The irony of this website is that the unpleasant, misanthropic turds who spend their time trawling the Internet for specious press "details" of actually unironic but nonetheless ill-advised accidental deaths are unquestionably too busy compiling annals of misfortune to get their leg over (thus removing themselves from the gene pool).



Rant over.

    Probably. I had a strange compulsion to read Hillaryis44, last month.

    Love the books. They make the best bathroom reading material ever! :)
    "I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."

    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I love reading the Darwin Awards, News of the Weird, etc. type articles and books. I appreciate that they spend the time to compile those stories that give me a laugh.
  • Sorry, the Darwin Awards are great. The movie was good too.

    Don't do things that are blatantly stupid and you'll be fine. Also, I am pretty sure that an obsession is not a deterrent to getting laid. All of us are on here all day and we all seem to get laid judging by the amount of sex threads.

    File this one under, "Oh come on, really?  You did what?"

    Woman gored by bison in Yellowstone national park

    Ohio woman, 25, was tossed 10ft in air after getting close to female bison on boardwalk

    An Ohio woman was gored by a bison after approaching the animal while visiting Yellowstone national park in Wyoming, park officials said on Tuesday.

    The 25-year-old was visiting the national park from Grove City, Ohio, about 20 minutes outside Columbus.

    Park officials say the woman, whose name has not been released, got within 10ft of the female bison on a nearby boardwalk. The animal then gored her and tossed her 10ft in the air.

    She was treated by park emergency medical staff onsite and later transferred to Eastern Idaho regional medical center via ambulance with a puncture wound and other injuries.

    Two other people were within 25ft of the same bison, but it is unclear if they were hurt.

    Of course she was from Ohio. 🙄

    So unfortunate. This story is posted 2 or 3 times per year (with different morons, of course) and the bison are then put down because of it. Why must humans be so careless and dumb?

    Even smaller wildlife like bobcats.  "Oh, they're so cute!"  Yeah but...!
