Except when you fail.
Drunkenness probably saved the life of a young Czech who recently climbed over the safety rail in order to throw himself in the Hranicka abyss but, paralysed by alcohol, he fell asleep on the edge of the steep chasm, the local police told CTK Thursday.
“The young man has been driven to hospital for a check-up. A doctor ordered that he be sent to a psychiatric facility. In addition, the young man figured on the list of missing persons,” said police spokeswoman Michaela Sedlackova said.

Now is your opportunity.
Well, chances are there won’t be ANY neighbors anywhere close by. Missile silos were built away from populated areas, behind miles of fenceline and under armed guard. Some people like the idea of all that solitude, and if that’s you, life on the (former) nuclear prairie could be for you.

Make sure you have a child around to save you.
The Press of Atlantic City reports that 56-year-old Shirldine Stewart was watching television and eating Jell-O when her grandson A’Zir Spence came downstairs to ask her a question.
When she turned to look at him a piece of food got lodged in her throat.

When she did, the food popped out.

This article will reaffirm your faith in opinion writing.
I am not political. Dishonesty is so pervasive within politics that I practice abstinence. Conservative and liberal ideologies are the enemies of common sense. I’m a nonvoting, casual observer.
Obama’s candidacy intrigues me for one reason: He has the necessary background, life experience and personality to inspire ordinary Americans to look beyond their racial stereotypes and fears.

Quoth this expert analysis:
Typical. Boy eats two double cheeseburgers and large fries for $4.24. Boy throws empty McDonalds bag onto floor in disgust. Boy falls into post fast food catatonic state, stands up 90 minutes later and banana peels himself on empty McDonalds bag, falling through TV screen and entertainment cente
Once again, proof that athletes are morons, and McDonald’s is bad for you.

Just don’t, OK? Just don’t.

An officer arrived to the man’s room and knocked at the door. After getting no response the officer had the employee open the room , where he found the man lying on the bed. The man didn’t respond to the officer at first and his eyes were half open, according to the report.
