'American Ingenuity at Its Weirdest': Florida Man Breaks the 'Law Against Stupidity'
The Australian ^ | 9/9

Sky News host James Morrow says a Florida man can show you “American ingenuity at its weirdest” after the Sunshine State resident attempted to run across the Atlantic Ocean in a giant floating hamster wheel. “That’s right, apparently there is a law against stupidity because ... the coast guard said the vessel was manifestly unsafe,” Mr Morrow said.

It must be quite tempting to post a few sentences - and repeat the same sentences because a lot of people do it.

Proofreading is our friend :)

As for this moron’s story, I suppose it’s worth a yuck. Thanks. For my part, leave these clowns to their own devices. Sink or swin, it’s all the same to me.

“ apparently there is a law against stupidity “

Once stupidity is no longer fatal, mankind will cease to evolve.

These Darwin fools can barge about as they please.

It’s when someone is injured or great sums are spent in rescuing them, that’s when I have a problem.

Correct. Most stupidity hurts. A minuscule percentage of stupidity is genius.
