Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

Couple of extra rounds in his pocket.

Take one down? Pass it around…?

Yeah. I was thinking of the combination, not of any one thing; and there are certainly medications, and combinations of medications, that can cause confused thinking. Confused thinking in itself doesn’t cause murder, but being unable to think coherently may contribute to it in somebody who was thinking of it for other reasons but who, if they were thinking clearly, would know better than to act on such impulses.

TBI and/or severe headaches can cause confused thinking in themselves, of course.

Florida Woman sues Putin over nuclear threats.

I thought this was pretty funny until I learned the she has, apparently filed numerous LOLsuits over the years. In at least one she accused George W. and Jeb Bush of stalking and cyberstalking her.

I suspect she is not well.

Nice to see some equality for women. Florida Woman.(the meme of Florida Man)

[speechless]

I never thought they would take trophies.

I assume they were trying to reanimate them, Herbert West-style. What better kind of anti-abortion activism might there be than literally undoing abortions?!

Where do you think they get their props?

If they’re anything like my relatives, these are the type of people who sincerely believe a baby’s soon-to-be-fatal birth abnormalities can be cured with enough prayer. :confused:

Is there a thread for stupid racist MFers?

“The problem is we do not know the nice ones from the bad Natives … so we just have to say no to them!!” she allegedly wrote.

It’s a good thing you’re so vocal, so we can identify the bad human.

The bigots aren’t even trying to up their game. She didn’t complain about tomahawks at all.

Malevolent or just stupid? How would you characterize a biomedical engineer who ordered 100 packets of castor bean seeds and six lily-of-the-valley plants and when questioned by the FBI, told them that the seeds and plants were for gardening…in his Cambridge, Mass. apartment?

Maybe it was just “curiosity” and not efforts by a would-be mass poisoner, but I imagine his co-workers are somewhat relieved that his scheme was uncovered before he could “experiment”.*

*the case reminds me of Michael Swango, who poisoned co-workers when he was working as an EMT in Illinois, and investigators found a collection of poisons and related literature in his apartment.
**according to a relative, Saaem was also a fan of “MacGyver”.

Have you read the book about Swango?

Scary stuff.

Good book.

Swango’s “career” and mine crossed paths (though not overlapping) at a couple of locales. I knew a surgeon he evidently poisoned during residency, and an internal medicine residency director who recruited me during med school later accepted Swango into the residency program. :man_facepalming:

Also a very tricky Wordle answer.

Please fight my ignorance here. Do those things combine to make a poison? What’s the Straight Dope?

I haven’t seen Breaking Bad and the article is paywalled.

Castor beans are used to make Ricin.

Lily of the Valley is toxic (potentially fatal if ingested).

Ah. Thanks.
