Some fucking morons should be taken out of the gene pool. This happened in my area a couple of days ago.
Two 19 yr. olds were playing with a gun. While shooting the local telephone book, they noticed that the bullet didn’t go all the way through the book.
I think you can figure out what the stupid assholes did next.
One of the guys took the phone book held it up to his midsection. The guy with the gun shot at the book again. This time however, the bullet went through the book and he was shot in stomach. Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for humanity, the wounds weren’t mortal.
The authorities are considering charges on the shooter. I think they BOTH should be put away for stupidity.:rolleyes:
What I find particularly interesting about this is that when I was a teenager, adults never gave grave warnings to teenagers who were interested in guns. Instead they’d look at me and mutter darkly about how they once knew some kid who was interested in chemistry, and he was blinded/killed/maimed/etc.
Funny thing: I was checking the Darwin Awards site last night, and I saw that story in the slush pile. (That’s where they keep stories that haven’t been verified, or that they have verified but haven’t yet decided to honor.) Go to darwinawards.com and check the slush pile: “Bullet vs. phone book”, submitted on 7/5 by jackofspades.
If you heard about it on your local news, Lady Ice, it’s probably true. The criteria for a DA are death or sterility, so this wouldn’t qualify, but it deserves an honorable mention, IMO.
[hijack]Back in I think 1985, I saw an article in the Joliet (IL) Herald-Snooze about a pregnant woman in a sporting-goods store who was accused of trying to shoplift a basketball, and had to pull her shirt up in the manager’s office. “What a world,” I thought. Years later, I heard it presented as an urban legend, so I wavered: I’d read about it, after all, but the Herald-Snooze might well have printed something that hadn’t been verified. Quite recently, I heard the anecdote upheld as true, with the accused woman recounting her experience for the benefit of Snopes.
So with that in mind, Lady, can you retrieve the news item you saw? You could send it to the DA site and maybe get a credit.[/hijack]
I heard this on the Houston news the other day: Some guy bought a bunch of fireworks, and the best place he could think to store them was in THE OVEN! Blew up most of the house, about $20,000 worth of damage. No one was hurt, bu some miracle. Talk about your DA candidates…
