Here comes another lawsuit that shouldn’t have gone forward, but it is. It’s been a long-standing thing that if a fan gets hit by a foul ball or an errant piece of bat, they can’t sue. But apparently 5 supreme court judges said that wasn’t true anymore in the case of 8-year-old Tara Sweeney, who …

Going Down!
You know, something tells me David Senior wasn’t able to ease that girl’s fear of heights when, while telling her that leaning over the hotel balcony was safe, he leaned over it and fell four storeys onto the roof of the hotel’s restaurant. Woops. I love the description of the guy falling. “I heard this …
If The Walls could Talk, they’d Scream
This story about a family suing their real estate agent for not telling them a murder was committed in the house they just bought makes me think of that Simpson’s episode where Marge is selling real estate and ends up selling the house where someone was murdered to the Flanders family. but it also makes …
Might As Well Revise the "Might As Well Go For A soda" Lyrics
More fights over food, only this time it was something to drink. Specifically, two brothers fought over a coke. The funniest part is the guy who was originally angry about the drinking of the coke ended up shot dead by the other guy. It’s a coke, guys. Now you have one less family member. Just …

Secret and Stolen Identities
Oh boy. This story just keeps getting better and better. Can it get any more awesome? First, there was the whole pistol-whipping of a customer at Goomba’s Pizzeria by the owner, then the revelation that the owner was a mobster, now the victim wasn’t being completely honest either. No, he wasn’t in the Witness-protection program, …
Getaway Fail
This burglary gone horribly wrong reminds me of that old story of that shoplifter getting smoked by her getaway car while trying to get into it. Only in this story, Derek Clark didn’t do so well. He was shot by his would-be victim, and then got run over twice by his getaway vehicle before it,well, …
Stupidi-Tea
Last week sometime, I noticed a search on our tracker thingy that said something to the effect of “snopes teabag protest mailing.” I looked at that, befuddled and confused. I went to snopes, and found no entries. So I gave it no more thought. Today, I get my snopes newsletter thingy, and Voila!” I now …
Public Transportation Survey
It’s been a slow day for the blog, so I thought I’d at least post this. I get the sense this survey is only intended for americans, but what the heck, I filled it out and it didn’t ask me where I was from, so they can do what they want with my data. It’s …
Ok, who Omelet-Burped In Here?
I’ve been meaning to post about this burp gas-filtering device for the last couple of days for two reasons. I could use that silly title and make an inside joke, and I could laugh at the text quoted by the folks atWeird Universe where I found it. This is the description they quoted. It serves …
Here’s What I Think of Conflict Resolution
This story reminded me of an old story Steve posted about where some dude clonked a random woman with his anger management book. In this case, some kids were trying to resolve a conflict with the help of some administrative officials and parents, and one of them managed to inflict pretty serious harm with a …
