Maybe there's a good reason shariah law forbids women drivers.

A 24 year old muslim woman was killed in Sydney, Australia when her burkha became caught in the axle of the go cart (!?) that she was driving.  The neck injuries were so severe that the woman died soon after the accident.

Not the woman that was killed
but ya' gotta love the picture.

This brings to mind Isadora Duncan, the acknowledged creator of modern dance, who favored long flowing scarves.  At least right up until the moment one them got wound up in the spokes of her open top car strangling her almost to the point of decapitation.  (This accident caused Gertrude Stein to remark that "affectations can be dangerous.")

How droll.

Mortuary technicians behaving badly.

Here's a good one from tbird.

What with all the murders, suicides, car wrecks, overdoses and other manners of unexpected death, you would think that the morgue that is associated with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in New York City would be a place that is way too busy for tomfoolery and disrespectful fuckery.  Boy, would you be wrong.

Photos have surfaced of mortuary techs having a goof with body parts and making sport of deceased persons.  Not cool, fool.

Kaihl Brassfield (and head) impersonating a Heisman Trophy.  Hilarious!

Another mortuary employee pretending to be Hamlet.
Real funny, douchebag.  

Suspended technician Kaihl Brassfield, 35, star of some of the more ghoulish photos has said that now that he's older he's stopped with the hideous hijinks.  Earth to Kaihl.  The photos are dated 2004 when you were 29.  That wasn't old enough for you to know you weren't supposed to be playing around with somebody's loved one's head?
