Pilots overshoot Minneapolis by 150 miles; have to be told about it via intercom from the flight attendant.

Pretty funny :)

They were arguing about whose turn it was to nap? :)

It's actually scary if both of them were asleep. Don't they keep the door to the cockpit locked as a security measure now? I wonder if the crew has a way of getting in?

They are going to examine the flight recorders. I'm interested in a follow-up story.

Pilot mistakenly lands on a taxiway instead of a runway.

Internet forum for pilots devolves into (apparently) age-old battle between regional pilots and legacy pilots.

Breaking news: Pilots can be assholes on the internet too.

So today we have a dog who comes home with a human skull in his mouth.

"Let Rover in, honey"
"WHAT THE FUCK!!"
"Put Rover out!!!!"

They've called the authorities.

Investigators found that the chem student often dipped his chewing gum into a packet of citric acid and had inadvertently dipped it instead into a similar-looking packet holding explosive material that was also on his desk.

Exploding Chewing Gum

Seems like something The Joker would have on hand.

You just can't make this stuff up.

This thread would be so much more awesome if the Chinese media would create CGI Sims footage of each event.

Sweet, sweet revenge.



Here is my question about this image. Out of all the questions I have about this image, which are a lot, here is the one that I really want answered:

What is the ref for?

[slikster]

Here's another one, why does the ref have a stick?

Ah, I just answered myself in my head. To beat the bear off, of course.

[kerzain]

I hope that bear is wearing a cup.

Not saying that you shouldn't wear a helmet. I'm saying riding a motorcycle is just generally fucking dangerous.

bit late of a response, but it doesn't say that a helmet won't save your life. it just says that in states where it's required less people aren't really dying. it's entirely possible that people still aren't wearing them. I know plenty of riders who risked getting ticketed rather than wear helmets when it was the law. I also know 3 people who only lived in bike wrecks due to their helmets and will always wear mine.

You should tell them to get their own helmets.

No clue what the ref is for, but the Calgary Flames jersey tells me everything I need to know.

Baggy pants actually do serve a purpose, justice.

[BobJustBob]

Now that's funny.

[Demon G Sides]

Ahahahahahahha

[Bad Neighbor]

That's a Darwin Award winner, right there.

So awesome.

Pretty much all of this.

These stories really shouldn't be funny, but dammit if I didn't laugh at some of them:)

At Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach, investigators found staff mistakenly wheeled a patient on a metal gurney near an MRI machine, she was sucked in by the machine’s magnetic force and fractured her leg and foot. The hospital was fined $50,000, its third penalty in the last two years.

The fear we all have:

Western Medical Center in Santa Ana also was fined $50,000, the hospital’s second fine in the last year, after a surgical sponge was left in a patient in March. She became ill and had to undergo a second operation to remove it.

This is just sad:

California Hospital Medical Center in downtown L.A. was fined $50,000 after emergency room doctors misdiagnosed a woman with an ectopic pregnancy in March and gave her chemotherapy drugs that made her ill.

JOHANNESBURG -- Police say a South African man who wanted to watch a World Cup match instead of a religious program was beaten to death by his family in the northeastern part of the country.

David Makoeya, a 61-year-old man from the small village of Makweya, Limpopo province, fought with his wife and two children for the remote control on Sunday because he wanted to watch Germany play Australia in the World Cup. The others, however, wanted to watch a gospel show.

"He said, 'No, I want to watch soccer,'" police spokesman Mothemane Malefo said Thursday. "That is when the argument came about.

"In that argument, they started assaulting him."

Malefo said Makoeya got up to change the channel by hand after being refused the remote control and was attacked by his 68-year-old wife Francina and two children, 36-year-old son Collin and 23-year-old daughter Lebogang.

Malefo said he was not sure what the family used to kill Makoeya.

"It appears they banged his head against the wall," Malefo said. "They phoned the police only after he was badly injured, but by the time the police arrived the man was already dead."

All three were arrested Sunday night, but Lebogang was released on $200 bail Tuesday, Malefo said. The other two are still being held in custody.

Malefo said the mother and son will reappear in the local Seshego Magistrates Court on July 27.

"He was always a happy man, never violent," Makoeya's nieces, Miriam and Anna, told the Daily Sun newspaper. "On Saturday, we saw him the last time at a funeral."

The World Cup, being played in Africa for the first time, started Friday and runs through July 11.

Guess they really did need to watch that gospel show after all.

$200 bail on a potential murder charge? God damn.

Because religion teaches acceptance and non-violence?

A World Cup match instead of a religious program? Is this one of those poTAYto poTAHto things?

I saw a panhandler wearing a t-shirt that said "Being Spoiled IS My Job!"

I tried so hard to discreetly get a picture but failed. I was giggling about it for hours afterward.
