You do realize that about 80% of those stories are probably total bullshit, right?

Still a fun read, though.

Nice to see that Kent is represented.

It's pretty clear Wikipedia became popular around 2007.

Geez, even if most aren't true, we come from a dark place.
It's important to know that. To know even a few examples, over little more than two thousand years, of man's inhumanity, you can barely imagine the kinds of things that went on for hundreds of thousands of years before that.

Yeah, nice to see Seattle represented...and appropriately so!

2005: Kenneth Pinyan from Seattle, Washington, died of acute peritonitis after receiving anal intercourse from a stallion. The case led to the criminalization of bestiality in Washington state.

I thought that was going to be a wacky fun read, but instead I found it really sad.

A lot of them are children and teens, and they were not doing any Darwin Award type activities, so yes...horrible.

Lord - who knew? I find that the man my grandfather was named for - a Copperhead - Rep. Clement Laird Vallandigham (D-OH) - accidentally killed himself trying to prove that you could accidently kill yourself.
