If you take off your shoes, you might step on something, or a fungus may attach itself to your foot, crawl inside an open cut and you could DIE!!!!!!! Of course, if you look out your window, a bird might head straight toward you, peck a hole in the glass and peck out your eyes. And if you have a cat, in the middle of the night, it may come into your bedroom, sleep on your face and suffocate you.




And if you don't DIE, you might end up looking like THIS:





This is a major news story. I hate the local news. Everything is just drama drama drama.

1. LOL!

The news is a complete and utter joke to me these days. Especially local news.

4. Local news is an abysmal failure

Who runs your town? How would you ever hope to find out?

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. I know who does the anchor's hair and who provides their clothing.

That's how deep the local news goes.

2. National news isn't any better. Bob Schieffer ended tonight's

broadcast with a giggling fit. I can't even remember what it was about.

3. Someone read this to me. I'm hiding under my bed, just to be safe.

[Kerrytravelers]

14. Careful under the bed. If you fall asleep, you might inhale a dust bunny

AND DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15. Haha. I've got my astronaut suit on, but you can't see it.

'cause it's dark in here.

5. Snakes on a plane, too.

:) I couldn't resist.

How unbelievably silly. Yes, you can get sick when you travel. Most likely, though, is where you travelled to, not the airports in between.

6. A friend, 38 years-old, died in an airport: aneurysm. Got it from sitting

on a plane too long. (It's a blood clot.) That's why they tell people to get up and walk around on a plane.

[Kerrytravelers]

7. Telling people to get up and walk around is sensible.

Dramatically telling us fungus will crawl inside our feet and kill us is in the league!




IT'S A WAR ON FUNGUS!!!!!!!

8. I could be a writer for the local news

People at work call me "Debbie Doom" because I can always come up with the worst case scenario for anything.

[VOX]

9. Don't foget to say "And experts say it's going to get a lot worse..."

"...before it gets better." :)

I'm nailed every now and then for being a disasterizer, too. Hang in there! :thumbsup:

[FearofFutility]

11. ROTFLMAO!!

Yes, that's one of my catchy phrases. I totally blame my mother.....

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Great! You can write the news headlines for the GOP Nov. 8th

Go get 'em, girl!

[FearofFutility]

19. If I had a middle finger smiley, I would use it right now. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. A picture is worth a thousand words............

[FearofFutility]

22. Yes, it is.

[Ilsa]

10. If you have a cut and get into the bay, you could get that flesheating

virus! Your limbs could be amputated! Run for your lives!

[Ilsa]

12. A nuclear blast at the Port of Long Beach could kill 60,000 people

Long Beach Port Study
A nuclear blast at the Port of Long Beach could kill 60,000 people, expose 150,000 to radiation, send 6 million people fleeing and cause 10 times the economic losses attributed to 9/11, the Rand Corp. says.

This was on the website also.

[Kerrytravelers]

13. Great info. I wonder how else we could all die?

Personally, if the big one is coming, I think all of DU should gather together. Might as well go out in style.



I had a professor who said that when the world is ending, he wants just 5 minutes to go fornicate by himself in the corner. Not a pretty image.

[Ilsa]

26. Yuck! LOL! This reminds me of a

Star Trek Next Generation episode where an alien says he wants to experiment on the crew using various torturous techniques and about half of them will die.

I'm already wondering what Bushco has planned for all of us "little people."

[Fleshdancer]

17. local news is insane

Is it too much to ask to get the weather forecast, traffic updates and local news without having some nut tell me about a new odd way to die or that my child is in grave danger of being raped, beaten and killed? Is that really too much to ask for?

And they wonder why people are relying more on the internet to get the news. :eyes:

[dflprincess]

18. Apparently the idea of "terra-ists"

isn't scaring us enough. Now, killer fungi, that's something I can lie awake at night contemplating. :sarcasm:

[Initech]

20. I wonder what would happen if you were to puke on the jetway?

That's liquid, isnt it?

[Kerrytravelers]

25. LOL!

:rofl:

[Bluzmann57]

24. You could eat that delicious airplane food

have an upset stomach, have to let it out, find the bathroom occupied, and choke on your own vomit too. Hey! This is sort of fun. I see why newscasters like this stuff. :sarcasm:

[Kerrytravelers]

27. We should have a DU contest!

Everyone submit a "news story"- drama and all- and we put together an "Onion" inspired collection of fascinating ways to die that local news stations would be interested in!
