Unbelievable though it may seem rkz, it happens to be true. We have almost the same proportion of idiots here as you do in the US.

I think we have a larger proportion. Much larger.

I don't know about that. You've got a much larger population base, so for every Australian idiot, you'll need about 15 American idiots to match.

From Reuters, today (http://au.news.yahoo.com/071016/15/14ovo.html) :
An Australian man, clad only in underwear, fell nine stories while trying to build a makeshift plank bridge into a neighbor's flat, but lived to tell the tale. (follow link for more details).

Ok you need fifteen American idiots from today's news, to match that.

That's unless I find another Australian idiot. Then you need thirty.



But the best word on the IotD goes outside the cellar to .... Jeff, Nashville, TN, USA (follow the links to the original article .....

EERIE

I can't believe none of us came up with this. The shame.

*dies*

Update: the arm is out of hospital, its hearing has improved, and its only trouble now is that its glasses keep falling off.

That guy looks amazingly like the guy who plays Ray Romano's dad.

Well- there are other places he could have chosen to plant the ear. Thank god for small miracles like that one!

I don't believe it's photoshop- but I do believe that since he is aging he is going to have to soak up the cost of a third hearing aide. Not smart.

And when did they implant the butt on his face? It's curious that there's no mention of that in these articles.

Good point, Cicero, but there are lots of politicians out there who have had a butt transplanted on their faces, but the media neglects to report it.

Redd Foxx used to have this bit: "What if your ears were on your ass? I know one thing, there wouldn't be much whispering going on. 'Psst...damn baby your ears smell like shit.'"

This is a common German expression for people you would otherwise call an @sshole ("Arsch mit Ohren")

You can. The site is for the purpose of selling them. Google basically translates it as "who hasn't run into someone like this." Click on the third menu to enter a form.
