Man Trapped for 40 Hours in Elevator
Filed Under WTF?!?!?!, Huh???, Sucks for You | 1 Comment
Seriously?!?!? I would have lost my rightful mind! I felt so sorry for him, you could see all the emotions from fear/panic/defeat/calm. I wonder if he’s gotten on an elevator since? And SMH at someone putting that “broken elevator” sign up at the end. Ya think?
According to the description from this video:
Trapped: 40 Hours In An Elevator….timelapse…true story.
CCTV:Nicholas White was a thirty-four-year-old production manager at Business Week. He was working late on a special assignment and wanted a cigarette. He told a colleague that he’d be right back and, leaving his jacket behind, headed downstairs. Thus commenced the longest smoke break of Nicholas White’s life, a harrowing experience that began at around eleven o’clock on a Friday night in October, 1999.The Business Week offices were located on the forty-third floor of the McGraw-Hill Building in mid-town Manhattan. When White finished his cigarette, he returned to the lobby, got into Car No. 30 and pressed the button marked 43. The car accelerated. It was an express elevator, with no stops below the thirty-ninth floor, and the building was deserted. But after a moment, White felt a jolt. The lights went out, immediately flashed on again and then the elevator stopped.
This happened in 1999 but this footage has only recently been made available…
Spoken Like a Man…

I’ve recently discovered that I think like a man, at least according to a test by the BBC on how to determine your sex ID. In fact, I think more like a man than 50% of men that took that test.
It makes some things about me make more sense.
- My parents (or at least my mom) thought that I was a boy because I moved around so much when she was pregnant with me (I don’t know if this is an old wives tale or something).
- I’m better friends with guys than with girls. In fact, three out of my five closest friends are male, thank you very much.
- Three out of the five things on Blogxilla’s How to Talk to Dudes can apply to me (especially the “Remember” one, otherwise I’ll remember al the random facts that weren’t even supposed to be remembered).
Take the test and let me know. Do you think more like a man or a woman?

Bill, no matter how big and bad you may think you are, you can’t, repeat, can’t do this a couple of weeks after your wife basically said that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s efforts weren’t shit.
You Are Not the Father!

So that’s where this whole Maury paternity test thing all began, huh?
1) I love the little dance that Joseph does
2) I love that Mary is screaming “Oh my God!”

Man With Almost No Brain Leads Normal Life

Well, they say we only use 10% of our brain anyway. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha! (Shut up, 10% of my brain thought that joke was funny!)
French doctors are amazed that a 44-year-old civil servant with an abnormally small brain has led a normal life with a slightly lower than normal IQ…
“The brain itself, meaning the grey matter and white matter, was completely crushed against the sides of the skull,” Dr. Lionel Feuillet told AFP. “The images were most unusual… the brain was virtually absent.”
(in the picture: All of the black in the middle is water and the brain matter is the rim of white along the outside of the skull)
Sucks for You, Buddy….

So I read two reports on Fox News (ewwww….) that I wanted to share with you.
The first…
This is like when a basketball or football player tears his ACL, potentially killing any chance of a pro-career…
A Japanese man who set a world record by wolfing down dozens of hot dogs within minutes has suffered a severe jaw injury due to his rigorous training, making his next title uncertain.
Takeru “Tsunami” Kobayashi said he can only open his mouth to make a gap the size of a fingertip after being diagnosed with jaw arthritis.
In an entry on his blog entitled “Occupational hazard,” Kobayashi said: “My jaw refused to fight any more.”
I watched this guy, Takeru “Tsunami” Kobayashi, on MTV’s True Life: I’m a Competitive Eater.
This is serious… I think this is how he makes his livelihood. That would suck so hard… it’s like me having carpal tunnel (cause I’m a web developer and stuff). Hope he gets better.

Second….
This is a very good way to discipline your child… especially if you don’t want them to end up on an episode of Maury being yelled at by drill instructors, taken to a jail overnight, yelled at by inmates, and then emerging crying and claiming they want to change their ways….
You know what the hell I’m talking about, don’t act like you don’t watch Maury…
Anyway, it beats tiring yourself out whipping her with that switch.
A Tennessee mother fed up with her daughter’s misbehavior took an unusual tack in for latest punishment, making her stand on a busy street corner with an attention-getting sign.
Tashara Wilkins, 13, held a sign Sunday reading, “I don’t obey my parents, I’m a liar. I steal from my mom. I have a bad attitude.”
“All other resources haven’t worked, so I’m making her be publicly humiliated today,” mother Cherie Wilkins told WMC-TV in Memphis. “I hope this works for her. I love my child. … I could be beating her to death, but I’m not.”
I don’t think she got to wear that sheet though… yeah, I know, crappy joke. I tried, though…

Anyway, all I can say is sucks for you…
****EDIT*****
One more “Sucks for You” story: some guy have put some of Paris Hilton’s trash for sale on eBay… I mean like banana peels and coffee grounds… that sort of trash… *waiting for it to sink in*
Do you really get how stupid that is?!?!?!
I don’t want to know what’s in her trash… or very many other people’s trash, for that matter…
And these guys have confirmation from a lawyer that what they are doing (going into someone’s trash can) is legal as long as the can has been put on on the curb and as long as they don’t trespass… and they also plan to go into other celebrities’ trash cans too.
Yeah, it’s not illegal, it’s just grimy as hell… full story here: Paris Hilton’s trash for sale on eBay.
