More things that make you say hmm...

Today I've got a couple of things that make me go hmm... First of all, I almost made a fool out of myself during my night class tonight. It's a three-hour class, so there was a ten minute break. During this break, I thought I'd check some email, read some news, and do a little surfing. Here's what I found. It's a story of terror. Mostly because I've eaten at the very restaurant where the incident happened, but also because I'm terrified that some people are either so lucky or so stupid. If you didn't click on the link, a man was eating at a Carl's Junior restaurant and he decided he needed to relieve himself. Our man headed to the restroom where, while he was sitting on the toilet, his concealed handgun went off, shooting a bullet directly at the toilet bowl. The bullet shattered the bowl, and a piece of fiberglass flew off of the toilet and directly at his elbow where it cut the man. First of all, how stupid does a man have to be to keep a gun in his pocket without the safety on? And how is it that the man was so lucky that the gun wasn't pointing at him (possibly leaving him unable to have any more children ever), but he walked away with a cut and a possible STD in his elbow (after all, who knows what's on that toilet)?

In other, more disturbing news, three children were taken out of their home in New Jersey – no surprise, I know, it is Jersey. However, the young boy was named Adolf Hitler and his sisters were named other Nazi-related names. The child protective services in New Jersey decided that naming a child Adolf Hitler could be considered child abuse and therefore removed he and his sisters from the home. How seriously stupid do you have to be to name your child after the führer himself? That kid really has no future ahead of him if he keeps that name! Okay that is all...have a lovely evening!
