Korean Man in Wheelchair Autodarwinates

In an utterly stupid way, an obnoxious man in a wheelchair plunges to his death hundreds of feet down an elevator shaft for a ridiculous reason: he lacked patience. The horrific accident happened in a busy shopping center in Daejon, South Korea when the wheelchair man was rushing to the elevator whose doors were closing fast after a woman pressed the close button on the elevator. Anger rose rapidly the forty-year-old man known as Mr. Lee when he kept pressing the button near the elevator door to no effect. By that time the elevator had already risen. Not even bothering to think about the possible consequences, Mr. Lee proceeded to ram the closed elevator doors with his motorized wheelchair, causing dents to form on the doors. Unfortunately, during his last attempt the doors of the elevator opened the moment his chair was moving rapidly towards them. Unable to stop his wheelchair, he plunged to his death far down below. Security cameras recorded all of the man's foolishness. The management of the shopping center later made plans to improve the strength of the doors on the elevators so similar accidents won't happen again.

Drains Clogged Up by Condoms in the Commonwealth Games

The common practice to give free condoms to Olympic athletes since 1992 has never been a problem until now in Delhi, New India. Officials reported that four thousand condoms were distribte from the in-house vending machines since the start of the Commonwealth games. However, this unexpectedly have given rise to a exceptional plumbing problem that led to odorous, clogged drains. This was the most recent woe following the previous problem with a massive diarrhoea outbreak among many atheletes residing in the athletic village that houses seven-thousand people, which was due to unsanitary conditions.

Because the drains were blocked by thousands of condoms, the atheletes had no choice but to go elsewhere to execute their routine bodily functions. Game organizers are working on a solution to clear the drains, which are technologically dated and ill-maintained. Seeking to shine a positive light on the problem, top official of the games, Mike Fennell, said that the excessive amount of condoms clogging the drains is a good sign that people are taking preventive measures against sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Due to this and many other problems, such as various technical difficulties, inadequate transport, food shortage, and bad overall organization of the games in India, spectators began dwindling in number despite reassurances from organizers claiming that there'll be full seating.

A recent case demonstrated how the power of the U.S. anti-spam laws can cross international boundaries. The most notorious spammer of Facebook, Adam Guerbuez, who euphemistically calls himself an internet marketing professional, was arrested and tried for spamming the hell out of Facebook, a famous social networking website. For months he had inundated Facebook with countless penis enlargement ads to the disgust of many of its users. After receiving many user complaints, Facebook was forced to take legal action against Guerbuez. That the Canadian court sided with Facebook proves that no foreign citizen is safe from the U.S. anti-spam rules.

The record-setting case became a warning against anyone would dare follow the same path as Guerbuez. However, unlike the other spammers who went on trial before, Guerbuez didn't make much money from his endeavors. By declaring bankruptcy, Facebook was unable to get even one cent from him. In addition to the payment for the huge damages, he was also perma-banned from face for the rest of his life. However, Guerbuez was unfazed by the ruling for the trial had given him favorable publicity. He's recognized among the inner circles as one of the greatest Canadian spammers and earned a lucrative book deal. Was the court's ruling really punishment enough for him?

Sailor's Body Found Inside Shark

A was a typical fishing trip during free time for Humphrey Simmons, who works for Xanthos Investment Company as a banker. Together with his two pals, Keith Ferguson and Stanley Bernard, they went over thirty-five miles south of Nassau to catch fish. Unexpectedly they encountered a shark that was goppling up the fishes that they were trying to catch. Even when they tried to get the boat far away from the shark, the shark kept on following them, most likely because of the blood trail that the boat was leaving behind.

Finally, Simmons and his friends decided to take a drastic course of action. They decided to catch the gluttonous shark that was spoiling their fishing trip. Using a fishing rod with a high tension line, they managed to catch the shark, but they noticed that it was extremely heavy.

The shark was split opened at its belly and out popped a headless, mangled human body that's partially digested. The police suspect that it's one of the three sailors who were missing at sea recently. What a horrible way for a sailor to die.

