this street is odd lol, it's close to my house so I went there and left my car with the gear set on "N", and the car started to move up the street not down. |

I do not think the man who died eating those roaches would be eligible for the Darwin Award.
The bugs used in those contests are bred in a clean environment, as pet food for exotic, expensive pets. They do not have any venom in them, nor do they carry the hazardrous bacterial found in common roaches. Meaning, eating those aren't really any different than eating crabs and shrimp, just a whole lot more grotesque. There was no need for concern as a participant for fatal illness. Most likely the man who died had a natural allergic reaction to something in those bugs, that he had no idea of. Which can happen to anyone, had the individual not been exposed to the said chemical before. So the death is not due to the stupidity of the contestant or the organizers. Thus, Darwin Award would be looked over for this poor fella.

Hacker Goes on Massive WoW Killing Spree; World Survives:
"It was a case of death imitating art. Or at least virtual game world imitating cartoon. In a scene reminiscent of a famous South Park episode, a hacker went on a massive killing spree in World of Warcraft over the weekend, taking advantage of a vulnerability to off hordes of characters in the popular online game before game administrators stepped in to stop him. His massacre was captured on video (see above). The bloodbath is similar to a popular 2006 episode of the animated series South Park called “Make Love, Not Warcraft,” in which the cartoon’s four lead characters faced off against a player in the massive multi-player game who went on a character-killing rampage." See: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/201...usands-in-wow/ But how do you kill that which has no life? |

Just makes one proud of humanity.... where *are* the damn tigers? They'd clear the gene pool especially if we up-armored them and gave them guns.
