An MIT student wanted to stand out on career day by wearing a jacket that lights up. Airport cops nearly killed her for it.
  • Myth: Clandestine terrorists

    The guy who said this must have it right:

    "Little Miss Exhibitionist just got a valuable life lesson. Do you really want to re-learn it yourselves?"

    I am so relieved to know that terrorsts are exibitionists and that they don't try to sneak up on you or be clandestine in any way. This is verified on page 14 of the ACME all purpose Terrorist manual which clearly states:

    After you make a bomb

    a: Attach the bomb to yourself so it is out in the open. It must be easily and completely visible and look stupid.

    b. Make sure the bomb has little blinking lights that are bright and twinkly

    c: Walk around with your fully exposed blinking light bomb for days and engage people in conversation.

    d: Dye your hair blond so you stick out more

    e: If no one "gets" you are a terrorist, then pull out a bullhorn and start announcing "look at me. I'm a terrorist" repeatedly.

    f. If still you are ignored, go to an empty lot and blow yourself up because you failed at being a terrorist.

    Irrational fear is wonderful thing isn't it. It makes you lose judgement and see things that are not there and gets innocent people hurt or killed. So if you want to see in every string or rope you find in the road, a lethal snake, have a wonderful life, but just stay the fuk away from me.
