Drinking Breastmilk and Driving a Dangerous Combination


Poll: What is more dangerous to yourself and others.

1. Driving while talking on a cell phone.
2. Driving while eating
3. Driving while not buckled up
4. Driving while not buckled up AND breastfeeding!

I think I'd pick #4. A 47 year old woman in Germany disagrees though. She was objecting to being pulled over by an officer for doing exactly that because she thought it was ok to do since she was so close to home and would have made it safely.

I'm sorry, but I can just imagine the little one suddenly squirming, and she swerves into another late and boom. Rocket baby with milk thrusters happens. Crazy.

Now, there are 4 issues for me in this story. 1. Woman not buckled up. 2. Babies are supposed to be in the back seat in those damned puzzle like seats that are impossible to undo. Did she pull the baby out while driving? 3. Breastfeeding an unsecured baby in a moving vehicle. 4. 47 years old??? 18 month baby??? Breastfeeding?? Does this woman win an oldest mom award?  Also, a little too old to be at the boob?

They were fined for "failing to provide proper security for herself or her child"

I wonder though why the baby wasn't given a fine for drinking while driving.

Kids Drink Melted Dry Ice For Fun - Weird News


3 middle school kids from Boston were rushed to the hospital because they didn't learn the lesson being taught during their Science class.
These kids each dared eachother to drink melted dry ice after just doing an experiement where they expanded a balloon on a beaker by putting dry ice in water in said beaker. Smart.


What do you think happened? Well, they all started pooping snowcones and are now the hit of the school!


Actually, The 3 boys stomachs started to react and inflate. They had to be rushed to the hospital to prevent internal rupturing. Now, who knows where the teachers were when this dangerous chemical was sitting out for 12 year old boys to get a hold of. But really I don't think all the blame can be put on the teacher when a kid that age sticks something bad in his mouth at school. Unless, you know, its that kind of teacher.


One of the kids said "...I dared my friend to do it--it didn't turn out so good." Really? Is he surprised? You'd think eating anything that comes out of a science lab wouldn't "turn out so good." Maybe they thought itd give them special powers, and they could be, "Wart Removal Man, and his sidekicks Fog Boy and CO2 kid!" Or they'd be able to rent themselves out to nightclubs as human fog machines.


Lesson learned though, they said they wouldn't drink anything again that they didn't know about, and to not take jokes too far.


Two out of three have been released from the hospital now, and the third is still under observation.


Let's hope he doesn't get dared to drink what's in the bedpan next.

Lord Jesus Christ shall rise again...after being hit by a car - Weird News


Yea though I walk through the roads of Northhampton, I shall fear no Buicks, for thy crossing guard art with me. Thy stop sign and reflective vest comfort me.

A man named Lord Jesus Christ was hit by a car today at a crosswalk in downtown Northampton Massachusetts by a 20 year old driver.

The police have confirmed that his real name is, Lord Jesus Christ.

He was taken to the hospital for minor facial injuries.

Maybe he should just stick to walking on water.

Woman passes drivers test on 960th attempts - Weird News




There is a 69 year old woman Cha sa in Seoul, South Korea that has been taking the written portion of her drivers test nearly every day since 2005 who finally, FINALLY passed the test today. I've been following her trials for the last few years and each time I read an article on her, I can't help think....would they even want her to drive at this point? This is only the written exam. She hasn't even gotten behind the wheel yet! A second thought that occurs to me is that I hope she doesn't come to my town, we've got enough bad drivers!

Back around her 771st attempt she had already spent about $3000 on fees. She finally got the 60% she needed to pass the test.
So I guess 960 is her lucky number. Unlucky for everyone else on the road.

She only had to take the driven portion 10 times before she finally got her official full license. Lower standards perhaps? Maybe the instructor was into our aged Mrs. Sa? 50% automatically for not killing anyone during the test? Or it could just be pity.

With her license she plans to buy a small secondhand car to visit her son and daughter, and for her vegetable selling business.

I hope her car has airbags....on the outside.
