sounds like the time when Kraft Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese was recalled in the Bay Area because some of the cheese contained Saw Dust mixed in with the bottle. lol Gross!

my guess is someone was launching golf balls into a potato field and they got cultivated

This literally made me laugh out loud.

I thought that was purposeful. That the amount of saw dust prevented clumping or something. Once people figured it out, they bugged out.

Hey how about we put this ****ing ******* in jail and when he's in the common area, play the videotape to his buddies!

Prick. Thankfully there are still some good Samaritans to help in times of crises such as this one.

Re: News that make you say WTF?

A guy built his own staircase in a park because he wanted to help out(and found the estimate from the city to be ridiculous). So he built it himself for $550. The city on the other hand estimated it would've cost them up to $150K(no typo,$150K!) to do it.

They have since tapped up the stairs and said the guy broke the law by doing so.

The most ridiculous part of the story for me is that $150K estimate! Even if that was false, lets say it cost something like $15k instead...how does it even cost anything that significant for something so small? How much of that money actually goes towards the building of the staircase itself....

Re: News that make you say WTF?

I mean I get why that's illegal to do. Don't know about the $65,000, though. Obviously they have to assure safety and won't just build it out of wood, or at least if they do they'll ensure it's safe of weather conditions and whatnot. I mean I watched that railing move; doesn't look that sturdy.

Just don't know how it would still be that costly, even if workers were contracted for it and it was triple the width. $8,000 max? Maybe with ADA compliance they also build a cement ramp. Then it would start to add up to the tens of thousands I'm sure.

Yeah...i can't account for the full cost, but the city has to worry about liability issues and all that...it's not like your own house where you can do whatever you want.

Plus the stairs that guy built, while functional, could cause more injuries than the slope itself. Easy to snag a toe on the bottom of wood or whatnot. It all sounds stupid, but cities are easy targets to be sued if something happens.

Re: News that make you say WTF?

this is from a prison break right in my neck of the woods.
I'd link it but my android is awful.

a dozen inmates broke out of jail last night using only peanut butter. yep, peanut butter.
they changed the number above one of the cells to one that identifies with one leading outside the jail using peanut butter. they then took advantage of a new jail guard and an inmate asked to be let back in to his cell. the guard called in to open door number such and such, and when the door was unlocked, the dozen hauled A. All but one have been caught to date. This was in Walker County Alabama.

I heard about that. Crazy story. I'm just not understanding how something as simple as blocking/changing the door # would lead to that though. I get it was a new guard that was on duty, but I'd think it'd be pretty easy to differentiate a cell door and a door that leads outside of the jail. Also is the door they went out of right next to the cells? I don't know, just hard to imagine in my head lol.
