Man with road rage accidentally shoots himselfhttp://www.theweirdpost.com/wordpress/2008/04/man-with-road-rage-accidentally-shoots-self/TEMPE — A man accidentally shot himself after he waved a gun in anger at a fellow driver in Tempe, police said.
He was waving the gun in an attempt to threaten the fellow driver when the gun suddenly fired. Police were already dispatched to the incident and tried to stop the now wounded driver.
The man tried to evade police by driving into a nearby neighbourhood after the Friday night road-rage incident, but he crashed his car into a canal embankment, according to a police report.
The man then got out of the car and ran away, but police soon caught up to him. He was taken to a hospital and was in serious condition.
The other driver in the incident, who was uninjured, fled the scene, but was later located by police, department spokesman Brandon Banks said.
The drivers’ identities have not been released.
Banks said authorities are talking to the uninjured driver but have not been able to speak to the driver who shot himself.

Man superglues condom to penis to save on safe sexhttp://www.theweirdpost.com/wordpress/2008/04/man-superglues-condom-to-penis-to-save-on-safe-sex/A Romanian man needed some help after his ‘great idea’ started to feel not so great. He had super glued his condom to his penis.
The 43-year-old father-of-five told doctors he and his wife didn’t want any more children. Their obvious solution was to start using condoms, but the condoms Nicolae Popovici’s wife bought were a bit ‘roomy’.
The couples solution for this small problem was not to buy new condoms that did fit, but to make the big ones fit. One way or another.
They used superglue to glue the condom to the man’s penis. This did not only solve the size-issue, but they could also re-use the condoms, so they thought.
Scientists decode brain fartsUp to 30 seconds before your goof, the brain starts acting abnormally
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24245365/ We've all goofed up and flubbed up things we've previously done time and again.
It turns out the root of these brain farts may be a special kind of abnormal brain activity that begins up to 30 seconds before a mistake even happens.
The solution to such screw-ups could be a kind of mind-reading hat, a device to predict and even prevent mindless errors that can threaten lives.
