And now, the honorable mentions:

2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger.. The chef’s claim was approved.

3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.

4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies.. The deception wasn’t discovered for 3 days.

5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.

6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer… . [If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?]

7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly.. He decided that he’d just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape…

8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, “Yes, officer, that’s her. That’s the lady I stole the purse from.”

9.. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti , Michigan at 5 A.M., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn’t open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren’t available for breakfast… The man, frustrated, walked away. [*A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER]

10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street by sucking on a hose, he got much more than he bargained for.. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline, but he plugged his siphon hose into the motor home’s sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the best laugh he’d ever had.

Darwin’s theory of Evolution by Natural Selection (which after examination is an accurate working theory of how and why evolution happens) defines not only how those who are better adapted survive, but also how those in the population who aren’t do not go on to pass on their genes. The Darwin award points out those who were not well adapted to survive.

An Astronaut on a rotating space station experiences 1g of force (10m/s/s). The station rotates once each 60 seconds. What is the space stations diameter?

Chosen Answer:

When a body moves in a circular path of radius (r) at angular velocity (w) it experiences an acceleration (a) towards the centre of the circle; this is called a centripetal acceleration. We can write:

a = r*w^2

In your example, a = accn due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2 and w = 2*pi/60 rad/s1789m

9.81 = r*(2*pi/60)^2

r = 9.81/(2*pi/60)^2 = 895m

The required diameter is 1789m

Re g = 10m/s^2, what planet are you on ? Am I right in saying that in the USA pi has been defined by law as 3 ?

Note that g is an acceleration, not a force.

Chosen Answer:

It (thought predictor) is a proof by way of example as a notion that exists apart from other notions for the meaning for the word ‘predict’, the word participle for the word ‘predictor’, ‘predict’ is a verb, verbs describe action, process, system, ‘predictor’ is an abstract noun for a thing in its action ‘predicts’, if it ‘predicts’, then a person may demand of it to ‘predict’. But any action of thought predictor is simply and only to move input from one word context to another for which thought predictor has in memory, its prediction is its own action for the users input is not in memory at a time before that input is in-put, and for input to match a prediction of thought predictor, that input before that time is in memory for that action thought predictors predictions, the meaning for the verb ‘predict’. The meaning for the word ‘predict’ is not reprint from memory, it is ready memory as copy for next input. If next input is not equal to copy in memory, then prediction or predictor failed identity.

I am a Tasteful Treasures consultant. Our convention’s theme this year is “Space Jammin’.” We are to dress up according to the theme. But, I want to coincide with the theme of the company as well. Any ideas how to make a space costume work with the romance enhancement theme of our company?

They give out prizes for the best costume. And I think something that creatively links the two themes will more than likely get me an award as opposed to something that is just space related. So, creative voices out there… help a girl out!
