Third hand smoke....oy vey...

Ok, so we all know smopking is bad for you...We've found out second hand smoke is bad for you..but who would have come to think of THIRD hand smoke?!
Ok, for those of us unfarmiliar with the term, (like me) third hand smoke is the cigar, pipe, cigarette, ect. particles that settle in fabrics and hair. Basically it's that nasty stuff you can smell on people after they've smoked despite the fact the cig has been snuffed. Turns out this stuff isn't just a displeasing smell, it can make people seriously ill aswell! (Who'd 'a thunk it?! 1st hand, 2nd hand, 3rd....oy vey) It basically has the same adverse effect of 2nd hand smoke, with the whole, it makes allergies and asthma act up and stuff...not suprising...
Am I the only one that is thinking, when the hell is this going to end?!
I mean...good for them! they figured out another thing bad for us! But really...does it take extensive research to figure out that, if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and shits like a duck, it's probably....third hand duck....
ugh...my point is...first hand is bad, second hand is bad, now, third hand is bad...at least they could have come up with a witty-er name....

Suicide turned to a near homocide?

I spoke too soon with that last post....
Cops arrived on the scene on new year's eve, to a couple's apartment to find a man and a woman, the man had been shot by the woman, but not how you might think. This shot was not fired maliciously...at him. It was reported that the couple got into a fight and the woman attempted to kill herself...but missed...and shot her boyfriend....
Too good to be true, eh?
You gotta know you're a pretty bad shot to be able to miss yourself...I mean, it's a pretty close target if you ask me...
Both of them ended up fine, he lived she was sent to see professional help...dunno if they stayed together though....

When committing a crime...turn off your phone!

I was reading some weird articles when I came across a really, flat out stupid one. The headline read ‘bonehead criminals arrest themselves.’ This is exactly what it sounds like. 3 guys in Tallahassee Florida were attempting to steal cars from a garage when, one guy’s phone starts calling the police. They didn’t realize this until squad cars started pulling up to arrest them. Mixed feelings about this, first feeling was ‘ok, well at least their getting what they deserve for trying to steal those cars.’ Next feeling, ‘what idiots we have out there! They called the cops on THEMSELVES?!’ Third feeling ‘What bad, f***ing luck.’ I’ve heard some far fetched stories out there cuz my brothers a cop but this takes the cake.
