Equal access to printed material for the blind is an issue that’s pretty close to our hearts for obvious reasons, so I’m happy to plug this petition. No matter how many times I hear something like this, I’m always baffled and saddened by corporations that don’t want to not only do the right thing as …
Angry Drunks On A Plane, Or Roger Stephens Goes Flying
Someone else has gone all Roger Stephens on a screaming kid, but apparently Joe Hundley decided to raise the bar by also being a drunken racist. The boy’s mother, Jessica Bennett, 33, told the FBI their flight was on final descent into Atlanta when her 19-month-old son started to cry due to the altitude change. …

No Officer, That Wasn’t A Ringtone. It Was Just Me Farting

Alligator Guy, Alligator Guy, One Bit Me On The Arm And One Bit Me On The Eye
Not that there’s always a whole lot of it to question, but I often find myself questioning the logic of people who run from the police. For starters, you’re probably not going to get away, so why go to all the trouble? And when they do catch you, that takedown is going to suck, there’s …

Based on the amount of money you find yourself having to part with, it seems a reasonable assumption that your time there may not be going as well as you had hoped. Faced with this reality, I can only imagine the thought process of Fernando Costa went …

Deer Crossing Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means
My sister sent me this Please Move The Deer Crossing video a while ago, but I kept forgetting about it and losing it among the far too many messages in my completely ridiculous inbox. Part of the reason is that I was sure it had to be a fake. Her description made it sound like …

Man Down The Hole
I’ve never dropped my keys down a manhole, but just imagining it is enough to make me feel my heart sink a little. So when 49-year-old Richard Brandenberg offered his experience working in sewers to a woman who did, I’m sure she was thrilled. I’m also pretty sure that the thrilled feeling began to dissipate …
