Pro Tip: Don't be surprised when you get ripped off on ebay. The things I've seen just in the comic industry alone is staggering. Sadly these things happen all the time.

I'll bet you guys can remember that guy who tried to blow up a plane in December '09
Yeah the one with the bomb hidden in his underwear.

His lawyer wants a new trial because it is unfair for him to be locked up for life.
One of the reasons for this appeal is that the bomber was the only one who got hurt..

Mr Clatworthy previously made headlines in 2007 when, aged 12, he used his judo skills to catch a drink-driver who had

crashed into three cars in Ilkeston Road, Radford.

I'm guessing he was still trading on that when, aged 15, he impregnated someone...

I propose 20 years is acceptable, plus 80 years of constantly going though an airport security line is fair.

And insta-cavity search. Because next time it might be not in his underwear.

He should frame that 'photo', as a little memento.

A plastic gun the size of a paper clip isn't allowed. Well, I sure don't want that menace on my plane.

Obama's speech at Nelson Mandela's funeral was translated into sign language for the benefit of deaf viewers across the globe... the only problem is that apparently the signing guy was making it up...

Apparently he was dyslexic. What's the chances of that!?

How did they not spot that?... the signs were all there.

The 19-year-old student, of Bilborough, had saved up in order to buy a limited edition Day One version of the console as a surprise Christmas present for his four-year-old son, McKenzie.

This guy sounds very smart.

 

[Blitz24]

This guy sounds very smart.

Bet you he's gonna buy BF4 for his 4 year old as well.

How did they not spot that?... the signs were all there.

I assume that the dyslexia threw them off. Although just waving your hands around like an idiot and mocking a disability is probably not in the best taste.

 

[Touring Mars]

I haven't seen any reports that the guy was dyslexic, but he is claiming that he is schizophrenic and was hallucinating at the time... although, according to African news channel eNCA, he has been charged with a litany of serious offenses in the past, including rape, murder, attempted murder and kidnapping - but most of the charges against him have been dropped due to his (supposed) mental condition. Apparently he was (or is) also under investigation for fraud as well.

 

[Infinital-NG]

I assume this is in the right place.
