a mentally healthy life.

Ok so this story just struck me as funny -- there's a sex scandal with... THE WEATHER CHANNEL!?!?! WTF?

Ooh, the weather outside is frightful, the fire is so delightful...

Update on the sicko with his daughter in the basement: I should be applauded for not killing them all! Piece...of...work.

Wow. Just, wow.

No death could be slow enough nor painful enough for that sub-human piece of shït.

I would be willing to try.

Ahh, Ewwww...

I heard about that this morning on the radio. They actually did a story on this on either House or Grey's Anatomy this season.

Yeech. Why do they have to tell the world about this? :rolleyes: TMI.

Sounds like a typical American beer commercial with a small print disclaimer at the bottom.

If it was House then I think the issue in question was chimerism which is a somewhat different thing (and within a year House, CSI, and Crossing Jordan all did shows where chimerism was the gimmick so I assume something happened to make it news in the 12 months prior to that).

In reading about this stories type of thing (fetus in fetu) on Wikipedia just now I was surprised to see it is as common at 1 in 500,000 briths. Remember that list of number of babies born in various countries each year? Well, that means this happens in India about 50 times a year. Neat.

Also at the Wikipedia page you can find reference to a 7 year old Kazakhstan boy referred to a doctor when something appeared to be moving in his stomach.

Excellent comic take on what was happening off camera with Billow.

(People who want to amputate perfectly healthy limbs)

It raises interesting questions. If wanting to chop off your hand because it just feels wrong and you know you aren't supposed ot have it is a disorder to be treated, what is the differential between that and knowing that it was a mistake you were born a man and therefore removing and reorganizing your genitalia.

The ever challenging question of when deviation from the mean is acceptable variation instead of malfunction.

They actually dealt with this on Grey's Anatomy. The guy came into the hospital to have his foot removed because it wasn't his. Staff said no, so he ended up chopping it off himself with a chainsaw. In the hospital. Funny stuff.

I have no problem believing in aliens. I just think it is almost infinitesimally unlikely they have visited earth. But I could easily be wrong.

I'm too lazy to look them up right now, but within the last few weeks there have been 2 stories of police officers shooting themselves during gun safety training.

Since I am looking to kill a few minutes:

Woman Calls Police To Free Her From Her Locked Car

That headline should have read, "Woman Calls Fire Department To Dislodge Her Head From Her Ass"

We had to call AAA once when my friend, in such a hurry to get out of his car to make fun of me for leaving my lights on, locked his keys in his car. With the engine running. And the car in gear (emergency brake on).

When the locksmith arrived, we asked him if it was the dumbest call he'd ever been on. He decided that the lady who locked her keys in the car with the window rolled down got that prize.

$100 says she's blonde.

Agreed.

I especially don't find it funny after my seat belt debacle from this morning.

Can you just continuously confess during the sex ("...since my last confession I have engaged in public sex...since my last confession I have engaged in public sex...since my last...") or do you have to wait until you're done and then just confess once?

And would it be a sin if they were married - I don't recall a though shalt not have sex in a confessional commandment

Wow, what a cünt of a mother! Her son is writhing in pain, about to fall out, and she's laughing at him!?!

To me, he looked like he was choking on it.

I can get the laughing at the screams on a roller coaster. My derisive comment towards her was because of her reaction after she looked at him and saw the position he was in.

Once again Home Depot glues a man to a toilet seat.

Now, I feel kind of bad for the guy. But I have difficulty imagining how you could sit in glue and not notice immediately.

Canadian Court Overturns Father's grounding of 12 y/o Girl

Story here

Okay... no

I see in reading the story that there is an ongoing custody battle (people should NOT use the children as pawns in a divorce!), but even so, this case should not have gone to court. It is not up to the courts to subvert parental authority (I am talking about grounding or taking away privileges: obviously I am not about to condone child abuse).

I'm sorry but if I ground my son for going on the internet and posting inappropriate pictures than he is grounded. The court can say what they want but I'm not letting my child endanger himself. I understand this is an unusual case with a 10 year custody batle but since when can the courts tell me what is appropriate for my child. If I'm abusing my child that is one thing and I should be punished but I won't let my child inadvertantly allow himself to be abused by the internet at such a young age!

I'm guessing there's more to this than the story reports. For instance, with a 10 year custody battle, perhaps the father simply is not considered a guardian and does not have the right to inflict punishment. Also, it says "refused to allow her to go on a school trip." Does that mean the trip already happened? If so, what exactly is the point of "overturning" the grounding if the damage has already been done? Is this a gambit by the mother to gain an edge in the custody battle?

