Hey,,,,hold my beer and watch this.

“lol at HPM.

Bubba: "Hey, Vern, do you think that this thing is really dangerous like the label says?" (dangerous is a 3 syllable word but let's give the guy some credit)

Vern: "I dunno Bubba, wanna see? hyuck!"”

“I think they should just remove all the warning labels and let the dumb kill themselves off...that would solve a lot of the world's over population problems right there.”

“Where do you think the dumb, get their ideas Spriti? Could they really think this stuff up on their own???”

“Somebody oughta to a study on that.”

“Somebody wanna hold my beer for me?”

“"Why on earth he was heating a lava lamp on the stove?"

Cause lava is supposed to be hot and flowing.

Do I see a lawsuit coming?”

“The inside of those things are cool! I tripped over the cord of one and it tipped over and broke sending oil and unheated wax all over the place.”

“You know, you'd think that there's a reason that they tell you not to use more than a 40-watt appliance light bulb in those things...”

“And why did the dumbass go for the bedroom? No phone in the kitchen?”

I could be wrong, but with a shared of glass in one's heart, death comes rather quickly.

Before death, perhaps, as the blood gushes out, one goes into shock, possibly panicking....if there is time to panic. I would imagine most would stumble around, making "weird" decisions in split seconds.

Dieter is no 'skeeter.

The Cleveland radio sidekick apparently missed that sage advice: Don't lick a bug-zapper.

Dieter learned a harsh lesson Friday during a stunt on "Rover's Morning Glory" on "Xtreme Radio" (WXTM FM/92.3). He plugged in a dirty, back-porch hanging contraption and stuck his tongue on the wire grate.

Zap.

"He shook, contorted, and hit the floor," said Kim Monroe, WXTM's program director. "He was covered in goose-bumps." Unlike millions of summer mosquitoes and other flying annoyances, Dieter recovered.

"I saw sparks and the next thing I knew I was just out," said Dieter, 25, on Monday. He was taken to the hospital for a few hours, and is now on pain killers, antibiotics and salve. "My tongue is so-ah," he added. "It's ha-hd to talk." The stunt drew a minor storm of media coverage, but there were still questions about whether it was just another goofy radio hoax.

Seeing the brown, scabby, blecchy mess on Dieter's tongue is, well, shockingly real.

"Dare Dieter" is a regular Friday feature. In true "Jackass" fashion, he has staple-gunned his testicles to his leg, snorted ants, placed his #&%!$ in a mousetrap, walked barefoot on glass, and had his butt branded (to prove it, he pulled down his pants and revealed a large, scarlike "D" on his rear end).

A listener, "Mark in Westlake," had suggested Dieter stand in a bucket of water while licking a bug-zapper. Apparently, drier minds prevailed and the water was jettisoned. Standing by were Rover, sidekick Duji, and some EMS workers.

"At first we didn't want to touch him," said Rover. "We didn't want to get electrocuted."

“I think tying a 10lb concrete block to his leg...and they both get tossed off a 10 story building to see which hits the ground first, should be their next experiment.”

“Only a yankee would lick a bug zapper.

In the south, they would just piss on an electric fence.”

“Boy that's dumb. The story doesn't say, but I bet alcohol was involved.”

“She literally said . .. hey wtch what I can do . .

NORTH FORT MYERS, Florida (AP) -- A woman fell to her death while trying to do a handstand on the railing of a second-floor hotel balcony, sheriff's officials said.

Molly Jerman, 23, of Cape Coral died Sunday. While attempting a handstand, she toppled over and dropped to the hotel patio, according to the Lee County sheriff's department.

Just before she fell, she had called out to a friend, "Watch to see what I can still do," a police report said. Foul play is not believed to be involved, officials said”

“Gymnastics kills again. So tragic.”

“I bet she was trying to snort up some coke while inverted on the railing.”

“Whoops.

I just did a search, then cut and paste.


Didn't even realize techtrek had already nailed it.”

10-story fall kills visitor
Man might have tried to climb to higher floor

A man fell to his death early Wednes-day from the 10th floor balcony at Atlantic Towers in Carolina Beach. Police said they have ruled out foul play.
********
A New York man plunged to his death early Wednesday from a 10th-floor balcony in the Atlantic Towers building at 1615 S. Lake Park Blvd. Police believe Michael Thumann, 28, was attempting to scale the oceanfront balcony outside his room about 2:45 a.m. to reach the 11th floor room of his younger brother, Chris. Both men, of Chatham, N.Y., are in the construction trade and had checked into Atlantic Towers on Tuesday with two co-workers.

Carolina Beach Police Chief William K. Younginer offered no theories as to what persuaded Mr. Thumann to try climbing from one balcony to another, but noted the workers were apparently out drinking before the fatal fall.

“The victim went down to the receptionist and asked for the key to his brother’s room,” Chief Younginer said. “She said she couldn’t give him the keys because he was not assigned to the room. He also appeared to be intoxicated.”

Mr. Thumann apparently returned to his room and was holding on to an iron balcony railing when one of the posts gave way. Chief Younginer said a witness staying on the eighth floor alerted police.

“All he heard was a metallic sound like a ping, like a piece of metal breaking. All he saw was a T-shirt going by,” Chief Younginer said.

