My Photo Is Famous!

[joreth]

I'm so excited!  So, the official U.S. Navy Web Site has a safety section, which discusses an awful lot of things about safety.  But what's really cool about this is they have a Photo Of The Week section where people send in photos of people being incredibly stupid.  And you rarely get much more stupid than my co-workers.

So I take pictures of them at work doing stupid things.  Fortunately, I'm the only one who carries a camera, so no one ever gets pictures of me doing these stupid things.

Anyway, I stumbled upon this site while researching the myth of steel-toe boots and I spent several days laughing my ass off at these stupid people.  I then promptly submitted some photos I had lying around in my Backstage Antics section.

They got accepted!

Congrats!

And thanks for yet another example of how people have trouble thinking critically *sigh*

People just amaze me. I keep thinking I'm cynical, but if I really were, wouldn't I cease to be amazed by now?

I mean, seriously, how difficult is it to reach the conclusion on your own that anything heavy enough to curl the steel and cut off your toes is heavy enough to do at least the same amount of damage without the steel? Forget about all the other data, which may or may not be intuitively obvious. Dropping shit on your toes fucking hurts! Putting something hard on top of your toes makes it not hurt so much.

And the world is flat, we never landed on the moon, vaccines - not germs - actually cause disease so the pharm companies can make more money, there's a big guy in the clouds who created the entire universe just to sit around doling out punishments for who we have sex with and whether we pray kneeling or standing, and 1 + 1 sometimes equals 5.
