Thomas Edison Electrocutes An Elephant (1903)

asynchronice says...

>> ^garmachi:

Did anybody even read the description to this, or was it added after people started insulting Edison. It's not like he did it on a lark one lazy Sunday. That would be a dick move.
Imagine if a killer whale or a lion mauled and ate three trainers. The public (many of you, in fact) would take up pitchforks and torches demanding the termination of such a beast. This is exactly what happened here.
Although admittedly, it would seem far less cruel if the elephant didn't have such a damn cute name!


No, he really was an asshole

I dunno if its true, but someone on reddit was saying the elephant was going to be killed anyways for having killed its trainer or a spectator or somethin... Edison still seems like a dick imo, but he may not have just killed a random zoo/carnival elephant.


yah it had gon on a rapage at an event , i think it killed a spekctator as well.

The most blatant 'dive' at a boxing match I've ever seen.

NordlichReiter says...

The boxer who took the dive was found unfit to fight in Sydney by the New South Wales Combat Sports Authority.


On 21 July 2010 Briggs returned to the ring in Perth to take on Danny Green for the IBO cruiserweight title. Before the bout Green labelled Briggs "unprofessional" after the latter weighed in nearly 4kgs over the agreed-upon weight. The ensuing fight was seen as a "farce",[4] with Briggs collapsing after 29 seconds following an innocuous left jab by Green, his first in the fight, which appears to have at most brushed the top of Briggs' head. Briggs was subsequently booed out of the stadium by irate fans, and had to be protected by management from projected missiles being thrown at him. In a post-bout interview Green labelled Briggs a "less than canine" and claimed he would not be getting paid for the fight, while also apologising to fans who had paid to attend.[4] Speculation has arisen as to whether Briggs threw the fight, as online bookmaker Centrebet labelled the bout "highly, highly dubious" following a massive betting plunge shortly before the fight.[5] The fight had been due to be held in Sydney but was moved at the last minute after the New South Wales Combat Sports Authority refused to commission the bout claiming Briggs was "unfit" to fight.[6]


Boxing is known to cause damage to the sense of balance. I thought it was the left jab to the body, a late pain in the lower stomach that caused him to give up. He could have gotten up. This statement is in hopes that he was physically unfit for fighting.

According to the Article that @kymbos posted, he was knocked out while sparring two weeks prior to the fight. Who the hell get's knocked out whilst sparring. Unless they do some different sparring down under.

Paul Briggs came out looking good, but I think he was just spent mentally. His trainers should have never let him fight.

Edit: This fight looks like shit.

WALKIES!

Dolphin says f*ck this, dives out of tank

It's nice to think they come over because they want to see what's happening, but I'm pretty sure they are all just following their trainers.

Or maybe they're waiting for their share of the sushi.

How I Got Famous On The Internetz

Did that "Impossible Is Nothing" dude say his trainer died of cervical cancer? That's ah... pretty rare. For males at least. (15:15 or so)


I did a double take at that too. Seems mother Nature lives by the "Impossible is Nothing" mantra as well.

I always wondered what happens to the trainer when he runs out of pokemon... Somehow I not surprised that something like this would ended, even if it is Michael Jackson...

You Have Been Watching - Humiliation On Reality TV Shows

Shepppard says...

I *cough* may, or may not have watched that season of "The Biggest Loser"

and trust me.. that girl deserved it. The trainer (bob) is the one that every contestant wants to get because he's always positive and upbeat.. and that's what Joel did to him.

She was lazy, she made tons of excuses.. there was a challenge where they placed a single piece of fried chicken infront of the contestants and said "eat it, you get $100" testing their commitment to losing weight. She was the only person who ate it.

And it was a couples thing, so she was their with a friend.. and the friend who went HOME (Because they split all the pairs until mid-season, and the remaining contestants partners got brought back) lost more weight then she did.

The myth of drinking eight glasses of water a day

Thank goodness random internet guy is here to give us professional advice about the bad advice that even doctors have been giving out.
After all, everyone knows that when your professional trainer, dietitian and doctor all give you the same advice, you should ignore that advice the moment the internet brings you the correct answer. You should never believe the myths told to you by professional doctors over the advice you saw on the internet.


What you say with sarcasm, I say with conviction; thank goodness for random internet guy. Bringing the truth to the misinformed masses when nutrition "specialists" have failed us, stolen our money, and slept with our wives.
