The weekend was a bit slow with news I would normally touch on in this blog.
I refuse to bore you with my thoughts on my Cincinnati Bengals draft results or how Brady Quinn died a little inside when he was drafted by the Browns (just kidding Gerrit). And after the Virginia Tech incident, I really shouldn’t touch on the irony surrounding the Kansas City shootings which occurred directly in front of a Target store.
Actually, does a shooting incident in front of a Target store even qualify as irony? Let’s consult that Alanis Morissette song: “It’s like rain on your wedding day. It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid.” Now I remember my English teacher in high school lecturing us students about how nothing described within that song was in fact irony. I’m confused.
A girl fell off a balcony at the University of Virginia’s Pi Kappa Alpha house early Sunday morning. That’s bad. The girl was 17 years old. That’s worse.
The University’s newspaper, The Cavalier Daily, reports that the girl was leaning on the balcony’s railing during a party when it gave way.
The house supposedly had just past a recent inspection and the Pikes claim the girl came with a band which had played at the party that night. Luckily, the girl is in stable condition.
The kid in this first video may have been literally beaten with a bible when word got to his mother that he posted this first video on the Internet. The teenager tells his catholic mother that he is is an Atheist. Watch the video for her response:
I don’t know who was filming, but he deserves a pat on the back as well.
Less than two months after the death of the real Captain America, a man who was apparently honoring the fallen hero by wearing his costume was arrested recently for assaulting a woman with a burrito in Melbourne, Fla.
The report from WFTV said that during a pub crawl for medical professionals, Dr. Raymond Adamcik, 54, began asking women in a bar if they would touch his burrito which was stuffed in his tights. After one female refused, he allegedly removed the burrito and groped her.
The woman then called police who arrived to find multiple men dressed as Captain America. After the correct one was identified and the burrito was found hidden in his boot, the man was arrested and placed in a holding cell.
The man then asked to use the restroom and tried unsuccessfully to flush a joint. Here are more arrest pics: 1|2|3|4|5.
Recent news has skewed toward the foul lately as feces seems to be up to its usual shenanigans.
Earlier this month in Beijing, China, a woman fell off her sixth-floor balcony only to be saved by a pile of excrement. The report published on Yahoo! News said that workers were emptying a septic tank when the woman fell into the 20-centimeter-think collection of… poo.
The story is humorously similar to a verse in a song called “Shaving Cream” written in 1946 by Benny Bell during which a baby falls out of a window only to be saved by a barrel of sh…aving cream. I’ve included a video of the song at the end of this post.
If you’re an individual that has been waiting for the 123rd reason to switch to Firefox for your Internet browsing, this may be what finally converts you.
Do you see all those broken links in the posts below? That means you’re still using IE and you’re not getting the full experience of this blog like your peers using Firefox.
I use Firefox on both my home and work machines, which is why I wasn’t aware of the problem until just now.
The problem originates from how IE handles embedded videos in a blog created using WordPress, the blogging program I use to create all these wonderful posts. And there appears to be no easy solution.
