Dateline, 22 March 1999, Phnom Penh Cambodia! Three men were reveling in a local bar, drinking and arguing about nothing. One of the three had an unexploded mine, which he tossed on the table. The three then played a weird version of Russian roulette where they would say something, then pound their glass on the mine, and then guzzle.
The other villagers, who actually had brains, fled the scene and waited a good distance outside for the inevitable. Eventually, a tremendous explosion disintegrated the bar, the three men, and anything nearby. The moral: Ordinance and alcohol definitely do not mix.
In Urbana, Illinois, it is unlawful for a monster to enter the corporate city limits. I guess there was a problem at one time.
Gregory David Pryor was apparently having some problems with his gun. The 19-year-old Jay County, Indiana man was dissatisfied with the gun's performance, and after loading a goodly amount of gunpowder into the firearm he decided the best way to resolve the issue was to look down the barrel with a lighter. Apparently the gun worked just fine, because it shot him in the face. I have not one single idea what he thought was supposed to happen. What really scares me is that he had a gun AT ALL!
This is a space race urban legend that is sometimes used to point out NASA's lunacy and space exploration's grievous waste of money. This has to do with writing instruments. According to the note, Paul Fisher was asked by NASA in the 1960s to develop a space pen. They supposedly spent millions of taxpayers' dollars to develop a pen that would work in space. The Russians, however, used a much more elegant solution -- the pencil. This rumor is partly right and mostly wrong. It is true that Mr. Fisher developed a pen to use in space, but at no expense to NASA or the American taxpayer. Before the pen was available, both Russian and American astronauts used pencils. Pencils were ruled unsafe for several reasons -- they burn, they can break and float into delicate instruments, and they might get into a nose or an eye, just name a few. The space pen was eventually developed and sold to NASA for about $3 each. It was also eventually used by the Russians as well.