I'm taking this story with a whole lot of salt grains.

Quoting from that article, "An enema is almost a symbol of our region." Really?!? You should put that on your tourist literature!

The woman and her lawyer were on the Today shoesw this morning. I forget who was interviewing them but she asked two great questions. One was what they had to say to those watching who are rolling their eyes at the lawsuit and the other was how much money did they want.

Lawyer attempted to skirt both questions and gave answers that resulted in more eye rolling. The woman kept saying she was in "excruciating pain". It was completely eyeroll worthy. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

This one comes to us from Time Magazine. Apparently, several girls in Gloucester, MA made a pact to become pregnant. (All of them under 17.)

And this one is old news. REALLY old news.

Heard about that on the news. They want to raise the babies together and think it's the coolest thing in the world. :(

I can see how the media makes it look "cool". The "baby bump" seems to be the latest accessory to have.

I almost hope Jamie Lynn speaks out about how hard it is to be a teen mom, what she is missing and how it changed her life.

I don't think it is necessarily the media that makes it look cool.

A friend in high school got pregnant when she was 17. Her friends all thought it was the most fabulous thing in the world. Even with my sister telling them how much pregnancy wasn't fun and how tired she was and all that. But she had a cute little toy that loved her unconditionally and provided a purpose and her parents didn't kick her out so she still had a support network and blah blah blah.

She was an inspiration, not a cautionary tale. And soon several of her friends were also pregnant. I swear, the attitude before the reality was more like having a tomagochi than a responsibility.

What was amusing is that the flicker site gives the date of the photo as 1900 yet right in the description (quoted by LSPE above) it says that Parcel Service wasn't introduced until 1913. Ummm...

They just uploaded a bazillion Smithsonian photos to flickr. I'm pretty sure a lot of their dates are "circa." But you can't honestly think a date listing is funnier than the picture of the baby in the mailbag? Little is funnier than a baby in a mailbag.

not really a 'story' but definitely falls into the WTF category

:eek:

This must be a fake. But I'm laughing out loud (at work).

I'm reminded of another story where a county treasurer used the word "niggardly", which means stingy, in a some meeting and was forced to resign because it sounded too much like the N word and people didn't know the meaning.

From Wiki:
Interesting. I don't think I've ever even heard of that word before.

Sorry to go back a couple stories - but WTF is with everybody saying that the video of the screaming fat kid is on a rollercoaster? It's a slingshot ride - a ride that can terrify even a freak like me - what a mean mom.

I've heard it. Not in common use, but I knew what it meant. I didn't know it was Norwegian! That's cool.

It's every American's duty!

Ah, yes, ignorance in action. ::sigh:: Got to wonder about the people who are so quick to be offended over something they don't actually know the meaning of.

Yes.

You know, for this, I would go off my "diet" and partake of a McDonald's something. Give Bill Whitman a shiny gold star!

This dude has it backwards. Their dollars are being put into an organization that's going to fight FOR the values they DON'T believe in. Gays are not fighting against anybody's rights or values, they are fighting for their own to be respected and accepted.

Well, I had McDonalds for lunch and I feel like ralphing!
:D

No one has a right to be respected or accepted. It is common decency to do so, but they are not rights to be expected.

I realize many people will be angry over that, but I believe it's true.

Everyone has a right to be treated equally by the law. That is a form of respect and acceptance.

I didn't say they were fighting to be personally accepted by the world at large. The fight is for their legal rights to be accepted by the government, which I personally think is not only possible, but within our generation's grasp.

That I certainly agree with.

Except the Methodists. F*** them!

shoulda stuck with loving their stance, but hating their food.

Dear GC,

Bear and I watched a DVD called "Hostel" by Qentin Tarrantino. I spent most of the movie peering through my fingers or watching the reflection upside-down in the glass-topped coffee table.

If you require instruction on "incredibly gruesome things to do to yourself and others with a chainsaw" then rent this sucker. Oh...and I reckon MythBusters could easily demonstrate that an individual could top 'emselves quite easily...after all, we are talking about a couple of feet of totally exposed fast moving metal teeth.

Chainsaws scare the pants of me...

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

Minor point of clarification. Hostel is an Eli Roth film. I suspect a Tarantino version would have more artistic value and not be just torture porn (and I use that in the cinematic rather than actual pornography sense to avoid the long conversation that happened last time I said torture porn).

