Man in Inflatable Bubble Tries Running to Bermuda



Kinda reminds me of a story I read on the Darwin Awards website around the time of the 2012 London Olympics about some guy to spur-of-the-moment decided he was going to swim from England to the U.S..

How did he go to the bathroom?

The ocean. He was able to get out of the bubble for bathroom breaks and eating.

I figured that most of OS would be interested in this story

A family was driven from their suburban St. Louis home by thousands of venomous spiders that fell from the ceiling and oozed from the walls.

At a civil trial in St. Charles County in October 2011, University of Kansas biology professor Jamel Sandidge — considered one of the nation's leading brown recluse researchers — estimated there were between 4,500 and 6,000 spiders in the home. Making matters worse, he said, those calculations were made in the winter when the spiders are least active.

It's like in Due Date when RDJ was constantly sitting around wondering if his child was going to be born half-black because of Jamie Foxx's character.

From the disgruntled employee files.

A jaunt on a stolen train Thursday ended in a crash and possible federal felony charges for the 22-year-old driver.


Derek Skyler Brux was charged Friday with reckless endangering, felony destruction of property and felony destruction, obstruction or removal of railroad track or fixtures after allegedly stealing a train from North Antelope Rochelle mine and driving it south 13 miles before plowing it into another train.


The disgruntled employee then unhooked some cars and drove the locomotive around what is described as a “loop” at the site and “pretty much squashed the 'expletive' outta their scales,” Brux said, according to the affidavit.

Brux then called his supervisor and asked her if she wanted to play chicken, the affidavit says. He hung up the phone and then called the rail dispatch, advising personnel there he was going onto the main rail line.

Brux said he estimated he was going 60 mph for about 15 minutes before plowing through switch 1. He told deputies he did not know where he was headed and that he wanted to make Rail Link pay, the affidavit says.


Brux told deputies he blew his horn while passing and said that there were “a lot of workers there," the affidavit says. When asked if he scared the workers Brux said, “They were probably (expletive) scared. They probably (expletive) themselves. Whatever.”

During the ride, Rail Link employees tried contacting Brux on his employee phone, Brux told investigators. He got mad and said was not an Apple fan and smashed the phone for something to do.

He took the train to Nacho Junction before backing out onto the main line and approaching a train on track 1 near an oil field crossing, according to the affidavit.Brux finally crashed the train into another at NACHO Junction on BNSF rail mile marker 62.5.

“I wanted to see what it was like to hit something, so I hit at it,” Brux said, according to the affidavit. Brux then backed up and hit the train again. He estimates the speed of both collisions was under 10 mph.

Kerby Caves, a Rail Link Employee, arrived at the scene of the crash as Brux was attempting to leave the area, the affidavit says. Caves hit the emergency shut-off switch on the fuel tank, disabling the train.

Brux then fled on foot toward a treeline before being caught by deputies. He stated that he was having a bad day and trying to prove a point.

Due to the fact there were no injuries, I'm going to file this under AWESOME.

That sentence about spiders oozing out of the walls is the scariest damned sentence I've ever read.
