Motorcyclist hit by flying bathtub!

» by Chris in: Dumb Luck,Dumb people,Home and Lifestyle,Thats gotta hurt

Have you ever been driving on a highway and noticed items like mattresses, box springs or other large objects on the road or at the side of the road? If you’re like me you’re probably glad that you weren’t driving behind a vehicle when they lost those items, right?

Well, an elderly motorcyclist wasn’t so lucky. Last month a motorcycle rider was critically injured when a boxed bathtub fell off a pickup truck.

Wow, hit by a bathtub. That man will have a story to tell! When he was hit on a Louisiana interstate he was thrown from his bike and landed on the grass median. When helped arrived he was taken to a local hospital. I’m uncertain as to what his injuries were but I’d imagine that he’d have a few broken bones at the very least.

Naturally the pickup driver was charged with driving with an unsecured load and booked for negligent injury.

I don’t even want to know the real story behind this accident!

I just hope that no one got hurt although I have a feeling that someone probably did!

It looks like a car fell as it was going over an overpass and then landed on a car that was traveling under the overpass doesn’t it? It actually looks like this might be an action shot since it appears there’s some stuff flying around above the top car if you look closely.

Strange way to sleep

This is our Labrador Retriever puppy, Midnight.

Last night she fell asleep on the couch at my feet. I got up to get something from the kitchen and when I came back she’d taken over the couch. Yeah it’s a love seat but as you can see she didn’t leave any room for me to sit down!

This is maybe one of the oddest positions that I’ve seen her sleep in. You probably can’t tell just how bent her back was by this picture, but she was bent backwards, almost in a U shape.

I know if I fell asleep in that position I probably wouldn’t be able to move my neck the next day … not to mention my back would ache like crazy too!
