darwinism at work [Feb. 13th, 2005|12:52 pm]
AP: Hobart man dies testing bulletproof vest
20-Year-Old Asked Friend To Shoot Him, Authorities Say

HOBART, Ind. -- A man whose friends initially said he was killed by gunfire outside a Gary liquor store actually died after he donned what he thought was a bulletproof vest and asked a cohort to shoot him.

A friend then shot Daniel Wright with a .20-gauge shotgun, but it turned out the vest Wright had put on Thursday was a flak jacket not designed to stop a bullet.

Wright, 20, was mortally wounded in the shooting and died later at a Gary hospital after two of his friends drove him there.

Three Hobart men who are now charged in the Crown Point man's shooting death said they concocted the story that he was murdered by a stranger outside a Gary liquor store in a panic after the Wright unexpectedly died.

Hobart police Lt. Leo Finnerty said Friday that Wright was going to join the military and wanted some battlefield experience.

So he went to a field in Hobart with his friends, donned what he thought was a bulletproof vest, and then told them: "Shoot me. I'm ready."

"He voluntarily put on the vest because he wanted to experience what a .20-gauge shotgun would do," Finnerty told the Post-Tribune of Merrillville.

The Lake County coroner's office said the plastic cartridge fired from the shotgun's blast pierced Wright's chest and some shotgun pellets ripped into his heart.



Hm, i think this would qualify for a Darwin award, no?

Senator says breast implant make women healthier, film at 11. [Feb. 8th, 2005|03:42 pm]
The post apparently caught senator-doctor Tom Coburn advocating the health benefits of breast implants for women:



Weird Science

Speaking of doctors, physician-Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), a new member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was at last week's meeting on a bill restricting class-action suits. "You know," he said, "I immediately thought about silicone breast implants and the legal wrangling and the class-action suits off that.

"And I thought I would just share with you what science says today about silicone breast implants. If you have them, you're healthier than if you don't. That is what the ultimate science shows. . . . In fact, there's no science that shows that silicone breast implants are detrimental and, in fact, they make you healthier."


If by healthier he means "more men drooling at your chest", then ok, i guess :/

This combination shows an image, left, posted on an Iraqi militant Web site on Tuesday Feb. 1, 2005 and an image provided by toy manufacturer Dragon Models USA of an action figure named " Cody" in a box. The Web site posted the photograph of what it claimed was a kidnapped U.S. soldier, but doubts were quickly raised about its authenticity and the U.S. military said no soldiers were missing. Dragon Models USA, said the figure in the photo resembled one of its military action figures originally produced for sale at U.S. bases in Kuwait. (AP Photo/Dragon Models USA, HO)

ABC News: New Developments in Cosby Fondling Investigation
Source: Investigators Conclude There Was Sexual Contact, Dispute Over Consent


Bill CosbyBill Cosby always makes room for jello, and by jello we mean hoes! (AP Graphics)

Jan. 27, 2005 — Investigators probing the sexual misconduct allegations made against Bill Cosby by a former Temple University employee have concluded there was sexual contact between the entertainer and the woman, but they are trying to determine whether it was consensual, a source close to the investigation has told ABC News.

Cosby met voluntarily with law enforcement officials Wednesday at a location outside Pennsylvania. A 31-year-old woman has accused Cosby, 67, of giving her a pill that rendered her semiconscious and fondling her at his Cheltenham Township, Pa., mansion early last year. Cosby has denied the allegations, his attorney called them "preposterous" and "bizarre."


Damn, that's too bad, because for a while last year, cosby was fucking bringing it.

i think this cbs news clip is actually from last weekend, but still - don't fucking drive out in the snow if you don't know what you're doing. (Note to the clueless: Driving through snow over ice downhill is a surefire recipe for a pileup!)

When even buses have a hard time getting around in the snow, i'd wish people would take that hint from god and stay the fuck home.

So apparently, Mason was storing all of its id card photos, student id numbers, SSNs and other sensitive personal information on a single windows box.

wp.com: George Mason Officials Investigate Hacking Incident


On Tuesday, the university handed over the hacked computer -- a Windows 2000 server -- to the Fairfax County Police Department. The police and the FBI were running forensic tests, looking for electronic clues to the hacker's identity. GMU is only the latest campus to be hit by a hacker. In the past two years, similar attacks occurred at the University of Georgia, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Missouri at Kansas City, the University of California at San Diego, and the University of California at Berkeley.


Way. To. Fucking. Go.

True, that box could have been rooted if it was running something else, but damn if that isn't just... asking for it.

People Die. [Dec. 29th, 2004|10:35 am]
People die.
It's the facts.
So there, I said it,
now you can relax.
How's my mom?
Pretty bad.
You asked and now I bet you wish you never had.

People die, la de da.
It gives the day a certain je ne sais quoi.
Soyou grieve for a spell; and you do the wake,
you wish the family well.

People die.
There they go!
You cannot say I did not tell you so.

Someday we'll be old and we'll read obituary pages like the sports.
We'll see an old friend's name and will it hurt?
Well yeah, of course, then we'll sigh. And
we'll dig up the crosswords,
'cause people die.
People die; it's the truth.

You can't be weird, you can't be too aloof.
But it's weird!
Folks get freaked and the confidential memos all get leaked.
People die. What I say?

You tell yourself you're with it come what may.
Someday we'll be old and we'll do funerals, like, every single day;
we'll see the children laughing
and we'll think how you wore shades 'cause you won't cry.
Then you go hit the white zin, 'cause people die.
Believe it or not, I'm trying to cheer you up,
and I can see it's not succeeding.
Nobody here's got what you're needing.

You're standing at the station and you don't know what's inside:
Here's your ticket, now ride.


-- 'People Die', Travis Morrison

CNN.com: Late Tupac Shakur back at No. 1


LOS ANGELES, California (Billboard) -- Late rapper Tupac Shakur grabbed his third posthumous U.S. chart-topper on Wednesday as "Loyal to the Game" entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1.

The Amaru/Interscope set, featuring contributions by the likes of Eminem, Nate Dogg and Jadakiss, sold 330,000 copies in the week ended December 19, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It becomes his fifth No. 1 on the tally.

Since his 1996 murder, Tupac's album sales have totaled more than 18 million units in the United States, with a career total of 24.4 million. His previous album, "Better Dayz," debuted in 2002 at No. 5 with 366,000 copies; it has sold 1.6 million to date.


bwahahaha... tupac's posthumous success never ceases to amuse me.
