It’s been a few days since I posted any offbeat news items: here are some stupid human tricks.
Man Suffers Severe Burns Trying To Kill Lice: The 26-year-old doused a towel with rubbing alcohol, put it on his head and then lit a cigarette, police said. The towel caught fire and engulfed the man. He suffered burns on about 50 percent of his body, police said. Ouch–that had to hurt!
Canadian Man Tries To Bungee Jump Onto Ship–But His Cord Is Too Long: William Dean Sullivan miscalculated the ship’s speed and suffered minor head injuries on Sunday when he bounced off its tennis court, volleyball net and a deck railing, before being left dangling in mid-air as the ship sailed away, Vancouver Police said. Police said Sullivan has planned to bungee jump from the Lions Gate Bridge, which spans the entrance to Vancouver harbor, stopping just above the passing ship so he could then lower himself a short distance to the deck. That couldn’t have felt much better…
Finally, Man Clips 153 Clothespins To His Face For World Record: Garry said that attaching the pegs to his cheeks hurt the most and afterwards you could see he was in a lot of pain. There were marks on his skin that he said would last an hour and he had to keep rubbing his face. Aagh–what is it with people hurting themselves? I feel pain just reading these stories!
I was the one who jumped and it was a rope not a bungee if you want to hear more email me thanks for your interst Dean
Hi Dean, I realize this is a long time afterwards, but I’d be grateful of you would contact me to provide your version of the bridge-jumping event. Thank you. Dan McCormick dan_mccormick@sunshine.net
