How does this happen?
I need someone to tell me how it is possible to strap your baby into his/her child seat, drive off, forget to take your kid to the babysitters, go to work all day, still not remember that little Johnny is in the car, only have your memory jogged by your wife who wonders why your …
I Just Called To Say I’m Thirsty
I think we’re getting into SMS tea kettle territory with this one. A group of postgraduate students from New York University has developed a service [presumably for people who are too stupid to figure things like this out on their own] that will enable plants that are either too wet or too dry to phone …
Another Fine Parenting Example
Why didn’t this story come in a few hours earlier? I could have included it in my rant about bad parents. Oh well, here it is now, to add to the pile. Scott Scherer and Melanie Hardrath really love to go watch the Packers play. They really love their memorabilia too. But they don’t love …
Thank God These Two Didn’t Breed!
Wow. This story is just, um, well, stupid. The guy feels like an idiot, does he? So he should. Let’s tell a quick version of the story, as quick as possible anyway. Michael Moylan, 45, woke up with crazy head pain. He asked his wife to drive him to the hospital. He wondered why she …
Why are these people having kids?
Lately, I can’t stop seeing stories of parents who don’t seem to have the first clue how to take care of their kids’ most basic needs. Let’s count the things I’ve seen in the past couple weeks. There’s this 63-year-old idiot who left an 11-month old girl, they say it’s hers, in a hot car …

Big Brother is Failing Miserably.
Remember when Britain instituted CCTV’s to watch and listen to pedestrians, and then made it possible for police to yell at them? Remember what their reasoning was? It was so the streets would be safer. Well, mission far from accomplished. On the street with over 100 cameras watching it, the crime rate is far from …
Meet George Jetson
There are so many questions I have about this story. Where do I begin? How in hell is something that is 1 foot tall weighing 200 pounds? I cannot imagine how you could pack so much weight into such a small space. No wonder when it is low on power, it returns to its dock …
Please Read the Emergency Instructions in The Seat Pocket In Front Of You. No Really, You’re Going to Need Them.
This Brazilian plane crash belongs in an episode of Mayday. Let’s count the horrible happenings. The runway is dangerously short and nicknamed the aircraft carrier. It’s slippery when wet. It was newly-paved, but they didn’t bother to cut grooves in it to drain water. They never closed it, despite the lack of grooves being a, …
