Was he a relative of Augustus Gloop?

Any truth to the rumor that you need a golden ticket to go to the funeral?

He would have been alright if he hadn't tried to eat his way out.

A WOMAN is suing an Egyptian hotel claiming her daughter
Magdalena Kwiatkowska’s 13-year-old returned to Poland from their holiday expecting a baby.

Magdalena believes the teenager conceived from stray sperm after taking a dip in the hotel’s mixed pool. She is now seeking compensation from the hotel.

A travel industry source said: “The mother is adamant that her daughter didn’t meet any boys while she was there.

“She is determined to go ahead with the case.”

Tourist authorities in Warsaw, Poland, have confirmed they received the bizarre complaint.

Well, if the only other choice is letting her husband and brothers slaughter her poor child... I'd try to convince my retarded male relatives that it was a magical sperm pool in Poland too.

This adds new meaning to the term "gene pool".

serves her right.

The link contains a better link.

Not just any manhole.

Quote:

crews were flushing a high-pressure sewer line at the time.

"It was four or five feet, it was very painful. I kind of crawled out and the DEP guys came running and helped me," Longueria told the Staten Island Advance.

This is exactly why saturation coverage with CCTV is so important. When shit like that happens, I want to be able to watch it. Over and over again.

Mind you, I think the family have a partial case in the lawsuit:

Quote:

Sewer line workers are supposed to cut off pedestrian access to work sites or at least mark them with warning signs.

Which implies that they hadn't, and furthermore

Quote:

For its part, the Department of Environmental Protection said its workers had turned away briefly to grab some cones when the incident occurred.

I would have thought, safety barriers first, hole in the ground second. Unless they meant "grab

some

cones

..."

Crimson Ghost · 07-14-2009, 12:49 AM

I saw this on the local news.

She had just been handed a phone and was about to text, when she went on "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride".

Yeah, the DEP should have put cones around the area first, but if she can't pay attention to where she's walking, then I say "thin the gene pool".

The manhole (calling Sheldon...) is in the middle of the sidewalk, but if you can't pay attention, oh well.
