Ridiculous News of the Day

[240B]

With the tenants around you humping like rabbits....

I've lived in apartments in my life and some were not so nice. Every night from about 10pm to 11pm the rabbits would start up. Thumping on my ceiling was metronome. And you never knew how long or how loud it would be. Not only was it annoying, it was also kind of embarrassing. And sometimes other neighbors would join in, and it would be coming through in stereo.

That's why your quote was so familiar to me.

Was that before or after she lit a match to see whether there was any gas in her car's tank?

Suppressed, I listened to your piece of "music."  Cute graphics.  Music?  Hmmmmmm.

Sing along with me! "Silent night, holy night.  All is bright..."

Perhaps I should not be in here.

Okay, you can do this to me.  I deserve it!

They drove us to it! Bad parkers FINALLY get their comeuppance as passers-by hit back with graffiti, Saran wrap and quick-witted notes

    Victims have hit back with everything from graffiti to clingfilm - as well as the classic passive aggressive note
    Others returned to their vehicles to find them surrounded by shopping trolleys or carefully coated in foil
    In one particularly egregious example of poor parking, a silver car can be seen perched in the middle of a helicopter landing pad - with the aircraft left hovering overhead in wait

Okay, an old story, but I just saw it posted to reddit today.

18 year-old is Elected Miss Prostitute 2013 in Belo Horizonte
10/01/2013
FROM SÃO PAULO

In its second edition, the Miss Prostitute contest took place last Saturday (28) in the city of Belo Horizonte (MG). At the same time that, the city was electing Miss Brazil.

Marcelina Gomes Teixeira, 18, has worked for 6 month in the profession, won the title and the awards this year: R$ 1,200 in cash, plus R$ 350 inshopping certificates and gifts from a store downtown. She beat nine other candidates.

"I do not advertise in the newspaper. I have my contacts," says the Miss, and reveals a bit more about herself: she lives with her grandmother, does not like music or watch movies or browse on the internet often - "I do not care much for these things", she said in an interview with UOL.

'Safer' 20mph zones led to rise in number of road deaths but too costly to reverse, council admits
Hayley Dixon • 17 DECEMBER 2017 • 5:57PM
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/17/20mph-limit-dangerous-costly-reverse-council-admits/

Reducing the speed limit to 20mph has caused a rise in death and serious injuries, a council has admitted, but is refusing to reverse the scheme because it will cost too much.

Bath and North East Somerset Council spent £871,000 bringing in the 13 new speed zones just 12 months ago.

But one year on, a report has found that the rate of people killed or seriously injured has gone up in seven out of the 13 new 20mph zones.

Man Spends Free Time Posing As Cop To Pull People Over And Cuff Them

https://thelibertarianrepublic.com/man-spends-free-time-posing-as-cop-to-pull-people-over-and-cuff-them/

Officials caught an Arizona man impersonating a police officer last week when he began stopping and searching people at random, even handcuffing one of them.

The Tucson Police Department posted a video of one of the incidents on Facebook Wednesday and said they responded to a “suspicious activity call” Dec. 19, when the impostor pulled over three different people while pretending to be law enforcement.

WATCH: Horse Bettor Loses Out on $571,000 When a Jockey Falls Off Right Before the Wire

https://www.mediaite.com/online/watch-a-horse-bettor-lose-out-on-571000-when-a-jockey-falls-off-his-horse-right-before-the-wire/

We’ve chronicled some absolutely horrific gambling losses since launching sports coverage here at Mediaite in July 2016. But this one might be the most brutal yet.

On Thursday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, FL, an unlucky horse racing gambler lost out on a massive, six-figure payout when a jockey fell off his horse just yards before he almost certainly would’ve crossed the wire first.

Bihar Engineer Forced To Marry At Gunpoint, Kept Crying, Ordeal On Video
Ever since the incident, Vinod's family has been getting threat calls asking him to accept the girl forcing them to seek police protection
All India | Reported by Manish Kumar | Updated: January 05, 2018 16:37 IST

PATNA:  A 29-year-old engineer was reportedly kidnapped and forced to marry a woman at gunpoint in Bihar. The video clips from the wedding show Vinod Kumar, a junior manager at Bokaro Steel Plant, dressed as a groom, being thrashed and forced to perform wedding rituals in Patna's Pandarak area. As he begs to be released and continues to cry for help, a group of women, allegedly from the woman's family, try to convince him to cooperate.

When he refuses to apply vermillion to the bride, her relatives are heard saying, "We are only performing your wedding, not hanging you."

Local media quoted the engineer as saying one of the bride's relatives had pointed a pistol at him after they met at a mutual friend's wedding and ordered him to marry her. His allegations are being investigated by the police.

The official figures, as reported by news agency AFP, show police received nearly 3,000 complaints of groom kidnapping in 2016. None of the marriages were annulled.

[Restored]

A friend was being forced into a marriage. The bride-to-be was pregnant and he was the father du jour. He got out of it by convincing the family that he had $122,000 in debt from a failed business. If they got married, it meant that she had $122,000 in debt. The bride's father quickly deduced that another man was actually the father and the new father stood to inherit a large amount of family land. Unbeknownst to the FIL to be, the land had liens against it.   
After the marriage, my friend discharged the debt in bankruptcy and opened a car repair business. The FIL, who now had a deadbeat penniless SIL, would get his car fixed there so he could tell my friend "That child looks just like you" which was an obvious lie.

Virginia Man Uses Flamethrower to Clear Snow from Driveway

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/20/virginia-man-uses-flamethrower-to-clear-snow-from-driveway/



A man from Amherst, Virginia used a flamethrower to melt away snow from his driveway, WRIC reports.

Instead of using the traditional tool, a shovel, Nathanael Caplinger wanted to explore a quicker way of dispelling the snow.

After reading an ad in a local magazine about a blowtorch purported to do a brilliant job of clearing snow, he decided to try it out.
