The worlds longest firecracker

At the beginning of March organizers in Taiwan lit up an 8.1 mile string of explosives in a Southern Taiwanese county in the hopes of creating the worlds longest firecracker. The continuous explosions of the line of firecrackers lasted approximately two hours.

Rapid flashes of bright red explosions that created huge wafts of white smoke were shown on televsion during the Chinese New Year celebration in Tainan County. The celebration had been dubbed “Legend of the Fire Dragon”.

Those gathered to witness theGuinness World record breaking attemptwore masks, goggles and even motorcycle helmets to protect themselves from the pollution.

The attempt to break the world record will be verified by Guinness officials. Spain holds the current world record for the longest continuously burning firecracker. Spains record breaking firecracker was seven miles long.

Insertion problems

What were these men thinking?

Police in El Cerrito California arrested a man last November for being nude in public. The arrest took place near the rapid transit station. When the police asked the man if he was carrying contraband he admitted that he had a screw driver in his rectum!

What? Owww.

Police, treating the item as a potential weapon trained their guns on him while he removed the 6 inch awl that he’d wrapped in electrical tape prior to insertion.

Then, only one week later a 22 year old Iraq ware veteran in Monkwearmouth England told his friends that he was bored. He decided to imitate a prank from the movie “Jackass” and inserted a firework “up his backside” and lit it.

When it exploded he was taken to the Sunderland Royal hospital with a scorched colon and other serious injuries.

Do these men not have a brain in their head?

Zookeepers scam male Pandas

» by Chris in: Recreation

Did you know that zoo keepers often scam male Panda bears into mating with a female panda that they find undesirable?

They apparently let an attractive female Panda bear that the male is interested in roam around the pen, leaving her scent everywhere. Then, when the darkness falls, and the male has become frisky from the scent of the female he’s attracted to, the zoo keepers lead in a less attractive female, back end first so that the already excited male will begin mating.

Unfortunately the male often figures out that the female he’s mating with isn’t really the one he desires, and he gets angry when he realizes he’s mated with a dowdy female. The male Panda turns his anger on the female and the zoo keepers often have to use firecrackers and a water hose to separate them.

Poor unattractive female pandas.

Somehow this story reminds me of the bar scene. You know how people always look more attractive when you’ve had a few drinks in you?
