Naked Man In Compromising Position Dies In Car Crashman killed in an unusual accident in Pittsburgh's Brighton Heights neighborhood has not been identified yet. Naked, in a compromising position with a woman, while driving, and on drugs? What are the odds of a fatal driving mishap? No greater than one in three, I'm thinking. He Didn't Read His P.J. O'Rourke, Alas: P.J.'s essential advice: "How to DRIVE FAST on DRUGS while getting your WING-WANG SQUEEZED and not SPILL YOUR DRINK." Thanks to the BumperStickerist. Belated Hat-Tip: Sometimes I open an article and don't get around to posting it for days on end, then I can't figure out who sent it to me. That happened here. I've had this in an open window for days. The Warden of Cliffs of Insanity says he sent it to me, and I believe him. posted by Ace at 02:09 PM
CommentsSpeaking as someone who grew up within walking distance of that neighborhood, this event does not surprise me. Posted by: Cole from Conservatee on August 8, 2005 02:12 PM

I guess you can say they were both 'banged up' pretty badly. Even better... I take it her airbags failed to save his life. Sounds like the phrase 'don't stop' was taken too literally. Posted by: El Capitan on August 8, 2005 02:50 PM
yeah, but was he also talking on a cell phone? Posted by: Dave in Texas on August 8, 2005 03:01 PM
Dear human owner - we are pleased this clearly (judgmentally) defective unit selected itself out of the gene pool before causing serious harm to others. We really do try to catch these defective units at the factory, but the volumes we handle makes it virtually impossible to implement ISO 9000 and 6-sigma quality control over human production and maintain the kind of volume production the world demands of us. This was really the best of all possible outcomes once one of these defective units leaves the factory and makes it into the field. We hope this unpleasant experience with one of our units doesn't cause you to stop using our services in the future. Posted by: tony on August 8, 2005 03:02 PM
WTF? I sent you this same link last week. No wonder Dave always beats you to the punch. Posted by: The Warden on August 8, 2005 03:39 PM
I wonder if this asshole was driving the semi that nearly ran me over on I-80 yesterday. Posted by: Brown Line on August 8, 2005 03:53 PM
No Brownie, the truck driver was probably having to squeze his own wing wang. I've found that the secret to surviving a second-party "squezing" is to drive in the right lane of the freeway with the cruise control on. Less thinking required that way. Posted by: Dacotti on August 8, 2005 06:51 PM

Dude trolls a city council meeting about permitting yet another mosque by promising the mosque will destroy America
"All women who are overweight or obese will have to wear burka. 10,000 steps per day, low carb."
Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit. Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?) I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

On "Professor" Arday:
He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.-- Krebs v Carnot

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long. Recent Comments
