I don't think this violates TOS, but it's still pretty incredible.

Makes an "Olympus Has Fallen" full-scale military assault on the White House a little more plausible than before.

I would imagine up until now, there hadn't been much action in years so the guards became complacent.

If this guy had a master plan with explosives, it could have gotten pretty ugly.

Someone at Vox made a GIF of the White House intruder's path:

Do you think because the White House is so old it has that old musty smell or do they keep it smelling fresh some kind of way?

It's not musty at all. The White House is pretty sweet.

I really thought this was a Dookie question.

Hundreds of Chickens Killed with Golf Club

Suspects in a bizarre burglary beat to death 920 chickens at a farm in central California earlier this month, authorities say.

The suspects pulled back a portion of the fence at the Foster Farms facility in Caruthers, California, on Sept. 20 and "once they were inside ... used a golf club, we believe, (or) possibly some other type of instrument, to maliciously kill several hundred chickens," according to Deputy Chris Curtice with the Fresno County Sheriff's Department.

In a statement, Foster Farms calls the random act of violence an "unconscionable act of animal cruelty." The company is "working with local law enforcement on their investigation into this matter and is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the persons responsible for the crime."

I say WTF because this kid has had 2 teachers more than I have ever had in one day then in my 32 years of existence.

Not to mention one of them is pretty damn hot.

Re: News that make you say WTF?

Growing up you never really think of your teachers as people. Now being an adult and knowing people who are now teachers (and some have major issues) i can see how if as a teen you find the right teacher with the right issues it's a possibility.... Teachers are just people...and a lot of these guys are the buff football players.

Brad Ausmus took out Sanchez and replaced him in the 8th with Joba Chamberlain the Tigers blew a 3 run lead and lost by 1. Probably belongs in the Baseball section, but it honestly made me say WTF.

I live in a neighborhood with Dentists, Lawyers, Teachers, Principals, etc. You would be shocked (maybe) what goes down once the cocktails start flowing.

All these people have a wild side. Its probably just human nature, but I would have never imagined this when I was in school. I thought these people in these nice professions were straight laced.

I'm a teacher, and only thing I'm afraid of is a situation being misconstrued or a student being too aggressive and me not being too disciplining. Not saying I'd act on it haha, just saying if I'm not solving a problem it could come back at me by word alone.

My real issue is that I have a sister who is six years younger than me, and I'm so used to talking to people her age because of her friends, classmates, and softball teammates. Plus I coach softball, so I have a different relationship with my players where I can like text them or drive them like it's nothing, or they are connected with me on Facebook etc. Again though, I have to be careful of what people perceive on that or what double-standard is held when it is or isn't applied to others of that age group in the same environment.

Well I'd be careful. All it takes is one rogue kid and you are screwed or at least in a painful position of having to defend yourself. I would be very careful with how you interact with them. Especially you being a relatively younger guy. They may not always view you as off limits. I am sure you are a very mature person who wouldn't let anything happen, but anytime you put yourself in a position like you are in, there is always a chance of a misunderstanding.

Chad Curtis the ex-MLB player is from my area, and now he's in prison. Granted he was guilty of misconduct, make no mistake about it and deserved what he got. He was a coach at a local high school. Temptation got the better of him. But hearing the trial, at the beginning it was just a he said, she said, the community was divided and had he been innocent of everything, his life would have been hell. Like I said, there is no doubt he was guilty, but I would imagine if a girl had been lying, his life would have been a living hell trying to defend himself.

Re: News that make you say WTF?

Not really news but I clicked on a Charlotte news website and it shows mugshots...

this was the thumbnail image...

Spoiler

The charge listed on the website was misdemeanor larceny. I was actually disappointed. I judged a book by its cover and really thought it would be selling drugs or shooting somebody or maybe stealing a car. Nope...he probably took some clothes at the mall or something stupid like that.

What a poser

Man in Inflatable Bubble Tries Running to Bermuda

Video was released over the weekend of a man in an inflatable bubble floating off the coast of Florida. Inside the bubble are protein bars, bottled water, a satellite phone and Reza Baluchi.

CNN reports Baluchi planned to "run" from Florida to Bermuda in an inflatable bubble. And the trip wasn't a total failure. He made it about 70 miles off the coast of St. Augustine before ending the voyage.

The Coast Guard found Baluchi after receiving a report that there was a man in a bubble off the coast of Miami asking for directions 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..
