> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Idjits shooting guns into the air. What goes up must come down, guys! Some idjit did that about ten years ago, and decided to shoot into the ground. Hit a water pipe. Didn’t make a hole, but cracked a seal, so didn’t know there was damage until the next morning. Karma is usually not so on-the-ball. > [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > LF myth most people seem to think is true That sugar makes kids hyper. I have less favorite myths, but this one is believed so widely, and by many usually reasonable people-- people who are by no means conspiracy nuts, that I keep bumping my head against it. I can’t put a single cookie in my kid’s lunch\*, or some other parent accuses me of setting him up to be an attention drain on the teacher for the whole afternoon, adversely affecting her little snowflake’s education. LF myth or UL, not necessarily _widely_ believed, but believed by enough people to make it a problem. \*Which BTW, I do only on Fridays, as a Shabbes thing, and on minor holidays he spends in school. He got one on the first and last day of Hanukkah. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > LF fact that everybody else seems to disregard You mean, I don’t like the fact, or I don’t like that people disregard it? If you mean the latter, then it would probably be that tossing cigarettes on the ground violates littering laws. It even says so on a bunch of signs posted around the city here. I have only heard once of someone ticketed for this offense, ever, though. And that was a “it happened to my BIL,” so it is sort of a FOAF story (the teller was pretty reliable, though, and I know the BIL; he’s kind of an asshole; I hope it’s true). LF thing you ever gave as a gift. ---

Hard to choose, but this one’s certainly up there and the reasons are obvsious (Judges 19:25-28): > [@](#): > > So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, ‘Get up; let’s go.’ But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.” Least favorite web browser. ---
