The Dumbest People... Ever
This picture is real - not doctored in anyway - and was taken last by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went and bought a camera to take pictures.
The car is still running,as can be witnessed by the exhaust. A woman is either asleep or otherwise out in the front seat passenger side. The guy driving it was jogging up and down on Rt. 925. (in the background)Witnesses said their physical state was OTHER than normal. The driver finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting back to cut the twine around theload! Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they had the customer sign a waiver. While the plywood and 2X4s are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains -- are you ready for this? -- 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each. They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs.
Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent and the back shocks were driven through the floorboard. The car, with FL plates (naturally), was headed for Annapolis, where the couple presumably planned to build a new house in which to smoke their crack.

LaFAYETTE, Ga. - A Walker County man was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine after his pants exploded while he was talking to social services workers outside his home.
Daniel Gabriel Doyle, 39, met the social workers at his front door Tuesday, walked to their car and sat down to fill out some forms, said Patrick Stanfield, commander of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit Drug Task Force.
"Finally, while he was sitting in the back seat, the front of his pants exploded," Stanfield said Friday.
He said Doyle apparently had mixed red phosphorous and iodine in a film canister and stuck it in his pocket.
The chemical reaction caused second- and third-degree burns to Doyle's testicles and leg, Sheriff's Maj. Hill Morrison said. He was treated at Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga, Tenn., before being jailed.
I actually found this story from a link on a blog, and the blog has a much better writeup. From http://youcantmakeitup.blogspot.com/ (edited for decency):
So I asked a terrorist how his day was going...
...and he said business was booming!
In a related story, a man in Georgia is in police pus-tody today, after the front of his pants exploded while filling out some precinct paperwork.
The man, arrested on charges he manufactured methamphetamines, shoved a film canister filled with red phosphorous and iodine in his pocket. The next thing he knew, he had blown his balls clean off. Police were so busy laughing, they could hardly hear his excrutiating cries of pain. He was later charged with being a "Huge F***ing Moron."
I nominate this man to be our next "This is Your Brain on Drugs" spokesperson:
Man: (sitting in chair, reading The Financial Times, speaking in British accent) This is your brain.
(5 seconds later, his pants explode, and his testicles fly off.)
Man: (crouched over on the ground with bloody hand to crotch) THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUUUUUUUUUGS!! Oh God.... Someone (panting), call 911. (Loud sobbing)
