    Speaking of popular dumbasses:

    Yes, it's that magical time of year again when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the "least evolved" among us.
    Here Is The Glorious Winner:

    1. When his .38 caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach , California would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.

    And Now, The Honorable Mentions:

    2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.

    3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.

    4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.

    5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.

    6.. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer... $15. [If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?]

    7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.

    8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."

    9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 5 A.M., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast... The frustrated gunman walked away. [*A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER]

    10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street by sucking on a hose, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline, but he plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had and the perp had been punished enough!

    In the interest of bettering mankind, please share these with friends and family.... unless of course one of these individuals by chance is a distant relative or long lost friend. In that case, be glad they are distant and hope they remain lost.

    It's taken a LOT of "won't power". :bug: I manage to keep asking myself "Is this good for album art or pinups, and do I already have something similar?" and that seems to keep the content lust demon at bay. For now, anyway. :red:

    Callie was a near thing, she's a younger, toony-er version of Girl 6 and would likely look hot in a corset and heels, but.. I have Girl 6.. meh..

    ...yeah illustrating a story requires a lot of different resources, especially when it involves several geographic locations and different time periods.

    Sped Reding, huh? TroutFace, I like you because you're such a nut. I misread this post with my Sped Reding and saw was First Baptist. Made sense to me.

    And I'm almost caught up with this thread.

    I've been told my many folks, even in "Real Life" (whatever THAT is) that I'm a "character", and they seemed to mean it in a non-bad way. :red: I am certainly "eccentric" and "eclectic".

    I just call myself downright weird and leave it at that! :P
    ...same here. Were there not so many prima donnas in the acting profession, I would have stayed with that in college.

    Yeah, when I was trying to do a Webcomic on my wheezy second-gen i5, I'd find myself grabbing all the characters I could because I can't model anything more complex than a sphere (lol), although I was getting somewhere with Wings for a bit.

When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer... $15. [If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?]

    7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.

    8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."

    9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 5 A.M., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast... The frustrated gunman walked away. [*A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER]

    10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street by sucking on a hose, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline, but he plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had and the perp had been punished enough!

    ...love #7 Actually read the story for on the local news site #10.


    Though not a Darwin award candidate, I have to give props to this guy in Madison WI a couple years ago who stole a Krispy Kreme truck for a joy ride. Nothing more humourous than watching police cars chasing a donut truck.

    I remember hearing about a man who walked into a doughnut shop and pulled out a gun, only to discovered that there were six cops sitting inside. He didn't get very far

    No, Universal and SeaWorld and DisneyWorld are competitors. But within Universal and DisneyWorld read your pass details carefully!!

    Universal covers "Universal Studios" and "Islands of Adventure" but is separate from DisneyWorld and from SeaWorld.

    DisneyWorld covers "Epcot", "Magic Kingdom", "Animal Kingdom",and "Hollywood Studios"* (and "Typhoon Lagoon" but I'm not sure how that fits into Disney's pass and transport arrangements. Read your details carefully)

    SeaWorld is just SeaWorld. It has a big rollercoaster and a few other rides but is mostly sea creature centric entertainment. Because of recent controversies I don't know if they still have Killer Whale shows or let you pet the porpoises (porpoisi?), but the grounds of SeaWorld are alive with flowers. One can make a good day of SeaWorld. It's a less hectic pace than the other parks.

    "Downtown Disney" is a shopping/food area, not a park but is located very distantly on Disney's property and doesn't have monorail service like the other Disney parks do.

    Universal's "CityCenter" is also a shopping/food area, not a park but is located directly on Universal's property.


    Sounds like a great time especially the 3 days of pool time for recovery.

    There used to be several other parks in the area back in the 80s and 90s. There was CircusWorld, MedievalWorld, and even HubCapWorld (I kid you not!)

    *Disney's "Hollywood Studios" park used to be called "MGM Studios"..

    That will do you a lot of good if it rains tomorrow on the way to work! I hate when that happens!