Dear Alex,

Maybe there are different versions out there...I could have sworn I saw Qentin's name on the screen. I will say this though: apart from the gratuitous gore, the plot actually held together quite well (better than most body parts anyway) and actually led to a reasonable resolution, which I quite liked.

Hugs,

The Stoat.

Tarantino was an "Executive Producer" on Hostel, and the film was a "Quentin Tarantino presents..." feature.

So I understand why Stoat would think it was a QT flick.

Dear Mousepod,

Thanks for clearing that up...which is exactly what the stage hands would have been doing for days..weeks..months after !!!

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

I am occasionally disturbed by the amount of thought you put into these kind of things.

Guess I know what I'll be getting for Xmas

Well, as this IS the WTF thread, this comment won't be out of place:

They say that Mr Phyall was "vulnerable". This is the same guy that had a fully operational chainsaw in a unit. I'm glad that I didn't try to sell him Girl Guide cookies or Nutrimetics.

It listed the possible cause of death of Mr Phyall as ‘complete transaction of the neck’.

Naahhh...that couldn't have possibly been the cause. Had they said "complete transaction of the bank" I'd have cause for concern, 'cos my bank never gets it right.

An ambulance service spokesman said: ‘We were called to an address in Bishopstoke to reports to a “concerns for welfare.”

Well, when the caller said "Mr Phyall had lost his marbles" they weren't whistling Dixie (and neither, it seems, was he). On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate this an 11 in terms of "concerns for welfare".

I'll be heading off now...

Lashstoat

Don't go losing your mind over this story. It just isn't where we want this thread to head.

Hmm, would a thread asking for everyone's "Overly Dramatic Suicide Ideas" be too wrong?

Hmmm...

Like I've said in the past, while I've never come remotely close to committing suicide, I do think about it several times a day. My own death fascinates me. I can't see a high cliff without wondering what it would be to fall off it. A anthill without wondering how it would be to be eaten by army ants. A copse of trees in a twilight park without considering a violent mugging that leaves me mortally wounded but with enough life left to wander somewhere and die dramatically in the arms of a friend.

I find it really odd to think that there are people who don't think about such things all of the time. I think about good things too.

Maybe I just think too much and too fast.

Yeah... hat would be my vote. :rolleyes:

I always thought it would be odd to dive into a big vat of chocolate at Hersheypark and drown/burn in divinity.

Well, we just got to experience the aftermath of someone's apparent suicide (or, perhaps it was a murder). The guy died (or chose to die) on the eve of a heat wave few days later his neighbors just couldn't figure out where that smell was coming from. They figured it out - or the police did. We stepped into the elevator soon after they had brought the body down. It was not comforting finding out why the elevator smelled.

Humm, I don't know. However I'm fairly sure I would have a lot of company. Were I depressed enough to end it all, I'd take all of the SOB's that helped make me that way along for the ride.

I guess it's a good thing I'm a happy guy.

After seeing (and feeling) what happens to the people left behind, I have noticed my suicidal thoughts have diminished.

agreed

I have similar thoughts, every single day. Bike riding in traffic can do this to me more than anything. Just one swerve, by me or by the cars, and it's all over - or I'm at least horribly crippled. I'm never truly tempted, of course.

An Orange City Council member was killed in a head on collision a couple years back. Lady was drunk and crossed the meridian. She was barely injured. He was in his 30's with a daughter in kindergarten, a local guy who'd worked hard for his community. The entire city mourned. Luck. Bad, bad luck.

I'm a happy person too. :) Even so, (or perhaps, because) these thoughts are around all the time, reminding me how lucky I am, every single day.

Woman has 140-pound tumor removed
Oregon mom was told for years she had to lose weight, but she couldn’t
Full story

Something very similar happened to a friend of mine. She had complained to her doctor (she had Cigna) for several years about problems she had. The doctor just kept telling her to lose weight. She switched her insurance to Kaiser and told her new doctor about her problems. The new doctor immediately ordered tests. They found a 10 lbs tumor in her abdomen. They removed it, and she’s fine now. If she hadn’t switched to Kaiser she could be dead by now.

Two old ladies sentenced to life in prison without parole for murdering homeless men to collect insurance policies taken out on their lives.

I always thought it would be a laugh to climb the Matterhorn and leap off it onto Sleeping Beauty's Castle, impailing myself on the gold spire.

I heard about that when they were caught. I'm WTFing what they were thinking.

That would be one helluva leap!

Boy do we live in an amazing world where that can be precisely determined in less than a minute from thinking of it.

Jumping from the top of the Matterhorn onto the nearest castle spire is 276 horizontal feet.