Tunneling Across the Southern Border for Drugs

The recent explosion in drug-related crime and illegal immigration led to the use of unmanned aircraft (UAVs) in patrolling our southern border with Mexico. This complements the border patrol agents working on foot or with vehicles, bikes, and speed boats to stem the tide of illegal immigrants and unscrupulous drug smugglers. With the increased enforcement of the southern border on land and sea, along with the encouragement of citizens to report immigrants who came her illegally, drug smugglers have increasingly resorted to the use of underground tunnels, which are now being built and discovered at an alarming frequency.

Recently, border patrol agents have discovered a tunnel under Nogales, one of many immigration checkpoints in southern Unite States. This was one of the several discovered in the city recently, which made use of the preexisting storm drain tunnels. The drain tunnels wouldn't have been built in the first place if it weren't for the fact the Mexican side of the border has a higher elevation compared to the U.S. side of the border. The high elevations enable excess run-off to flow into the river more easily.

About one underground drug tunnel is discovered per month. The drug tunnels range in quality from tight worm holes to sophisticated ones with lighting and ventilation. They were either discovered by accident, through careful observation, or through reports of alert citizens. The discovery of the tunnel usually ends with a major drug bust on the U.S. side of the border. Drugs that manage to get through will end up in the hands of the local drug dealers and possibly medical marijuana dispensaries. Why is the war against drugs so hard to win? Maybe we need immigration reform that's more strict on illegal immigrants.

Kagan Avoids Judging Over Half of Upcoming Supreme Court Cases

There are over 52 appeals cases waiting to be heard in the Supreme court and more are waiting. However, Kagan won't hear about half of them, which means that she won't he a deciding factor their outcomes. She's repeating what she did in her former job as Solicitor General in order to avoid being viewed as biased and having conflicts of interest. In other words, she's dodging the issues.

One of the most prominent cases is the issue military funeral protests in Snyder v. Phelps. The point of contentions is the balancing of privacy and freedom of speech. The father of a slained marine sed the Westboro Baptist Church for violating the privacy of his son's funeral. Lower courts were unable to settle the case so it went all the way to the Supreme court. The protestors are obvious nutcases and the justices should resolve this particular case quickly.

Teen's Brain Pickled in Jar

Several months ago, in State Island, New York, A young lad by the name of Jesse Shipley died in a horrific car accident in which he was the passenger. Shortly after his burial, Jesse's former girlfriend and his friends who happened to be part of the forensics club went to the local morgue on a field trip. They expected to see dead bodies, but what shocked them the most was that they found Jesse Shipley's brain being pickled in a jar of formaldehyde. They would've realized it if it weren't for his named being written on the label of the jar. His close friends and family began going crazy and hysterical after hearing the shocking news.

Jesse Shipley's parents later to sued the city government in an attempt to reclaim the brain. The medical examiner still claimed that there was nothing wrong with holding onto Jesse's brain. He was just trying to save enough brains so that he could test all of them in one fell swoop in his next trip to the testing facility. In other words, it was all for efficiency. Not satisified with the explanation, the Shipleys pressed on despite the rejection from the appeals panel when the city attempted to get the case tossed. They added a further accusation that Jesse's brain was labeled in a derogatory manner. It shouldn't be that much of a surprise that this happened because even Michael Jackson was buried without his brain.

Taliban Banned in Video Games Under Military Pressure

Electronic Arts self-censored it's latest Medal of Honor game under pressure from the U.S. Military and also because it didn't want to lose more profits. A simple fix to eliminate the controversial aspect of the game was done by simply changing the name of the Taliban to OpFor, which is the ancronym for "Opposing Force". In the previous month, the military banned the sale of the game from its in-base stores because certain members of the militry found it extremely offensive to allow players to choose the side of the Taliban and shoot American troops. Since the military servicemen makes up a significant portionof EA's customers, they had to make the change. Another threat was the possibility of a massive backlash from conservative and extremist groups in America.

Greg Goodrich, in a carefully worded public statement, announced his support of the change as discreetly as possible, saying that it was for the honor and respect of all people who are serving in the military. However, there's no guarantee that the US Military will retract the ban of the sale of the game in its bases.

This case is similar to what Konami faced previously when it decided to create a shooter based on the events of Fullajah. Unfortunately this potentially awesome game will never see the light of day because the company canned it due to controversy. Political correctness has affected the creativity of video games yet again.