Mr. Thumann fell about 90 feet onto a grassy surface, apparently making no noise as he fell. He was found on his back and suffered apparent multiple trauma injuries, the chief said. An autopsy was conducted Wednesday afternoon at the state Medical Examiner’s Office in Jacksonville.

“It appears he was killed on impact,” Chief Younginer said.

Police have ruled out foul play, he said.
A man sleeping in a second bedroom of Mr. Thumann’s 10th-floor suite was not aware of what happened until being awakened Wednesday morning, Chief Younginer said. As two men who worked with Mr. Thumann prepared to leave Atlantic Towers on Wednesday, they spoke briefly about their friend.

“He was by himself. Nobody knows what happened,” said Mike Tooker. “He’s a good guy. It was just an accident.”

The men are employed with Simmons Covering, a company that works along the East Coast, Mr. Tooker said. Their home, in Chatham, is about 20 miles from Albany.

Mr. Thumann’s luggage remained unpacked on his bed Wednesday morning, Chief Younginer said.

“He was probably climbing over the railing on his floor and it broke,” he said. “We’re still finishing up the interviews. We want his family to know if there were any problems and what was going on.”

Atlantic Towers managers did not return calls Wednesday. “It is well-run and quiet,” Carolina Beach Public Information Officer Valita Quattlebaum said.

Carolina Beach police said the accident was unusual. A 38-year-old construction worker from Wilmington died last Jan. 28 after falling 30 feet from the roof of a house under construction in the 700 block of Canal Drive, the last such incident officials could recall.

“Yep -- It's that 'sudden stop'... It'll get you every time.


I wonder if the desk clerk said, "Would it kill you to just wait 'til your brother gets back?"”

“No matter how drunk I've been I have never climbed higher than the 3rd floor. Of course, that's probably why the military only built the barracks up to 3 floors.”

“When I used to do HVAC work, we had a few condos and motels at Myrtle Beach where we installed systems. We would often get there and find the units locked so I wouldclimb up the balconies to go thru the always unlocked sliding glass doors. Of course, I wasn't usually drunk at work.”

“Lucky for the hotel owners that the construction guy fell onto the lawn....that only left a big dent in the soil. If he had fallen on the patio or concrete....he would've went splat. And I believe the cops or forensic team, don't clean up after the investication.”

“Lets hope he missed the Hydrangea bushes.”

“I'll bet the hotel gets sued because the metal balcony railing gave way

"“All he heard was a metallic sound like a ping, like a piece of metal breaking"

Gotta be worth a couple of $$mil

Idiots and a$$holes have got to be protected from themselves.

Only good part of these stories is that they did not land on anyone else.”

“It's nature's way of weeding out dumb genes.”

“In larger municipalities, there are professional services that will do that "cleanup" for you, for a fee, of course. I saw a program, on the Discovery Channel, I think, where one of these services was going into a house to do cleanup after someone died in the house, and was undiscovered, for, uh, months. Basically anything that will absorb a smell (curtains, carpet, etc) has to be removed.”

“I saw a show like that about a company that went in after the police investigators were finished with a murder scene. Not only did they have to clean up the blood and such, but they repaired carpets, walls, etc, where the investigators may have taken samples.”

“When falling from any height that is "dangerous", mammals will spread their limbs out and do a "Belly Flop Del Terra". This way the whole body absorbs the impact and greatly increases ones chance for survival. Cats have survived 10-12 story drops. For humans, landing on your legs from low heights does wonders to your skeletal structure.

Most would survive if they did the Belly Flop Del Terra.”

“show everyone they have guts !!”

“When I was a kid, Santa parachuted into the shopping center to visit all the good little boys and girls and me, but one of his elves wasn't so lucky. His chute never really opened and he plummeted to teh earth. Supposedly, he lived. Elven magic”

“A few yeara ago, one of my friends had to clean up a big blood puddle. One of his father's tenants had a heart attack....as the guy fell, he boinked his head on a table. As he lay dead on the carpet....blood leaked out of him.

Took four days before someone called the police....by that time he stank up the place. Nasty job my friend had to do. Yikes.”

“Two brothers in Hamilton, Ont., were in police custody Monday after allegedly taking to the streets with a couple of homemade flame-throwers.

Police say the men stole two pump-action water guns from the backyard of a home in the city early Sunday.

The men filled the water guns with gasoline, put flames to the nozzles and pulled the triggers.

Police say they used the makeshift weapons to torch three minivans, causing minor damage.

“HHMMM, that give me an idea.”

“Maybe there was a good reason they were worried about me driving tools from Philadelphia to fence on Campobello Island.”

“They oughta take that netting down before someone gets hurt.”

“I heard about that.

Seen on a Maine bumper sticker by my partner: Stupid should hurt.”

“I saw it live last night. The camera did not catch the fall, but they suspended play until the jackass climbed up.”

“Or better yet, replace it with barbed wire.

Yah.

better still CONCERTINA WIRE!

Sliced idiot, anyone?

“Why not electrify it. It would be like a big bug zapper.”

“You could probably sell tickets.

Oh, wait...”

“Heck, you don't even have to put down your beer to get the #&%!$ shocked out of yourself,,,,,I know from experience.”

“The reason why you have someone hold your beer is NOT because you can't do it with the beer in your hand. It's merely so you don't spill it. You HAD to know that?

“Yah, you don't want to waste a perfectly good beer just because you died while holding it.”

“Kind of like the rednecks famous last words.

“Spilling beer is a major party foul...”
