Where's the parental outcry on this one:

Maybe the disclaimers on the
show (I really hope they do have them somewhere in the fine print) will help keep the show safe. I don't really
care one way or the other, since I think the show sucked since Adam and Jimmy left.

Yep, it is VERY easy to re-wire
one to do that... and with a little work and a sodering iron you can make a pretty "hefty" unit out of a project box
from radio shack.

Bickford said he tried
the device on himself. The first time was not too bad, he said, but his arm was left numb for two hours when he
tried it for a second time.
At what point did he decide once just wasn't enough?

Okay...here's my favorite
explanation of crap like that.If you go ANYWHERE,you will notice that there are warning signs and labels on
positively EVERYTHING! There are also gaurd rails,safety shields and all manner of other protective devices
attatched to EVERYTHING!As a result,thru litigation we have created a world that is way too safe.Safety issues used
to be handled by using an ancient practice of thinking called "common sense." Common sense was given by nature only
to those with supperior genetics. All others were cursed with the inability to figure out that walking off cliffs
that didnt have gaurd rails was dangerous. The results of all this safety were staggering. If you walk into a fast
food resturaunt,the first thing you hear is a cacaphony of warning alarms on the fryers shreaking thier warnings to
people who not only don't hear them...don't seem to have the sense not to work in a fast food establishment.These
are our future nuclear power plant opperators. As a result of this over abundance of dumb people,nature had to come
up with a new way to weed out the geneticly inferior people to preserve the species as a whole. Hence,we get morons
who try to immitate what they see on television and end up killing themselves or someone else in the process. Just
look at all the seemingly "normal" youngsters who try to jump thier bicycles infront of speeding busses or take
video of thier friends hanging out of a car door while they sideswipe a passing car.(There is a website with TONS of
very disturbing videos dedicated to showing the antics of the many kids who have lost life and limb to the pursuit
of stupidity like that.)So we get people who dedicate themselves to showing kids things like,free climbing,bungee
jumping,bicycle jumping,playing with explosives and joining the millitary. Interestingly,nature has a way of telling
the rest of us who's kids are going to be that way and who's kids are the good ones.Parents seem to know weather
the child they have borne is a "good egg" or a "bad egg." The good eggs are treated with respect,taught
manners,taught to play piano,judo lessons,sports...and are loved and cared for by parents who are ATTENTIVE.The "bad
eggs" are naturaly ignored and left to fend for themselves and learn to do immense damage to themselves and
others.Funny how nature gives those of us with common sense a way of figuring out the difference.Just look for the
kid whos parents ignore him and you know to stay away.Darwin never saw this comming....

That lack of thought, or the
observation of the lack of thought is what led to the Darwin awards. What's truly frightening is the first winner
of the award last year was an engineering student at one of the high end schools who was trying to stand on top of a
light pole to welcome the new year! He landed on his head. That's the type that is going to be designing our cars
and aircraft?
For anybody who doesn't know about it there is a series of books and a web site dedicated to
those creative individuals who have removed themselves from the gene pool in some spectacular or unusual manner.
Great reading, even if it does destroy your hopes for the future of mankind.

Does anybody else know the story of Lawn Chair
Larry? A prime example of human ingenuity.

My favorite Darwin award was
of one person who didn't die. He tried to stick his balls (aka is testicles) in a ball washer on a golf course.
He slipped, and his testicles became detached from his body. Although the Darwin awards typically require a
person's death, the rules actually only require the removal of his genes from the gene pool. Since he is unable to
have children and didn't already have children, he qualified.

Mine varies between the guy who
just got his black belt and decided to take on a bear and the guy that tried to hang a wreath around the neck of a
tiger named Shiva.
