A guy's been arrested for beating a car with a dead pigeon while naked. I wonder what makes a person think that something like that is a good choice? It's certainly a creative way to spend one's time, but probably not the most constructive leisure activity. Anyway, he gets points for originality.

The mental imagery associated with this thread is FTW.

I should have known better...

Never, NEVER drink hot tea when reading threads on NSG....

for one horrible moment I thought this had happened in London!

He was obviously sexually unsatisfied.

Now, at this point, readers familiar with this type of crime will probably be asking themselves, 'hey, shouldn't there be teddy bears on plant stands as well?' You will be relieved to know that no fewer than three plant stands holding teddy bears were also discovered in the vicinity of the truck. Now that's how you write a tabloid news story.

o.O

A taxi, not being demolished by over-eager Swedish firemen. This picture caption will now refrain from commenting further on the notion of Swedish firemen.

Firemen rescue already-rescued victims, destroy wrong car

Black cab

A Good Samaritan taxi driver who allowed three people injured in a car accident to shelter from from the cold in his cab was left counting the cost - after emergency services destroyed the taxi to 'rescue' the trio.

Cabbie Peter Andersson, 45, from Lulea in central Sweden said: 'They had a few cuts and bruises and I let them shelter in my cab. They looked worse than they were.

'I went off to look at the wreck and when the firemen turned up, they pulled out hydraulic metal cutters and sliced the side off the cab.

'They said it meant they could get the people out without them having to bend too much, in case of neck injuries. They didn't realise they only had to open the door.'

However, Swedish news site The Local reports that Anders Sundelin, head doctor at Sunderby Sjukhus, said: 'Sawing off the roof to remove accident victims is the safest way to manage injuries of this kind.'

The taxi driver is now in dispute with his insurance company, who do not believe his story over the reason for the £30,000 repair bill.

Oh, Naked Stock Photography Guy, what have you done this time?

It made me wonder when I first saw it. I'm actually disappointed the naked piogeon beater wasn't photographed.

Lunatic Goofballs has finally been apprehended! :eek:

Alas. He shall be missed.

In his honour, let's now all go and hang dead gerbils from a Christmas tree, while wearing only rubber gloves on our feet.

This definitely wins the WTF award of the day.

Reassuringly, Dean has now been released


Oh, good. :p

Wait. There's a law against this? Were lawmakers so concened that someone might actually try this that they banned it? I don't know which is more telling: that somebody actually did this or that lawmakers knew someone would. This is like how in one of the towns in Nevada, you can't legally have a beard if you kiss a lot of people. I forgot which town, but it's true.

A number of states have laws against whistling underwater; in a few states women can't drive unless their husband is walking 100 feet in front of the car carrying a red flag; men with moustaches are forbidden from kissing women in several Missouri, Nevada, and Kansas counties; one California city fines $500 to anyone who detonates a nuclear weapon within the city limits; in a few states you must have sex with the lights off; and so on, and so forth.

Brilliant! :D

My favourite, though, is still a law from Texas which says that when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.

That's also law in Washington State, Alabama, Oklahoma and a few other places.

In a similar vein, one Missippi town passed the following ordinance:

1) That a new Jail shall be constructed;
2) That the new Jail shall be constructed out of the remains of the old Jail;
3) That the old Jail shall be used until the new Jail is completed.

In my home town of Trenton, New Jersey we have two laws concerning pickles. "Pickles shall not be consumed on Sunday" and "You may not throw a bad pickle in the street". I wonder why the founders of Trenton decided to write so much pickle legislation.

he jails a murder in a cell with no doors, nor windows and no bars.

In the state of Connecticut, a pickle isn't legally a pickle unless it bounces.

Maybe Trenton was founded by Connecticutans, or vice versa.

I think it was founded by people of the English orientation. That strikes me as weird because they're not really known for their pickles.

I read somewhere that in Minnisota, it is illegal for both male and female underwear to hang from the same clothesline. I also read that cheese pizzas are under the jurisdiction of the FDA while pizzas with toppings are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture.

Not so! Pickled eggs, onions, beets...piccalilli...then the various chutneys from the east...oh yeah...we like our pickled veg!

I suspect it was either the car, pigeon or the combination of the two because when I was naked and beating a mailbox with a dead rabbit, I got off with a warning. :)

Pigeons are filthy creatures. :p

Yeah, pickled eggs are my favorite vegetable.

In Kentuckystan it is illegal to put ice cream in your back pocket, and in my county it is illegal to sing out of tune.

Those laws were either created in the 18th or 19th centuries and because the lawmakers were bored. They aren't enforced anymore. :p

In Kentuckystan it is illegal to put ice cream in your back pocket,

:eek: Shit!


edit: Wait, what if I put it in somebody else's back pocket?

:eek: Shit!


edit: Wait, what if I put it in somebody else's back pocket?

It's okay, it's perfectly legal in the other 49 states. (except, I hear, Tennessee...)

If you put it in someone else's back pocket and happen to be in Kentucky, I suppose both of you would be arrested. Though I have no idea.
