Look at all the stupid people. I mean, there's probably more to say here, about responsibility or exhibition of reckless behaviour brought on by the wired age, but really, like... look at all these stupid people. Read More >>

It's one of the oldest tricks in the book; if you can't earn money, why not make it? With your printer. Now that doesn't actually work. Making counterfeit notes is really hard. But that won't keep idiots from trying it, apparently. A man took it a step further though, by trying to return his copier/printer with failed copies still inside. Read More >>
Here's a nominee for silliest way to get caught for committing a horrible crime of the year: A man stabbed a woman in a domestic dispute in Los Angeles and then stole her iPhone. Unfortunately for him—you already know where this is going—the police used Find My iPhone to determine the man's location and promptly arrested him. Read More >>
Did know that it can take four days to fix a software hiccup on an iPad? And that you probably shouldn't use one for work, because it's shiny and your IT department can't handle all the iPads it has to fix? No? Then you haven't been talking to Dell Australia managing director Joe Kremer. Read More >>

The first rule of Brooklyn's notorious Brower Boys gang is: You don't talk about the Brower Boys gang. The second is: Unless it's on Facebook, then it's totally fine. Oh, but maybe accept a cop's friend request before you do? Read More >>
And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes and heroines found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were... deleted? Yes. The copy of the film being used for a screening last week was accidentally wiped from the server, and delayed a room full of angry nerds (and film critics) from seeing the Avengers assembled.

We all get our hearts broken. But it takes a truly horrible insane person to turn that heartache into a despicable internet shame campaign. That's what one idiot in the US did when he posed as his ex-girlfriend on Craigslist and offered sex to any and all comers. Read More >>
Michael Harper is an idiot. The 36-year-old Leicestershire-man was in the middle of robbing a power sub-station when he decided, hey, why not urinate on the power transformer. The transformer exploded, Harper caught on fire, and 2,000 people lost power. Dunce. Read More >>

In a fun convergence of dumb social media behavior and bureaucratic ineptitude, two Brits were detained by armed guards at Los Angeles International Airport for incredibly dumb (but totally harmless) tweets about "destroying America" and "diggin' up Marilyn Monroe." Read More >>

A California judge ruled today that's it's okay to sue Facebook for showing your picture in an ad. That's dumb, and to pretend that it's anything but turns a blind eye to how that nearly everyone uses Facebook. Read More >>

Hey man, how's it going? Just getting some exercise in. You know, running, lifting, jamming packages into mailboxes while wearing a gas mask and body armour then hurrying away before the bomb squad shows up to explode my stuff. Read More >>

Everyone loves setting things on fire — it's okay to admit! And some people enjoy skateboarding. That's fine! But the combination of the two can be tricky, especially when you've doused yourself in petrol and literally ride through fire. Daaaaaaaaaaarwin.Read More >>
