Traffic officials has been assigned to count cars on a street — a deserted cul-de-sac.

The Pentagon has wasted $100-million of tax-payer dollars on unused airline tickets. And it gets better:

The department compounded the problem by reimbursing employee claims for tickets bought by the Pentagon, the investigators said.

[…]

A prior report, issued last November, found that the Pentagon bought 68,000 first-class or business-class airline seats for employees who should have flown coach.

EMT arrives at scene of fatal hit-and-run only to realize that he’d run the man over right about here the night before. Full Story.

If you steal somebody’s software (especially a small, labor-of-love, project), don’t go crying to the author of said software when your pirated version suddenly stops working, like these morons did to Nick Bradbury.

Man mugs some kids, forgets that his shirt has his name on it.

This guy is an absolute moron. Thanks Barney for the link.

In the “Things I’ve Been Meaning To Link To But Have Forgotten” pile, comes an article that pisses me off. A New York Times article reports that a tape recording made on 9/11/01 containing statements from “at least six air traffic controllers who dealt with two of the hijacked airliners .. was destroyed by a supervisor without anyone making a transcript or even listening to it.”

Genius. Does this moron still have a job?

The article goes on to say that the supervisor crushed the tape in his hand before tossing it. Quoting this BB post, “I just tried to crush a cassette in my hand. I couldn’t do it. I know my upper body strength isn’t what it ought to be, but I don’t see how any normal human could crush a cassette in his or her bare hand. I therefore conclude that the manager is not human. He is probably a very smart, shaved, and clothed chimp. Supporting evidence: In 1924, the Bronx Zoo tested the grip strength of people and chimpanzees using a dynamometer. A 160-pound male human had a grip strength of 210 pounds. But a 135-pound female chimp had a grip strength of 1260 pounds. Anybody have a pet chimp so we can test this out? I’ll pay for the cassette.”

If I’d ever met him, I’d beat the tar out of this guy for putting his precious video game system in front of his baby. Full Story.

Partygoers apparently hoping to catch a glimpse of nude sunbathers crowded on one side of a floating barge, prompting the ship to capsize and dump all 60 people into the lake. Idiots.
