    It worked for me. Looks like nothing bad is connecting (or trying to) on my computer. I waited 5 minutes before doing the "Control+C" part.

    some bad news...


    Tech worker dies in vat of sulfuric acid
    Posted by Natalie Weinstein

    A worker at a circuit board factory in Redwood City, Calif., was found dead in a waist-high vat of sulfuric acid over the weekend.

    Even more disturbing, the man's body was discovered by his father.

    If this hadn't been reported by respectable news agencies, it would have "urban myth" or "bad mafia movie" written all over it.

    The news, however, was reported early Sunday by the San Mateo Daily Journal and later expanded by the San Jose Mercury News.

    According to the Mercury News, Fernando Jimenez Gonzalez, 18, was working at the Coastal Circuits factory when he apparently passed out from fumes as he dipped circuit boards into a tank for acid copper plating.

    When Gonzalez didn't return home from his shift, his father went to search for him. Gonzalez's body was discovered around 2 a.m. Sunday.

    A company executive, interviewed by the Mercury News, declined to comment on why police believe Gonzalez wasn't wearing protective gear.

    The plant is now closed, according to the Mercury News, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Darwin Award Nominees Announced




    Once again, it’s time for the Darwin Award Nominees. The
    Darwins are awarded every year to the persons who died in the most
    stupid manner, thereby removing themselves from the gene pool.

    This year’s nominees are:

    Nominee No. 1 [San Jose Mercury News]:
    An unidentified man, using a shotgun
    like a club to break a former girlfriend’s windshield, accidentally
    shot himself to death when the gun discharged, blowing a hole in
    his gut.

    Nominee No. 2 [Kalamazoo Gazette]:
    James Burns, 34, of Alamo, MI, was killed in March as
    he was trying to repair what police describe as a "farm-type
    truck." Burns got a friend to drive the truck on a highway while
    Burns hung underneath so that he could ascertain the source of a
    troubling noise. Burns’ clothes caught on something, however, and
    the other man found Burns "wrapped in the drive shaft."

    Nominee No. 3 [Hickory Daily Record]:
    Ken Charles Barger, 47, accidentally shot himself to death in
    December in Newton, NC. Awakening to the sound of a ringing
    telephone beside his bed, he reached for the phone but grabbed
    instead a Smith & Wesson 38 Special, which discharged when he drew
    it to his ear.

    Nominee No. 4 [UPI, Toronto]:
    Police said a lawyer demonstrating the safety of windows in a
    downtown Toronto skyscraper crashed through a pane with his
    shoulder and plunged 24 floors to his death. A police spokesman
    said Garry Hoy, 39, fell into the courtyard of the Toronto Dominion
    Bank Tower early Friday evening as he was explaining the strength
    of the building’s windows to visiting law students. Hoy previously
    has conducted demonstrations of window strength, according to police
    reports. Peter Lawson, managing partner of the firm Holden Day
    Wilson, told the Toronto Sun newspaper that Hoy was "one of the
    best and brightest" members of the 200-member association.

    Nominee No. 5 [The News of the Weird]:
    Michael Anderson Godwin made News of the Weird posthumously. He
    had spent several years awaiting South Carolina’s electric chair on
    a murder conviction before having his sentence reduced to life in
    prison. While sitting on a metal toilet in his cell attempting to
    fix his small TV set, he bit into a wire and was electrocuted.

    Nominee No. 6 [The Indianapolis Star]:
    A cigarette lighter may have triggered a fatal explosion in
    Dunkirk, IN. A Jay County man, using a cigarette lighter to check
    the barrel of a muzzle loader, was killed Monday night when the
    weapon discharged in his face, sheriff’s investigators said.
    Gregory David Pryor, 19, died in his parents’ rural Dunkirk home at
    about 11:30 PM. Investigators said Pryor was cleaning a 54-caliber
    muzzle-loader that had not been firing properly. He was using the
    lighter to look into the barrel when the gunpowder ignited.

    Nominee No. 7 [Reuters, Mississauga, Ontario]:
    A man cleaning a bird feeder on the balcony of his condominium
    apartment in this Toronto suburb slipped and fell 23 stories to his
    death. Stefan Macko, 55, was standing on a wheelchair when the
    accident occurred, said Inspector D’Arcy Honer of the Peel Regional
    Police. "It appears that the chair moved, and he went over the
    balcony," Honer said.

    Finally, THE WINNER!!!: [Arkansas Democrat Gazette]:
    Two local men were injured when their pickup truck left the road
    and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early
    Monday. Woodruff County deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident
    shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and
    Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock, were returning to Des Arc
    after a frog catching trip. On an overcast Sunday night, Poole’s
    pickup truck headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded that
    the headlight fuse on the older-model truck had burned out. As a
    replacement fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the .22
    caliber bullets from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box
    next to the steering-wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet the
    headlights again began to operate properly, and the two men
    proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge. After
    traveling approximately 20 miles, and just before crossing the
    river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged, and struck
    Poole in the testicles. The vehicle swerved sharply right, exiting
    the pavement, and striking a tree.



    Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident,

    but will require extensive surgery to repair the damage to his

    testicles, which will never operate as intended. Wallis sustained

    a broken clavicle and was treated and released.



    "Thank God we weren’t on that bridge when Thurston shot
    his balls off, or we might both be dead," stated Wallis.

    I think the electric chair one is pretty funny. Although the winner was the funniest, I'm going to go with Auslander with that one.

    that episode of mythbusters was about a man getting shot during the american civil war, not about Thurston Poole getting shot. 1 episode that is wrong is the 1 about being sucked down with a sinking ship like the titanic. they used a boat that weighed about 25 plus tons when the titanic is about 35,000 tons & a lot bigger then the boat they used. they should get approval the next time the us navy does a sinkex to see if their test dummy gets sucked down when a big ship sinks.
