Doofus Of The Day #515


The video is self-explanatory.







I'm reminded of this quotation from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, one of Robert A. Heinlein's most famous characters:

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.


I suspect those words will, at some stage, be applied all too brutally to the characters in this video clip . . .


*Sigh*

That trick can be done safely. But not by idiots with a minimum of research online. Stupidity like that used to be terminal. Sadly, that's no longer the case.

Yep, maybe the trick they were trying to perform can be done safely but then I have also been told that you also can you wet your finger and then stick it into molten lead without getting burned. The thing is, I have enough intelligence not to try either on myself or anyone else.

All the best,

What a nitwit.

He shoulda stuck to walking on glowing-hot coals..........with asbestos boots, of course.

Too bad the guy didn't catch a couple of his "friends" on fire. They probably deserved it as much as he did.

See, the trick for a turkish shave is, you cut most of the hair off first, and you have a large wet towel handy to put it out after just a moment.

WV: "witright" -- No, just no. ;)

What's crazier is that no internal use of alcohol seemed to be involved.

Nature abhors no vacuum more than one with ears on both sides.

I already traumatize my hair with highlights, curlers, and a flat iron...I don't need to set it on fire to cause more heat damage!

If it wasn't for stupid people, I'd have to get a real job. No worries though, they reproduce ten times faster than they kill themselves.
