To continue the moronic submissions, this story out of Australia. I’ll just quote the article:

A family of three has been injured in a car crash after a five-year-old boy sitting on his mother’s lap allegedly steered the vehicle because she was too drunk to drive. The boy’s nine-year-old brother allegedly told staff at Nambour Hospital, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, that his mother had been drinking and wanted her youngest son to steer the car while she operated the pedals, police said.

I feel more sorry for the kids than I do the mom. She’s an idiot, and put the lives of her kids in danger because she had a few too many to drink. Too bad she didn’t die, then she’d be eligible for the Darwin Awards.

Man, what an idiot. He next plans to break 50 baseball bats with his knee. The 34-year-old fitness expert claimed to have entered the Guinness Book of Records after three concrete blocks were smashed on his groin, the Asian Age newspaper reported on Monday. The previous record was two. Full Story Here. Talk about a ball breaker.

This is something, in this day and age, you should never do. According to this Reuters Wire Story, An anti-terrorism squad raided the home of a Danish family after mistaking a light-hearted message on their answering machine for a hostage alert. Whoops….

Maybe you heard about the 5 Arab terrorists who supposedly entered the U.S. via Canada within the last couple weeks. It was the lead story on CNN on a couple occassions. Understand, however, that it was pure speculation and there wasn’t any proof that terrorists (Arab or otherwise) came in to the U.S., via Canada or anywhere. But all it took was a few media outlets, and a few politicians to say a few words about it, and everybody is in a frenzy. What a mess. Read the full article here.
