Dumbass Of The Day

A 24-year-old American tourist caused panic at Vienna Airport when she put an unexploded World War II artillery shell in front of Austrian customs officials and asked whether the "souvenir" could be taken onboard her flight home.

Officials quickly called the bomb disposal unit to remove and dispose of the 7.5 cm (3 inch) caliber dud tank artillery shell. The incident shut down the arrival and luggage hall for 15 minutes.

Police said at no time were passengers under threat.
The 24-year-old was reported to prosecutors for negligent endangerment and fined €4,000 ($4,694).

The woman had found the World War II relic while hiking.

According to the Krone newspaper, the woman reportedly cleaned the artillery shell in her hotel room so as not to get her clothes dirty when she packed it up to take to the airport.

 

Not sure if this qualifies, but...

... still gave me a laugh.

 

I don't think it's wise to drink out of a fountain along the same wall as the urinals. And it's about the same height to boot. Been to my share of crappy bars back in college and the sinks were an option when the line got too long.

(Shudder)

 

Anything that displays/points out stupidity........

 

Ok, was thinking about Ryan today, his great posts and obviously rude poster av... . Went looking for it and found this ...

So... the dog is dropping "browns" on the Steelers' helmet?

 

@MaineofSteel

Thanks for bringing back some of those memories.

 

The Browns will qualify for this thread if they sign PAC-Man Jones.

 

My pleasure Duff ...

 

In either 2002 or 2003, when I still lived in Ohio, I was in a contest for 100.7 WMMS titled "what would you do for a fatboy?" where the winner got a brand new Harley Fatboy with a Cleveland Browns painted tank. I didn't win but did make the final. Each day of the contest they had Browns as co-hosts, and at the final it was TE Aaron Shea. While I was up performing my 'talk' Aaron talked a little bit of shit about me that I wasn't too fond of.

How does this all tie together you ask? Well, the event was held at the Fox and Hound in Parma and the place was beyond capacity, and everyone was drunk. The bathroom was way too small and while standing in line for the urinal (attempting to regain my dignity) drunkards started stepping out and urinating in the sink(s). After a few lizards had been drained, the bathroom stall door swings open and a familiar face stumbles out, wiping his mouth after apparently praying to the porcelain gods, it as the Browns TE.

At this point time stood still and I had an angel and a devil appear over each of my shoulders. After brief contemplation, I stood there and laughed my ass off as I allowed him to put his mouth upto the faucet and get a drink to rinse out the vomit.

I may have lost the contest (it was rigged), but in the grand scheme of things, I came out on top.

My bad.

 

An acclaimed Chinese novellist—who murdered four people and used the memory as inspiration for his stories—was sentenced to death yesterday, 23 years after committing the killings.

Liu Yongbiao, 53, and his accomplice Wang Mouming, robbed and killed a family of three and a lodger in a guest house over two decades ago. Between the murders and present day, Liu rose to prominence as an award-winning author in China.

On Monday, the Huzhou Intermediate People’s Court, in the Zhejiang Province, found Liu and Wang guilty of robbery and homicide after they admitted to the crime. They were both sentenced to death.

In an interview with CCTV last August, Liu revealed that although the killings had inspired his novels, he never based any of the characters on the real people he had murdered. The author also said the memory of the murders that haunted him felt “worse than dying.”

On November 29, 1995, Liu and Wang tied up a couple—in the guesthouse they owned—their grandson and a lodger, before murdering the quartet with clubs and hammers.

Unfortunately for authorities at the time, the guesthouse did not have surveillance cameras and did not keep information about their guests. As a result, the case went unsolved for 22 years.

Last June, police discovered Liu’s DNA on a cigarette butt found at the scene after they relaunched the case in light of new genetic testing technology. Authorities then visited 15 Chinese provinces in a bid to locate the suspect linked to the DNA.

After comparing the sample with over 60,000 people, they found a match to a clan, surnamed Liu, who were in Nanling, Anhui Province. There, they spoke to the clan and were able to narrow down the suspect to Liu Yongbiao.

A few months later, undercover police tricked Liu into believing they were researching into his family tree so he would hand over a sample of his saliva. Two days later, on August 11, police arrested Liu at his home in Nanling after they found a match between his saliva and that on the cigarette butt. Shortly after, Wang was also arrested at his home in Shanghai.

Speaking to CCTV, Liu admitted that they killed the lodger because he appeared to be wealthy. However, they only managed to loot a watch, a ring and the equivalent of $1.50 from him.

Liu also said the murders were “so cruel” he deserved to “die 100 times” for committing them.
