Darwin Award Nominee

Apparently, a person suffering from road rage shot himself in the hand. I guess he felt that it would teach the person who cut him off a lesson. That lesson, presumably being, “if he’s angry enough at me to shoot himself in the hand, what’s he going to do to me?”

Here’s a link to the story.

I have been offline since Monday due to computer problems.

But, before the enforced black out, somewhere ( possibly FARK or Maxim) I read a great story that is just so hysterical it seems fake:

An austrian midget ( or dwarf) in a Circus act in Thailand was doing an act on a trampolene when he bounced *right into the mouth of a yawning hippo * and the crowd cheered, thinking it was a part of the act. The hippo ended up swallowing him (whole, I guess.) Until, naturally, workers and staff went nuts trying to get Franz the midget out, to no avail.

I mean, how funny is that?
If this is a UL, please shoot me now.
