bojan Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Russians I think. Trying to get out solidified grease left over when shipping plug was removed.
Sami Jumppanen Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Do you guys think that the TNT inside the shell might melt if the shell is left out into sun?
toysoldier Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I would be very impressed if the Russian sun melts anything, even TNT
shep854 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 At least he's not using a .50 cartridge as a hammer! Been done, results unsurprising...
Soren Ras Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 This seems appropriate to one of the Darwin award threads: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/11881900/More-people-have-died-by-taking-selfies-this-year-than-by-shark-attacks.html ...Most of the selfie-related deaths have been due to falling. The next most common is when people are trying to take a selfie, and they're hit by a moving vehicle....Selfie deaths have become so rife in Russia that the government released a guide detailing how not to die while taking a picture of yourself.In the guide, it is advised that selfie takers don't balance on dangerous surfaces or pose with loaded weapons, among other tips....Yellowstone National Park has also been plagued by the problem, issuing a warning about taking selfies with bison after five people were gored.Another man was close to losing a hand after posing with a rattlesnake, and more than one person has died snapping themselves with loaded guns. Ah, Nature. The gene pool man is always working... --Soren
sunday Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 It does, rest assured it does! Chernobyl for you Mistaking chemical power for nuclear one is also deserving of a Darwin award. And that Chernobyl incident was only a power transient, anyway.
DougRichards Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Some people travel a long way for a Darwin Award. This departed Viking travelled from Sweden to Australia, but I doubt that his demise will entitle him to an entry to Valhalla: My sympathies go to the car driver in this one. I have to comment that these idiots were riding the trolley down a steep street, not a gentle incline. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-10/man-dead-another-badly-hurt-after-shopping-trolley-crash/6926040 A Swedish man was killed and another seriously injured when the shopping trolley they were joyriding slammed into a car in Sydney's east. One man, 28, was in the trolley on Coogee Bay Road at Randwick, while another man, also 28, was riding behind it. The man inside the trolley died at the scene after he was "catapulted out" during the crash just after midnight, while the other man was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition. Police said one of the men was a student and the other was visiting Australia from Sweden. Officers did not specify which of the two had died. Detective Superintendent Gavin Dengate from the Eastern Beaches command said the trolley smashed into a car travelling in the opposite direction near Judge Street."We do know the car heading west was travelling [at] what we believe was within the speed limit," he said. "It's a 60 kilometre per hour zone and at 60kph, that is fast enough to kill you. "The male that was in the shopping trolley was catapulted out, landing in a kerb on the southern side of the road, the other person landed after the collision in the middle of the road." Detective Superintendent Dengate said it appeared the men were simply "mucking around" before the crash, and the driver of the car was not at fault. "We're conducting inquiries into a number of areas but that's certainly one theory, but certainly not the only theory that we're looking at," he said."From initial inquiries, it's believed they would have been skylarking, or maybe using it as some form of vehicle. "But we're still yet to find out exactly what happened. "I suppose we all know, because we've all used shopping trolleys, how dangerous they are, how you can't manoeuvre a shopping trolley. "It must be one of the most dangerous things you can do." The 45-year-old driver of the vehicle was taken to hospital for mandatory blood testing, but was not hurt. Detective Superintendent Dengate said a number of passers-by stopped as well as the driver of the car. "They stopped and helped people they saw were in need, in a very bad need of some urgent attention," he said. The police investigation continues. Local resident Victoria James said it was a shocking accident. "It wasn't very nice for my children, walking up there this morning ... there's blood up there and it's all very nasty," she said.
Guest Jason L Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Do you guys think that the TNT inside the shell might melt if the shell is left out into sun? Most explosives melt at around 80-100C so juuuuust maybe at the extremes of temperature. I don't really see the Darwin worthiness here. What they're doing really isn't that dangerous. Certainly not recommended, but hardly suicidal.
DB Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I know we've got all sorts of possibilities for stupid criminals, but Santa is apparently unwelcome in California. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3338055/Suspected-burglar-stuck-chimney-home-day-dies-homeowner-lights-fire.html?ito=social-facebook
shep854 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 A singularly horrible way to go--claustrophobic asphyxiation...
DB Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 At the risk of seeming heartless... If you can't do the time...
Mr King Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Is it not awesome how these guys always have previous mugshots.
DB Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Anecdotally, a couple of friends of mine in the Metropolitan Police tell me that if they make a concerted effort in a particular borough and arrest maybe a dozen people and keep them off the streets, crime drops by 90%. they often know exactly who it is by the weakest of descriptions and the MO. It's mainly bag/phone snatches and opportunistic burglary numbers that drop. Sure, it's a combination of taking the most prolific offenders off the streets, but there will also be an element of the other criminals moving to the borough next door when a "surge" is on.
BP Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Think they're pissed at him now? Wait until they find out he gave them a fake name when he got arrested. "Otto Warmbier". Riiigghhtt.
BansheeOne Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I saw that this morning and thought ... Otto Warmbier? Otto Warmbier???! What is he, a Morporkian?
BP Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I saw that this morning and thought ... Otto Warmbier? Otto Warmbier???! What is he, a Morporkian? His fraternity brothers Nacho Tacobell and Jaeger Doinshotz were able to get away unscathed.
Jeff Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I saw that this morning and thought ... Otto Warmbier? Otto Warmbier???! What is he, a Morporkian? His fraternity brothers Nacho Tacobell and Jaeger Doinshotz were able to get away unscathed. Indeed, he thought a little frat boy prank would be real cute. I bet he was mighty surprised when he started jabbering about his rights and the NorKs just laughed. The very definition of the word "dumbass".
swerve Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I saw that this morning and thought ... Otto Warmbier? Otto Warmbier???! What is he, a Morporkian?Naaah, with a name like that he's from Überwald, like Otto von Chriek - whose home town is Bad Schüschein.
BansheeOne Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I didn't want to become too arcane for the off-Discworlders.
