Hybrid Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 [color=darkblue]There are some really dumb people in the world and I was wondering what dumb things have you heard that people have done? Heres some that I've heard about: [b]Dumb Archers:[/b] A 27 year old man lost his left eye while being initiated into an archer's club. A fellow member was attempting to shoot a beer can off the man's head and struck the man in the left eye. Doctors said if the arrow had gone a millimeter deeper, the victim would have been killed. [b]Dumb Drunk:[/b] A Los Angeles Man was caught on tape attempting to break into a liquor store by throwing a cinder block through the window. However, the man didn't realize that the window was made of reinforced plexiglass. The block bounced of the window and hit him on the head, knocking him out. [b]Dumb Crook:[/b] A drunk man went into a gas station and demanded all the money. The clerks, realizing the man was drunk, refused to hand him over the money. When the drunk dumb-*** threatened to call the police, the clerks laughed at him. Sure enough he finally called the local authorities who came and arrested him. [b]Dumb Demonstrator:[/b] A man who installed windows in sky scrapers was showing his customers how strong each pane of glass was by getting a 10-foot running start and jumping against the windows from the inside. However, the windows must not have been as strong as he thought: One shattered, and he plummeted 27 stories to his death. Oops! [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Well thank god for the Darwin awards so people like these can finally get recognition. The stupidist one I have ever heard of was the man who went up ontop of an electrical tower and drank a 6-pack of beer. Aparantly he went up there to think often. After downing the 6 pack, he had to do what most drunk people do, take a piss. But instead of waiting untill he got home, the man pissed off of the tower...and onto a group of power lines. Electricty surged up, frying the man within an inch of his life. He would have lived had he not than fallen off of the tower, plumitting 100 ft to his untimly death.

It also has Raab Himself, Ryan Dunn and Brandon Damillico in it, who are also from Jackass. :D [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCBaggee Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 [color=red]I heard once about a man who attempted suicide by shooting himself in the chest 3 times with a 30-off-6. For those who don't get it, that means... Shoot *reload* Shoot *reload* Shoot I also know another failed gunshot suicide story that's too graphic to post here, so PM me if you absolutely must know. --Chris[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 *reads through his Darwin Awards book for his favorite story* This one guy gets in an argument with his 10 year old son. The argument gets so intense that he hands his son a 5-inch knife and tells him to stab him if he hates him so much. At first, the little boy drops the knife (didn't want to stab his own dad), but then Daddy Dearest puts the knife [i]back[/i] in his son's hand and keeps pressuring him to do it. Needless to say, the boy eventually stabbed his own father. The lesson? Don't put a weapon in someone hand when they're angry and tell them to stab you. That's not even ironic. That's just plain sad.

Manic Webb Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 lol, I thought I was the only person who noticed that Bush says "nuke-ular" instead of "nuclear." I started laughing so hard when I first heard him say that. It reminded me of an episode of The Simpsons. Speak: "...nuclear power plant..." Homer: "Nuke-ular. The word is nuke-ular."

