Quote: theworm said
 An un-named crafter in Florida is reported to have self-inflicted severe abdominal bruising by using her own body as leverage to push a crochet hook through fabric she was working on. The injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening. Names have been withheld to protect the stupid. | Sometimes those most dedicated to their craft are known to sacrifice life and limb for the good of all.
I don't consider that stupid.

I know that I'm going to hell, but am I the ONLY one whose first thought was "Gee, that kid is smarter than the parents! They are the ones who moved there and she's trying to get the hell OUT!" |

Nope, didn't think that at all. It was freezing here yesterday and I was sitting on the shore at a lake thinking 'hurricane schmurricane'. |

You know how so many stories in this thread involve swords? Well, here's a first, which involves a rocket launcher. Yep, that's right - a Florida man had a surface-to-air missile launcher.  |

I can.
In public places we're sort of trained to NOT see people. I remember one time when I was very young, I was with my dad at the train station. There was a man lying on the platform, and everyone was just walking passed him. My dad wanted to make sure he was ok. I thought he was drunk and was afraid of him and told my dad we should go. As we got to the stairs, the paramedics were coming up. I don't know if he was a drunk or some commuter who passed out in the station. It was decades ago, and I'm still embarrassed and horrified at my lack of compassion towards a stranger. I can see that no other passangers said anything. I can't see how the people who worked there didn't notice, but I'm not sure where he was waiting.
Sadly, I don't think this is a stupid Florida story (and at least half the people walking through the busy airport were tourists and NOT stupid Floridians). I think its a sad statement about our society story.
I hope I learned from that incident so many years ago. |

Wormie, I can understand your point except for one issue... this was an AIRPORT.
I'm supposed to believe that they are so concerned about security that I can't take my toothpaste on a plane or take my coffee cup past the security gate, but someone can be in the same location for three days and NO ONE from the oh-so-tight security noticed him until a missing person report was filed??? |

My grandfather tried to teach me to parallel park that way. Only, you know, I wasn't drunk. Nor in Florida. Although he lived there half the year til Bamma died, they full time. |

Not a "stupid" story, per se, but definitely bizarre. Cindy, horses aren't the only things that eat weird stuff! Jacksonville.com

In reverse. Sort of like de-evolution. Or something.  |
