A 62-year-old sledder, apparently a student of Wile E. Coyote, thought strapping a homemade rocket to his back before sledding would be give him a rush. A rush indeed happened — a rush to the hospital. The Michigan man was burned on approx. 20 percent of his body when the rocket blew up.
The man, unnamed in news stories, apparently plans outrageous sledding stunts every year, but this is the first time he almost blew himself up.
Perhaps Acme will send him a get-well card.
The Duh Award this week goes to:
A 51-year-old woman was arrested after calling 911 four times in ninety minutes about her lost cell phone. After a call or two, she had been warned not to call for non-emergency purposes.
It gets better. After her third call, a deputy went to her home and called the number, hearing it ring in the room. It was then that she was told not to call again.
And better still… she did call again. This time when authorities arrived, they found the phone for her — in her pocket.
A man was arrested at a Colorado Springs McDonald’s play area after telling his two children to “bite the faces off” the officers trying to arrest him. Police had to use a taser to subdue the man who had apparently passed out drunk earlier at the McD’s play area.
He’s now charged with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and marijuana possession.

No one was injured by the fork or otherwise.
ORLANDO, FL – Deputies found a suspected car thief playing “Grand Theft Auto” video game, and they later charged him with just that.
Polk County deputies investigating the theft of a 1998 Dodge Durango arrested 30-year-old Michael Ray Ekes on Thursday, when they found the SUV outside a home, and Ekes inside playing GTA. GTFO!
Ekes was charged with grand theft auto, burglary and drug possession. At the time of arrest, he was out of jail on bond for another grand theft auto charge.

Perhaps this is like the teenagers dressed as ninjas who recently got into trouble taking the law into their own hands. (We must dig that story up; it’s a great one!) Merely impersonating an officer is a crime in itself. Perhaps next time he should dress as a superhero instead.
subtitle: Doc, it burns when I ….
Actor Channing Tatum “burned the skin off” part of his penis in an on-the-job injury. The 29-year-old was trying to keep warm when shooting The Eagle of the Ninth in the Scottish Highlands in October.
He explained: “The only way to keep warm was by pouring a mix of boiling water and river water down your suit. We were finally done shooting for the day, and one of the crew guys asks if I want to warm up before I go. I’m like, Nah, I’m good. And then I thought, Why not?
“Thing is, he’d forgotten to dilute the kettle water. So he poured scalding water down my suit. And I was trying to pull the suit away from my body to somehow get away from the boiling water, and the more I pulled the suit away, the lower the water went. It just went straight down and pretty much burned the skin off the head of my d**k.”
Tatum – who describes the incident as “the most painful thing” he had ever experienced – was taken to hospital, but with the nearest medical facility over an hour away, the former stripper struggled to cope with the agony.
