Dumb People

1. Mind what you say, a tweet may look puny in your eyes, but not so- "Woman Sued for $50,000 Over a Tweet"- Mashable!


2. And, mind what you blog about- "Small Town Rebels Against Blogger"- WordPress Tavern: the said woman lost her job, a local bar refused to serve her food, and she was once pushed into a ditch- all for blogging about a small town where she found herself living in. Safe to blog about the rich and the famous.

3. There is a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico, created by the runoff of fertilizers, which feed a kind of algae which feed in turn oxygen-eating bacteria, which means nothing lives there- hence dead zone. Update of it at Wired: Wired Science

4. This is not really dumb, but then what is it? Definitely not clever- a man who robbed a bank confessed about it and handed over $12000 and walked away- www.metro.co.uk. Nay be this should come under We are what we are: you know, repentance, moral values etc.

5. The case of a man who inserted a salami into his anal canal for sexual stimulation- NCBI ROFL

6. Not dumb, but an unfortunate accident- a woman got herself wedged between the toilet and bathroom door and couldn't free herself- for seven days: www.metro.co.uk

7. And this is horrible: A man in Moldova was digging his garden and found a pile of bones: the neighbours suspected that it was somebody he had killed: police came in, and then archeologists!- "Moldovan accused of murdering 1800-year-old"- Russia Times

8. Caught in undress- cricketer walks out to bat in his underwear and is timed out- www.metro.co.uk

9. Cute headline- some would say it is a dumb pun- "Flight grounded by coffee maker aroma"- Reuters: Oddly Enough. I don't know whether it is Deepa Seetharaman or Gerald E. McCormick that wrote the headline, but it is better than the news- actually the headline is what makes the news interesting. Clap-clap!

10."A Moscow firefighter has lost his job after police discovered he had been growing marijuana at his firestation for 4 months." This news, it has to be MosNews:. One gets the idea that a Tolstoy or Dostoevsky is possible only in Russia- hard work and thankless suffering ending in frustration, anguish, thanks to a merciless State machinery- Russia is written all over this: "“It takes six months. I never got my harvest,” Marichev said bitterly."

Be happy- and don't assemble any Marijuana plant, you don't need no highs,  just be happy through suffering, okay?
