I find it amusing, that the story that probably best reflects/., is also the one most likely to be disqualified. The note at the bottom of the Laptop Still Works indicates the following:
Darwin says, "This nomination is not popular. It is against the rules to receive a Darwin Award if you injure innocent people. I thought this event might qualify anyway, because the driver was an idiot, and the occupants of the Hummer were not seriously injured. But it seems that I was wrong. This story will likely be removed from the archive soon."
It seems like Canada and America share a similar relation to Australia and New Zealand. America and Australia are going more and more overboard in their laws, while Canada and New Zealand seem to keep things together. Just a random thought that popped up.
Sweet! So 17 beers helps prevent prostate cancer and coffee prevents cirrhosis... Besides the 30 trips to the bathroom a day from drinking a pot of coffee and 17 beers I'm all set!!!
He's facing a maximum of 5 years and that fine only for the charges that are being pressed on him from New Jersey. What prison time and fines he may face in the other mentioned state (Virginia) isn't listed in the article.
You see, the solution is very simple: Just show 100 or so episodes of Luke Skywalker just being a normal farmboy. The canon is kept, George Lucas has his show, and everybody still loses in the end.
It's not the blackhole that they found, but the gas that was about to fall into the black hole. As gas goes around a black hole, it forms a sort of disc that spirals inward. As it gets closer to the event horizon, it speeds up. The friction and collisions of the gas become great, and as they heat up they give off radiation. It's the radiation that the scientists are detecting.
This seems highly amusing to me. A kid with no sense of reality. who seems to think that he could survive uninjured from such a fall, decides to make such a jump. The parents decide to sue Blizzard over the game.
Honestly though, I'd never let any kids I have in the future do anything this dumb though. I'd be sure to make sure that they know the difference between reality and fantasy, and that what they see on TV, movies, and in games isn't always real. However, if any of the kids I have do die in such a manner, I'll be sad yes, but I wouldn't sue the game manufacturer. The blame would rest on me for not looking after my own kid, and also on my kid for beleiving he could do such a thing.
I'm sure that under the Power Companies, you have to buy electricity off of them as well. No electricity, no internet. So yeah, you'll be suckered in by them as well by paying for a service that you may not want.
An "iris hole"? Are you sure that you don't mean "pupil"?
Ted: Oh my god! There's a hole in my iris! Aiieeeee!! Ed: Uhh.. dude, that's just your pupil. Ted: A pupil? Like that kind that goes to school and makes out with the teacher? Ned: Uh, no dude. Now give me the bong, I think you've had enough dope for now..
No no, you see, the Earth has to be flat. If it was round, we'd all slide around the surface going faster and faster until we are thrown off into space. Plus, it has to be flat or else we wouldn't be able to stand on it.
So yes, the Earth is flat. Because I'm not sliding all the way around the Earth until I gain enough momentum to be shot into the Sun.
Wait, maybe chlorine bleach is the cure! We just inject everyone with bleach, and those that survive evolve in a new species capable of handling chlorine bleach!
Viola, a cure, and a new human species who can handle poisons!
Ermm.. ever heard of a paper cut? The paper isn't forming a wedge, it's just that it's so thin and also rigid that it can cut you if you aren't careful.
Aha! So that's where Microsoft got the name! After stealing some features from the Apple HQ, they were driving away when they noticed the road name and decided to put the new features into a Windows Vista!
I knew that there had to be a link between the name Windows Vista and Apple, and by god I've found it!

Undoing moderation. Ignore this comment.
Maybe so. However, there has been a Gameboy that survived the Gulf War. It looks pretty badly scorched.
Here in Iowa (USA), I got 5526 down and 726 up.
No. It'll be Gigantor.

This idea isn't even old. I've seen a program on Discovery Science channel talking about Snowball Earth twice within the past year or so.
I can think of many crashes where you would need to reinstall your underwear.. Some of which may also cause a system dump.
Yeah, they had to cut costs somewhere, so if you want a spacesuit for the walk, you have to pay extra.
They're coming after all our vices. Why are you egging them on?
Hey, we've still got our violent movies and videogames, porn, and gambling.. Oh wait..

Up until you kilter over from kidney failure..

The link leads to some sort of science blog. An interesting discovery none the less.
Wow.. Am I actually seeing a goatse post being modded +2 Funny? That should be breaking several New Years Resolutions.
Maybe they freak out because if a volcano erupted when it was snowing, it'd be hard to tell the ash and the snow apart?
