It's the end of the world as we know it, Part II



It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.



(EDITOR'S NOTE  -  Judging by the stories in the news, I am firmly convinced we have reached the End of Days.  Human beings are fucking idiots.  We are doomed.)



Story #1)  Police used McDonald's hamburgers to lure naked man off tower


Police were able to lure a naked man who spent hours atop a downtown Los Angeles radio tower with McDonald's hamburgers.

The man climbed to the top of the tower Wednesday night. At one point, police sources said, he asked for hamburgers from McDonald's. Officials complied, and he agreed to come down after eating his meal.

The 45-year-old Arizona resident was uninjured. It was unclear why he climbed the structure, which is part of a city personnel building just east of the downtown skyline.

He removed items of clothing after he began scaling the tower about 4 p.m.

"He started taking his clothes off as he climbed," Officer Karen Rayner told The Times.

Long Hoang, 29, of San Jose wears cardio mask and weighted vest by CrossFit after jog. A postal customer thought he looked suspicious and called in the bomb squad.

Story #2)  Bad idea.  Man mails package while wearing gas mask and 'body armor'

Word to the wise: Maybe it's not the smartest thing to jog in what looks like a gas mask and body armor, and then jam a package in a post office box.

It could touch off what happened Tuesday at the busy San Jose post office on Lundy Avenue: a full-scale police response, complete with the bomb squad and a robot.

But San Jose police said the suspicious-looking jogger seen fidgeting with a package at a drop-off box was only working out in hard-core, albeit odd-looking, exercise gear.

"The guy said he was wearing a cardio mask," said Sgt. Jason Dwyer. "It was his cardio day, and he was trying to lose weight."

That's not what a post office customer thought when the man in the weird mask and vest was stuffing a package in a blue mail box about 12:30 p.m. The customer called police, and in a flash, the post office was on lockdown until 4:30 p.m., with 150 employees and customers tucked away in the back.

The San Jose police bomb squad, the Fire Department's hazardous materials unit and the postal inspector descended on a normally quiet strip of North San Jose. A robot detonated the package, which turned out, police said, to be a bunch of calendars.

"My friends kept messaging me, Is this you? Is this you?" recounted Long Hoang, who lives near the post office and is a student at Cal State East Bay in Hayward.

Story #3)  Dwarf left paralyzed after being thrown by drunken Rugby fan


Police are hunting a drunken reveler wanted for random dwarf tossing after a man was left partially paralyzed following an assault at a pub during a rugby match.

Martin Henderson - celebrating his 37th birthday with friends - was thrown into the air by a hooded thug in a copycat of the shamed England rugby star Mike Tindall's behavior in the summer.

Tindall was kicked out of the Elite Player Squad and fined £25,000 after a Rugby Football Union investigation into his drunken night in a dwarf-themed Queenstown bar.

In the copycat incident a month later, Henderson suffered damage to nerve tissue in his spine causing his legs to go numb after landing on his back on the pavement.

Officers have now launched an investigation into the incident.

Henderson condemned the hooded stranger after the cruel prank left him confined to a wheelchair.  He said: "From what I remember, there was only one person involved but it was very scary as I didn't know what was going on.

"I guess I was an easy target and the only reason I was picked on was because I am small.

"People's attitudes to me when I go out can be pretty cruel. Most are OK but you get the odd idiot who will make fun and start laughing at me.

"You just have to ignore it but this is the first time I have been picked up and thrown about."
