Regular sex helps students
Werner Habermehl is a German sociologist and he knows the way to bring up the average college student's GPA. Just give him or her regular sex. Yup, Habermehl and his University of Hamberg study team tested a slew of students before and after sex to learn about what IT does to the brain. Turns out that regular sexual activity 'significantly increased mental capability' in students , and celibate students not only needed a longer amount of time to complete the same course, they also received lower grades!
Of course, that could just show that smart people have better pick up lines and thus have more sex, but who really cares? It's an excuse, eh?
******************************
Parachute = Parachute. Umbrella = Umbrella. Umbrella < Parachute.
There's this guy in Chonquing, western China, who reportedly thought that his microwave oven was about to explode and leaped out a window to escape, using an umbrella in a Mary-Poppins attempt to slow his descent.
He actually thought the umbrella would enable him to land safely.
His two broken legs prove otherwise.

Now THAT's a Porta Potty!
Can't a guy just do his business in peace any more? An unidentified man in Gomel, Belarus, was taking a potty break when he was startled to find that the whole cubicle was moving! Turns out some evil bobbers had tied the potty up with ropes, put it on their truck, and absquatulated with the darned thing!
The 45 year old man was only able to escape after the rope was loosened by the bumpy ride. He popped his head out of the door, found that he was careening full speed through town and hurled himself out of the potty. He busted his collar bone, but all other body parts are fine.
The potty bobbers have been found and prosecuted.

Wow. Nice to Know Someone Cares
As construction workers prepared to demolish an old apartment building in Japan, they found a surprise. T'was a former employee of the company who never showed up for work about 20 years ago! He was dead. In his jammies. With a newspaper on the kitchen table dated February 20, 1984. Even though the guy did have children (he was divorced), nobody - not family or friends - reported him missing at any time. So nobody looked. How sad.

Man blown up showing off grenade
"Wanna see what I've got in my pants?" Those may well have been the last words of Webster Mark, a 20ish guy who was trying to pull a grenade out of his trousers to show a friend when the pin got caught on his zipper. The hand grenade exploded just as it should and Webster met his maker. His friend met the doctors at the hospital and is in critical condition.
