“Then they gave them social media and they stayed children for the rest of their lives.”
The end.

Bungee jumping from the top of a 300 foot chimney stack is not the brightest thing to do, much less just standing on the few-bricks wide “platform” at the top. Seems like a real good chance of hitting the widening chimney on the way down. Then there’s falling the other way down the inside which would be even less fun.

We were discussing the stats on “dangerous selfies” on a thread yesterday....now another to add to the stats!
Lesson learned? Of course not!
To: BenLurkin
Cell phones have killed quite a number of people. We need to regulate them. They’re dangerous, especially the assault cell phones.

Did she get it on her facebook?

NPR (spit) reported 633 deaths worldwide by someone trying for a selfie in the years between 2014 and 2025. India had the most. Falls, drownings and vehicle related deaths led the way.
Before cell videos the childhood memory of Al Franken’s character in the movie Stuart Saves His Family showed his drunk father posing him on a road trying to get the picture before the next car came close to take his snapshot by a good backdrop. He got hit but said later “They told me in the hospital I was saved because I had so much body fat that it cushioned me.
