I love Mixed Martial Arts and this is beyond stupid. But only slighty stupider than alpine skiing and shooting which is known as the biathalon in the Olympics.

Alex Roy has been training to cross the country in less than 32 hours. He made it. Whoopee. I write about people doing dumb stuff and crashing. In this case there is no crashing but the possibility is still very likely. He admits that he is driving through typical areas weaving in and out of traffic.
What could go wrong? A blown tire perhaps? If he has to average over 90 mph to get make it, he needs to be at speeds in excess of 130 mph to make up for gas stops.
It sounds fun and romantic in a movie way. But it is stupid. At least when someone tries to climb Everest, “because it is there”, typically they are only endangering themselves. I only came to know of Alex Roy because Tim Ferriss mentioned him on Twitter. I admire Tim which is why I follow him on Twitter but I am surprised that he would go on a trip like this.
I wonder if he is actually doing it because of the possible repercussions if something goes horribly wrong. Which it could and most likely will no matter how good the car handles. Jackass the TV show was funny because they did the stupidest things that I would never do to myself. Johnny Knoxville shot himself in the chest while wearing a bullet-proof vest. Stupid, but only he had to pay any consequences.
I think highly of you Tim. I know you experiment with different ideas and tech to see what the human body and brain can do. It sounds like fun to me too, but if something goes wrong all you can say is, “I’m sorry”, and that most likely won’t be enough.

The mother wants to bring this public so that areas will be made safer, or kid friendly. There is a fence there! She says that she won’t sue. Really? Well if you are lucky maybe Family Services won’t visit your house. Dumbelievable!
- Break the law and call it a protest then find a judge who doesn’t bother with common sense.
- Jailed for not dropping from 86 to 4 wives.
- My favorite new show is getting canceled. My Own Worst Enemy. Great show.

Most people run from the cops or do other stupid things. This is one of the stupidest reactions I could have imagined. Dumbelievable to be sure!

If you don’t know why this is funny then you FAIL as well.

The whole story from KATU.com.
But according to radio reports, the homeless woman did not know she was pregnant. I ain’t no woman but every other woman complains about how horrible labor is and morning sickness, so how did this woman just pop out a baby, in a field without any help?
Then she apparently LEFT the newborn in the field while she went and cleaned up using a garden hose; leaving the baby there to fend for itself.
What happened to mother’s instincts? In TV reports someone said that they saw her drinking alocohol.

James Colliton seems to like his name and picture in the media. After being accused of paying a woman so he could have sex with her 13 and 15 year-old daughters. He was in Canada on a trip, he says he wasn’t hiding, when American Express gave up his whereabouts.
I guess he imagines he is done with any job that will pay him anything close to what his lawyer job paid. And with everyone Googling everyone, I think he will have a hard time restarting his career after he plead guilty to rape and hiring a prostitute.
He is suing American Express for $4 million for breaking it’s own rules and “selling him out to the cops” though he wasn’t hiding. He says this caused him to be falsely imprisoned.
He is also suing his former employer for $950,000 for unpaid wages and vacation.
Classic line: “When people stop violating my rights, that’s when I will stop filing lawsuit”
I wonder how much he will pay to the little girls for violating their rights. Actually he has already served 19 months in prison. I thought those guys got abused so bad from other inmates that they wouldn’t have much to say.

How do you not think that you are constantly being taped in any room of a police station? And his argument that he knew he was being taped was pure crap which is what he probably did to his pants when he heard the recorded that conversation.
