A man tried to paddle from Florida to London in a homemade vehicle he called a “bubble.” He was stopped by the Coats Guard and threatened to blow himself up, but after three days surrendered. The Bomb was a fake. Not the first time he’s tried something similar. I think he needs help. Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in hamster wheel vessel - BBC News
There are times when everybody would be better served by letting the dude go do his thing. That way the only expense/hassle is picking up the tattered remains of his bubble when they float ashore.
This definitely doesn’t belong in the Stupid thread, but I don’t know where else to put it.
A Delta Atlanta-to-Barcelona flight was forced to return to Atlanta because a passenger had a terrible case of diarrhea. Before making it to the commode.
The comments on this were hysterical! The fact that it was considered a biohazard is just hilarious to me. Imagine-- someone ruins a plane by releasing a biohazard from their sphincter. “That’s the shittiest flight you’ll ever be on!”
“The hottest peppers, like ghost peppers, can kill you. But it’s highly unlikely,” states Dr. Capin. “You would have to eat a huge amount of them. For instance, if you weigh 150 pounds, you would have to eat 3 pounds of ghost peppers to cause a deadly reaction.” The rule of thumb, he says, is to not eat more than 1/50th of your weight in hot peppers."
