When Indiana University fired Bobby Knight, there were mass riots happening around the stadium. I knew one of the cops who was there. He was sent to keep an eye on the president's house (it's in the center of campus, no fences or anything). Just as he was arriving, they got word that several hundred rioters had left the stadium and were headed their way. There were fewer than 10 cops. He showed up and asked who the ranking officer was. They said, "you are." As the rioters came into view, he told them to fall into formation. At the last moment, he yelled "charge!" and they ran towards the mob. The mob turned and ran away. He still can't believe it worked.

Brightman posted:I think the class before mine or the one before that sorta did this except there was a #3 pig since this is a well known gag, but he was well hidden in some storage area or part of the school that was being renovated. Our school had a senior skip day, except the high school was in on it and just told the seniors to take a day off. It took the thrill right out of it.

Don't try to drive your 60,000 pound semi truck over a historic one-lane bridge rated for 12,000 pounds and no semis.  I've been on this bridge. It's very clearly not sized for trucks.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:There's nothing here that isn't funny: ex-Amish woman that can't do math destroys a historical bridge and notes her stupidity to the local news and identifies that her truck is okay just in case people were wondering if they can get anything from a lawsuit. Her license is gone, she's gonna be fired, and her place of business is probably going to get some backlash as well. This has to be the ultimate in schadenfreude, especially if the city sues to rebuild the bridge. Which they probably will. What would be more expensive: saving the old bridge or building a new one? Paoli will probably want to rebuild, or at least salvage and build a replica. Quaint charm is pretty much all they've got.

im pooping! posted:I don't know if I've been incredibly lucky or something but of all the cats I've owned they've never smelled bad enough or been dirty enough for me to intervene by giving them a bath. If you develop cat allergies, regular kitty baths can go a long way towards keeping the cat from needing to be rehomed. Mine have had regular baths their whole lives - they're not jumping for joy over it, but they don't mind.

Ozz81 posted:Kill 2 birds with 1 stone with fat people and scooters - ditch the scooters and replace them all with fold-up wheelchairs. Oh, fatty can't fit in the chair? Too bad, start walking or have someone else do your shopping while you wait. Oh, too tired or heavy to roll yourself around the store? That's your own fault for turning into a giant waste of fat space. Not everyone with a disability goes shopping with someone able-bodied who can push the wheelchair.

My parakeet loved to throw food down to the dog. She would drag pieces of toast and fruit to the edge of the cage, throw them off the top (the food was on the top and she was out), then watch as the dog came and ate it. Then she would do a little bobbing dance an go find another piece of food. She and the dog had a great relationship. She would do this regardless of whether the other bird was still eating or not. She would be dragging food to the edge and he would be running after, trying to grab bites before it was gone forever.

They are enormously challenging sometimes, extremely messy, destructive and loud. They're also very personable, charming and full of personality. They are definitely not a pet for everyone.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Those idiots were what forced us to institute a "no students touch the laser pointer, ever" rule for the night labs I used to TA for. You can tell them to not point it in the sky if they see moving lights up there, but inevitably they try and go for it the second they think you aren't looking. They somehow think "we'll be gone before they ever find us" or "we'll just all blame someone different they can't arrest all of us" is a good excuse. Surprise!

Ak Gara posted:All dogs think they're lapdogs. They just don't give a gently caress. The schadenfreude is on those owners as they go through a couch every six months and people stop dropping by because the dog has no manners and learned it's cute to eat couch cushions. Train your dogs well, people. Especially when they reach the size of adult humans.
