Some people go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to stupidity.

First of all, we have the folks down in Florida who want to split the state in two.

And then there’s this guy. I’m laughing so hard it hurts, and I can’t stop replaying this.

And that’s all in the stupid news tonight.

Every so often I troll the news sites for interesting and entertaining stories.  Here’s the latest crop:

• Congo pygmies go high-tech to protect their home – Fabulous idea, and I hope it actually works in the long run.
• Amorous couple causes 5-car pileup in Malaysia – Well, that’s what happens when you use civil power to enforce religious laws…
• Doctors find toothbrush in woman’s nose – First of all, it’s only half a toothbrush, but really – how did this lady miss that?
• Couple swarmed by SWAT team after 911 “hack” – and naturally, when they found the kid who made the call, he got in big trouble.  How in the world did this seem like a good idea to this kid?  Hasn’t he watched all those movies where the NSA finds you No Matter What?   You sicced a SWAT team on a couple with two toddlers and you expect people to just laugh and go on??  Oy.
• Suspect says he killed, didn’t eat, his girlfriend – OH!  Well, then it’s all okay.

In personal news, I’ve got a space heater under my desk at work now, which is fabulous because i was COLD yesterday.  And the writing seems to be picking up somewhat, which is always nice.
