liers Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I figured it would be a good idea to create a single thread where anyone can post stupid news stories. Whether they be accidents, coincidences, or criminals who may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, post stupid news articles here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Man put's 9/11 dispatcher on hold to make drug deal.CLEVELAND — Police in Cleveland say a man called 911 because he felt he was in danger _ then asked the dispatcher to hold on while he made a drug deal. Police Lt. Thomas Stacho said Tuesday that Alejandro Melendez was arrested after the call and was charged with possessing cocaine. Police said Melendez called 911 late Saturday and reported that two men with guns were watching him. Police records show he hung up, so the dispatcher called back. Melendez answered and asked the dispatcher to hold on, but the dispatcher could still hear what was being said. A voice can be heard on the recording of the call saying: "What you need? A 10-pack? You need a 10-pack? All right." Police say "10-pack" is slang for a bundle of heroin. The dispatcher called police, who found Melendez at the location he gave, had the dispatcher call his cell phone again, and said they found cocaine in his trousers. There was no immediate indication Tuesday if Melendez, 20, had an attorney to speak for him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lio Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 There is an academy for mermaids in Spain now. You get to experience what it is to swim like a dolphin (apparently), and it is a great exercise for your abs and legs. More information in the video.

Jakey Styley Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) A little different than the things you guys have been posting, but I fucking hate articles like this:http://articles.latimes.com/2014/jan/29/science/la-sci-sn-childhood-obesity-20140129"Children who are overweight in kindergarten have four times the risk of becoming obese by eighth grade, researchers reported Wednesday..."No fucking shit! If someone is already overweight, they are more likely to be overweight later in time than someone who is not already overweight! Spend the research money finding out something not obvious!

Lio Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Dutch writer and artist Heleen Van Royen sold a picture of her bloody tampon for 1900 EUR. Couldn't find the article in English, but here's an article about her exhibition earlier this year with said pic and other selfies.http://www.nltimes.nl/2014/05/29/bloody-tampon-selfie-exhibit-museum-hit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
