They really doubled down on dumb. It was dumb enough to do it in the first place but then to don a compromised vest and try again???
Pretty much guaranteed that they had no idea that a vest that's been shot shouldn't be used again. Look at how many people take a hit on their helmets doing one thing or another (motorcycle riding, skiing, skydiving, whatever) and go right on using it.

That is a lot of bed bugs.


How do you not know you have bed bugs? Our office was infested by someone. They had to fumigate. In 20+ years of working there I cannot recall a problem with bed bugs. Lets just say we have been hiring a different class of employee lately. :eek:

Upon arrival, officers found a woman dressed in black standing inside the building with a fork in each hand.
...
The employee said that she had arrived at the building and began turning lights on when she was suddenly confronted by a naked woman in the doorway of one of the classrooms. The suspect then told the employee that she was trespassing and tried to fire her.
Wearing black?

The Hungarian State Opera has come up with a dubious way round a stipulation that George Gershwin’s opera Porgy and Bess be performed by an all-black cast: it is allegedly asking its white, Hungarian singers to sign a paper saying they identify as African-American.
...
The Hungarian website Index reported that before the 5 April performance, singers had been asked to sign a paper with the following text: “I, the undersigned, hereby state that African-American origin and identity are an inseparable part of my identity. Because of this I am especially glad to be able to perform in George Gershwin’s opera, Porgy and Bess.”

A condition called situs inversus with levocardia, in which most vital organs are reversed -- almost like a mirror inside the body. That, along with a host of other weird but wonderful abnormalities, made Bentley a sort of medical unicorn.
"I think the odds of finding another person like her may be as remote as one in 50 million," said assistant professor Cameron Walker, who teaches the Foundations of Clinical Anatomy class at Oregon Health and Science University. "I don't think any of us will ever forget it, honestly."

RIDGEFIELD,Conn. (WTNH) - It was a Saturday morning when families were gathered at the baseball field at Ridgefield High School.

When the fire started burning, someone left the field and ran across the street to the police department.

"It had rained the night before there was a scheduled baseball game," explained Captain Shawn Platt.

Someone thought it would be a good idea to warm the field in time for Ridgefield and Amity Regional to play ball.

Video was shot by a teacher showing the moment after 24 gallons of gasoline were poured on the infield and set on fire.
