    When I worked at a hospital :

    "How did [this] get in [there]?"
    "I slipped and fell in the kitchen"

    [this] = cucumber
    [there] = butt

    I. kid. you. not.
    Paramedics and nurses used to tell me they knew the answer, but always had to ask just to see how creative the responsives got. LOL.

    Yep, stupid people have been here all along. Now we have multiple platforms to expose the stupidity in all it's glory.

    I guess, my point would be that we weren't that stupid when living in hunter gatherer societies of about 50 people. That's what we're designed for.

    But yes, agree with @Rocket River that you could just say our design limitations are being massively exposed.

    If things like this keep happening the U. S. will never catch up in population with China.

    Lol. I'd say that's a good thing. I've been to China a few times for business and seeing people living in huts made of tarps and sticks while eating out of a green pond their sewage runs into; all the while there are hundreds of thousands of vacant high rise apartment buildings EVERYWHERE is pretty depressing.

    I have only been to Beijing and Shanghai. Beijing was depressing for sure. Right up there with Cairo and Capetown.

    Are a lot of the high rise apartments from the airport to the older tourist part of the city in Beijing vacant? There were SO MANY of them.

    If only stupid encyclopedia bullet stopping dude would have seen non-stupid yellow phone book bullet stopping dude's video by searching YouTube first before pulling his stunt, then he would have known to use 3 encyclopedias instead of 1 to stop the bullet.

    Even if that had been enough, he would likely have been in the hospital with a broken sternum and other injuries. Still a better outcome. What idiots! Both of them.

    when I did my hospital rotation and had to do x-rays the best one I had to deal with was a man slip and fell in the shower and onto his wife's dildo that she forgot to put up. talk about loose ends.

    I was reading a thread on reddit a few days ago about this kind of topic. Seemed like the ones that always had "something" up their asses always "slipped" and fell on it perfectly. What a coincidence.

    the hospital staff were saying it is a "common response" and would see at least 1 case a week