Deedlit Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 [color=009966]A man decided to rob a bank. He stole the money, then ran back outside to his Get-Away car. When he got inside his car, he noticed that he was out of gas. The man gets out of his car and runs down the street until he gets to a car dealer. The crook then says to the manager that he would like to buy a car, so the manager hands the him some paperwork. While the dude was filling out the papers, the manager calls 911. About 5 minutes later, the police arrived and arrested the crook. But how did the manager know that he was a crook? ......Perhaps he should've taken the mask off his head.....[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 A man walks ino a convenience/corner store and asks the cashier for a paper bag. After receiving the paper bag, the man walks to be back of the store and cuts two holes into the bag and puts it over his head. He walks back up to the front of the store and attempts to rob the cashier. It was all caught on video. What is wrong with this picture? A robber walks into a corner store, only to find a shatter-proof glass shield guarding the cashier. The robber goes outside, grabs and brick, comes back in, and chucks it at the [b]shatter-proof[/b] glass shield. The brick [i]bounces[/i] off of the glass and hits the robber in the head. No cashiers were harmed. --edit-- hmm... my 666th post. Could this mean bad news for this post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semjaza Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Anyway... This reminds me of the True Stella Awards (named after that lady who won a lawsuit after spilling coffee on herself). I just got the winners by email heh. [quote]#7: Attorney Philip Shafer of Ashland, Ohio, flew on Delta Airlines from New Orleans to Cincinnati and was given a seat, he says, next to a fat man. "He was a huge man," Shafer says. "He and I [were] literally and figuratively married from the right kneecap to the shoulder for two hours." He therefore "suffered embarrassment, severe discomfort,mental anguish and severe emotional distress," he claims in a lawsuit against the airline. Shafer figures this embarrassment, discomfort, mental anguish and emotional distress could be cured by a $9,500 payment from Delta. If Shafer isn't careful, that might be dwarfed by the divorce settlement his "huge" (seat)mate might demand. #6: "The Godfather of Soul" James Brown has a "grudge" against his daughters Deanna Brown Thomas and Yamma Brown Lumar, they allege. They say Brown "vowed to the media that his daughters will never get a dime from him" and "James Brown has kept his word." So they have done what any kid would do when cut off from their rich daddy's bank account: they sued him for more than $1 million, claiming that they are owed royalties on 25 of his songs which, they say, they helped him write even though, at the time, they were children. For instance, when Brown's 1976 hit "Get Up Offa That Thing" was a chart-topper, the girls were aged 3 and 6. It's enough to make Brown switch to the Blues. #5: Utah prison inmate Robert Paul Rice, serving 1-15 years on multiple felonies, sued the Utah Department of Corrections claiming the prison was not letting him practice his religion: "Druidic Vampire". Rice claimed that to do that, he must be allowed sexual access to a "vampress". In addition, the prison isn't supplying his specific "vampiric dietary needs" (yes: blood). Records show that Rice registered as a Catholic when he was imprisoned in 2000. "Without any question we do not have conjugal visits in Utah," said a prison spokesman when the suit was thrown out. Which just goes to prove prison life sucks. #4: Every time you visit your doctor, you're told the same old things: eat less, exercise more, stop smoking. Do you listen? Neither did Kathleen Ann McCormick. The obese, cigarette-smoking woman from Wilkes-Barre, Penn., had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a family history of coronary artery disease. Yet doctors at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center "did not do enough" to convince her to work to improve her own health. Unsurprisingly, she had a heart attack which, she says in a federal lawsuit, left her a "cardiac invalid". In addition to eight doctors, she's suing their employer -- the U.S. government -- demanding a minimum of $1 million in compensation. #3: In 1997 Bob Craft, then 39, of Hot Springs, Montana, changed his name to Jack ***. Now, he says that MTV's TV show and movie "Jackass" was "plagiarized" from him, infringes his trademarks and copyrights, and that this has demeaned, denigrated and damaged his public image. No attorney would take the case, so he has filed suit on his own against MTV's corporate parent, demanding $50 million in damages. If nothing else, Jack *** has proved he chose his name well. #2: Hazel Norton of Rolling Fork, Miss., read there was a class action suit against the drug Propulsid, which her doctor had prescribed to her for a digestive disorder. Despite admitting that "I didn't get hurt by Propulsid," Norton thought "I might get a couple of thousand dollars" by joining the lawsuit. When her doctor was named in the suit, he quit his Mississippi practice -- where he was serving the poor. He left with his wife, a pediatrician and internist. That left only two doctors practicing at the local hospital. So while Norton wasn't harmed by the drug, all her neighbors now get to suffer from drastically reduced access to medical care because of her greed. AND THE WINNER of the 2002 True Stella Awards: sisters Janice Bird, Dayle Bird Edgmon and Kim Bird Moran sued their mother's doctors and a hospital after Janice accompanied her mother, Nita Bird, to a minor medical procedure. When something went wrong, Janice and Dayle witnessed doctors rushing their mother to emergency surgery. Rather that suing for malpractice, the lawsuit claimed "negligent infliction of emotional distress" -- not for causing distress to their mother, but for causing distress to THEM for having to SEE the doctors rushing to help their mother. The case was fought all the way to the California Supreme Court, which finally ruled against the women. Which is a good thing, since if they had prevailed doctors and hospitals would have had no choice but to keep YOU from being anywhere near your family members during medical procedures just in case something goes wrong. In their greed, the Bird sisters risked everyone's right to have family members with them in emergencies.[/quote] Another good one was about a women who tripped and broke her ankle at a furniture store. She was suing for lots and lots of money, and actually won. The weird part was that she didn't trip over the furniture, she tripped over her own son who was running around uncontrollably.

Lady Macaiodh Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 [color=darkblue]I read about this one in some random newspaper. A man--Man A--was hospitalized with a near-fatal concussion which he received in prison. When the attackers--Man B & Man C--were questioned, the following story was told: Man A had a pet spider that somehow escaped from his box & was found by Man B, who took possession of it. Man A confronted Man B demanding the return of his spider. The attack ensued when the spider specifically told Men B & C that he didn't want to go back with Man A because he (the spider) was being molested by Man A. Apparently, Men B & C believed the spider & decided to take matters into their own hands. Vigilante justice is served again.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