Maybe if Bornieo was launched somehow... like with a cannon...

But the launch can't kill him - that needs to occur when he hits the spire.

And it needs to be a fairly vertical impact on the tip of the spire so that he will be successfully impaled. So, the flight path would need to be a fairly (vertically) steep parabola.

Perhaps a cleverly placed series of trampolines could be employed?

That might work....

How hard would it be to simply slide down the Tink wire with your bare hands, such that they were cut clean thru by the time you are directly over a Castle spire?

I notice this has rapidly become the "Kill Bornieo" thread.

Poor Bornieo.



Now, we just need to make sure to take out some life insurance on him. ;)

You guys take the fun out of everthing with your damn mathamatics...

We also need to consider the exact point of impact to make sure it fully impales and doesn't just bend or worse, snap off, thus hurting the castle, ruining the joy of millions of people.

Bornieo knows that this is all fun and games. We would never try to kill him... again.
:D

Yeah, considering the last plans got all screwed up thanks to someone (not mentioning any names.....coughGeminiCricketcough...) forgetting the rubber banding, thus making us rig the giant slingshot with my bra, only to have it misfire and land somewhere across the Pacific. That was an embarrassing day.

It would be just like Bornieo to ruin my fun!

Yes, but usage of your bra did allow for a larger projectile.

[Several meetings interrupted this post; wouldn't surprise me if math went astray at some point]

Just a warped point of view, but mathematics (or one if its applied offspring) is, for me, frequently what puts the fun in.


So.

The Matterhorn is 147 feet tall or 44.8 meters. The castle at it's tallest is 77 feet (23.5 meters). Let's say that the short spire near the Matterhorn is half that or 11.5 meters).

It will take 2.6 seconds to fall those 33.3 meters. To travel 276 lateral feet (84.1 meters) in that time you'd have to jump out with a speed (ignoring wind resistance) of 72 miles per hour.

My brain hurts.

This site is really cool! I just discovered that my work is precisely due east of my house.

Yeah, he could end up bouncing around on people in the hub, like one of those New Year's Eve beach balls. :)

That could be a new attraction!

They could make a mint selling ponchos, talk about a SOAK ZONE! :eek:

We will have to test Alex's theory on the 17th then!!

Anyone wanna place bets?

Especially if I have Zocalo beforehand.

Unfortunately though, it would be an attraction that would drive people out of the park in disgust (kinda like Light Magic).

I'd volunteer my replacement bra for the launching mechanism, but it'd launch you onto Tokyo DL's castle instead. So, we'll have to donate Kevy Baby's jock strap to the cause.

On second thought, that'd launch you to Hong Kong DL's castle, so scratch that.

We need something with much less pull.

I'm not so sure that even this would break the City Hall complaint record achieved by Light Magic. ;)

Trailer vs Canopy :eek:

Geebus. Story says the driver and his kid made it out. Freaking lucky, the corner looked like it tore through the driver's side.

Not nearly as dramatic, a couple years ago I saw an SUV drive into a parking garage. They either forgot that they had one of those roof rack mounted camping containers on or didn't realize how tall that made their car. They whacked the hell out of the hanging bar with the max clearance sign, knocking it off its chain and ultimately wedged themselves in pretty good against the ceiling of the garage. Pretty amusing to watch.

Good thing they were safe. It looked like he would have been thrashed had he remained in his seat.

Which reminds me. I'm glad this video had some explanation of the aftermath of the event. I hate it when I see a clip and don't know whether or not the person was hurt, killed etc.

Because no-one was hurt, I am able to say: too frickin' funny!!!

What amazed me was how flimsily constructed the canopy was.

Lisa, this woman is not a roll model!

I just don't understand the concept of animal hording (says the lady with 6 rats).

[pop psychology] It fulfills a need for companionship. The line of acceptability (of how many animals) is lost on the lonely person. One cat made me feel good. Two cats makes me feel better and the trend continues. [/pop psychology]

Last night Gary says "Well at least she has us beat!" I peaked over his shoulder and had to laugh, yes thank god she has us beat!! Although I can't afford the 16 at the moment but luckily the babes are big enough to find homes. Which will cut the population in half, then we can try to trap the one to get her fixed and Gary has made friends with the other so we can grab her too!

I can't imagine trying to feed them all. Also why not just fix them. We always end up with some new mother cat or litter at our front door every year but all our cats are fixed, as they should be! The first year that we had two litters dropped off we had to have the feral cat coalition help us out with catching some but they were all caught fixed and given shots. It's not cheap having 9 cats fixed even with their help!
