I mean, I really can't express this any other way. Teenage agnst? Intoxication? Drugs? No, just stupid...

Australian teenager mauled after jumping into crocodile-infested river for a dare

https://www.yahoo.com/news/austra...

"It all happened very fast, pretty much as soon as he jumped in, there was splashing and screaming."

And the collective IQ of humanity once again, refuses to rise... thanks for nothing, crocodiles!

Thats just like this article;

People that stupid can't be reproducing, all you get is more idiots. Good work dumbass.

Oh, he lived? That's a shame.

Doesn't even shock me....

why are so many people bagging this guy?

"im the one whos got to die, when its time for me to die. so let me live my life the way i want to."

as far as i can understand he only put his own life at risk.

"he punched the crok"

not many people can say they punched a crok to escape.

also "he is expected to make a FULL recovery".

Must have been the sinister triple-dog-dare. You can't just refuse the coup de grace of all dares.

2017 and people are still sending PS1 games in bubble mailers.  

A man was recently electrocuted charging his iPhone while sitting in a bath:

Brutal.

What if it was sandwiched between a couple pieces of cardboard? Would that be acceptable?
 

I think this guy's actions fit in well with Australian culture. Was it dumb to jump in water despite the warning sign? Sure. But all teens tend to make 1 or 2 stupid mistakes.
Aussies are brave and think they can wrestle crocs, right? Well, turns out this guy can (even though the saltie he had a run-in with was luckily small enough for him to handle).
I'm sure he's not the only young Aussie to have jumped in the water here and lived to tell the tale. The iPhone guy and even the other croc guy was way stupider.

Depends on the price of the game, I guess.

I can understand why somebody would use a $0.20 bubble mailer and a couple of pieces of cardboard versus a $2 dedicated CD/DVD mailer, depending on how much the item is selling for.

 

I doubt that is any more prevalent than Americans that think they can wrestle a grizzly bear or beat up a shark.

 

If true, what a let-down. /plays more Bayou Billy
 

Had a demo playstation disc on ebay. Someone asked me what a demo was and was it the full game.

Probably a shoe in for my top 10 facepalm questions on ebay lol

Except some of us can wrestle a bear  

You're talking about a different kind of "bear"...

Interesting, apparently bathroom power outlets are illegal in Britain rather than requiring GFCI outlets like the US. It seems like that would lead to situations like this more often than if they just allowed GFCI outlets.

They're a little ambiguous about how they describe it, but they MUST mean than the actual wall-wart plug (and the end of the extension cord) fell into the tub, right?

Because the phone-end of that plug is only carrying 5V DC at maybe 1A, max.
(which I'd be surprised could do the kind of damage they are referring to -- I mean, it might be able to stop your heart if you're really unlucky, but probably not cause burns, etc)

 

boy is he lucky he only met a baby croc!  
 

Don't be jelly of my grisley skills

If you're into all that fur, more power to you, I guess.

The fur is bearly noticeable

Here's an update on the moron

https://www.yahoo.com/news/croc-h...

"In a bid to woo Sophie Paterson, Lee de Paauw jumped into Johnstone River at Innisfail in Queensland...De Paauw, 18, was lucky to escape with only two broken bones and stitches...He said the stunt was to impress "that beautiful backpacker"..."I would have to be quite twisted to be impressed by that," she said...Paterson said she would visit de Paauw if work demands allowed, but she added that there were no plans for the two to date, telling reporters he was "too young for me"."

"Too young"? How about so stupid he makes a dinosaur look like Einstein next to him! In other news, how many people think this will in some way shape or form enter "reality" TV? :/

That actually made me cry I was laughing so hard!!! "Fuck that alligator" should be written on his tombstone. RIP alligator guy, it was totally worth it.

Man Burns Down Parents Home, Kills Three Pets While Trying To Exterminate Ants: Officials

https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-bu...

"21-year-old Devon Doucette was trying to incinerate the ants with wooden matches when he inadvertently ignited combustible material...two cats and a dog were killed in the fire... The fundraiser was created Sunday with a goal of $10,000. By Monday, that amount had been surpassed."

SIGH. No amount of money can fix the underlying problem here.
