Having spent ninety Great British minutes on a phone call to a financial institution this afternoon, and in need of a short respite from such things, I thought I'd have a look around a news website or two.
One story which caught my eye was an incident where West Midlands Fire Service had to release an 'internet prankster' who had cemented his head in a microwave oven. Yes, we've all done it, haven't we?

WMFS were understandably not amused by this demand on their time...

West Midlands Fire Twitter


Man 'cements microwave to head' in Wolverhampton

On YouTube the video requires you to sign in but it's available here at Huffington Press

FWIW the 'cement' involved wasn't of the bricklaying type, it was Polyfilla, a plaster based material used to close up cracks in internal walls and ceilings.

The well of human stupidity will never run dry.

The well is deep and quickly replenished.

YouTube isn't doing the world any favors by hosting that video and rewarding the guy.

But they help kill off the really stupid ones and reward the buddy with the half a beer he's holding.

Moronic News Edition

Frank Miles, and everyone between his keyboard and the rest of the world, is a fucking moron.

Self-propelled vessel intercepted smuggling more than 3,800 pounds of cocaine near Texas

Fuck the coke. This vessel is self-propelled. It moves under its own power.

Man, if the rest of the world could just get their hands on this "self-propelling" technology.

And, just in case you think the geniuses at Fox News simply mis-spoke, and actually meant 'autonomous', or 'self-steering', the [on-board] crew of three was arrested.

Morons.
