Just Jack Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Deputies said after consuming an unknown quantity of alcohol, the man constructed a device out of a motorcycle muffler and pipe. He filled the muffler with a combined gunpowder, the heads from matches and gasoline. There's a surprise.
Steely Dan Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 “We are glad he was not killed doing this,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. I'm not so sure about that. He is 62 and probably done with kids but there's only one way to make sure it never happens again.
Rust Belt Nights Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I thought this thread was going to be about Trent Edwards
Chef Jim Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I thought this thread was going to be about Trent Edwards Give it time, it's a relatively new thread.
KD in CA Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 It's pretty impressive that someone that stupid has managed to stay alive for 62 years.
/dev/null Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 It's pretty impressive that someone that stupid has managed to stay alive for 62 years. The opening of the movie Idiocracy explains it best: As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest, reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 A thorough search of the scene and the home was conducted and deputies said it appeared as if the garage area may have been cleaned prior to the arrival of emergency personnel. So burning yourself in the yard is grounds for a search warrant?
DC Tom Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Deputies said after consuming an unknown quantity of alcohol, the man constructed a device out of a motorcycle muffler and pipe. He filled the muffler with a combined gunpowder, the heads from matches and gasoline. There's a surprise. The difference between explosives and rocket fuel is slight...but pretty important. So burning yourself in the yard is grounds for a search warrant? Even though he called it a rocket engine, the guy built a pipe bomb. That's usually grounds.

He made being stoopid cool.

ExiledInIllinois Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Damn supplies! They don't make "blue-tip" matches like they used to! "Strike anywhere" my foot! I am shocked nobody posted these links: Super Genius
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Thank God we don't have socialized medicine and have to pay for that dolt's injuries... Or stuff like this may head to the States: ShatterProof Pint Glasses "...There are about 87,000 alcohol-related glass attacks each year, with many resulting in hospital visits, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said as he introduced the two prototype shatterproof pint glasses. "Glassing causes horrific injuries and has a lasting and devastating impact on victims and their families," Johnson said. "I hope these designs will help bring an end to such attacks..." "...The government estimates that for alcohol-related problems cost the National Health Service roughly 2.7 billion pounds ($4.3 billion) per year..."
