16-Year Old Girls Can’t Sail, Either

September 9, 2009 By The Guys

Many 16-year old girls are excited to get their drivers licenses, so they can start terrorizing the roads while texting their friends (often whom are probably in the back seat). But one 16-year old girl from Australia wasn’t satisfied with that–she decided to become a terror of the seas.

Attempting to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world, Jessica Watson got off to a bit of a rough start when her yacht hit a 63,000-ton cargo ship on a preliminary 10-day solo journey from her home port to Sydney, where the voyage around the globe was … more>>

Moviegoer Shoots Man on Cell Phone

December 31, 2008 By The Guys

In a case of “I don’t condone it, but I understand it” (or as a local radio station said, it fits Chris Rock’s take on OJ Simpson of “Not saying [he should have done it]…but I understand”), a movie patron in Philadelphia got fed up with a man talking loudly on his cell phone during the movie, so he pulled his gun and shot him in the arm.

Amazingly, 29-year old James Joseph Cialella Jr. then proceeded to sit back down (as the rest of the theater emptied out), and continued watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button until … more>>

Man Suing Strip Club over Shoe Incident

October 17, 2008 By The Guys

A man in Florida is suing a strip club over a dancer’s flying shoe. At least, that’s what the headline reads–which sounds ridiculous.

As it turns out, it’s a bit more complicated than that–the shoe, which came off during a pole dance, flew off into the mirrored ceiling–causing the mirror to shatter, and rain glass down around the man (along with the shoe).

He is suing the club (called the Booby Trap) for breaching its duty when its employee failed to perform her routine in a reasonably safe manner. He claims he suffered a small cut to his eyebrow, … more>>

Holy S**t–He Beat My GPA

July 22, 2008 By The Guys

We’ll ignore for the moment the fact that all t-shirts like this one are comparing a scale that usually goes to 4.0 and a scale on which 0.5 technically means you’re dead–at least in the state of Rhode Island, where a man was arrested early Tuesday with a measured blood alcohol reading of .491. That’s over six times the legal limit in every state in the Union.

Even more impressive, he wasn’t even unconscious. After crashing into a highway sign, he had trouble getting out of the car, and then grabbed it and refused to move. Despite being significantly … more>>

Three Articles That (Unfortunately) Caught Our Eye

April 23, 2008 By The Guys

As you may have noticed if you’ve seen more than one of our posts, there is a wide variety to the sites that we visit on a given day. We also use MyYahoo! to track a fair number of RSS feeds–and for some stupid reason, one day a few years ago, we included the Entertainment Feed on Yahoo as a part of that. And now, even though it annoys us, every once in a while, we see a headline, and feel compelled to click.

This one isn’t even Entertainment related (unless you like train wrecks), but the link headline was … more>>
