I believe there is no hope for mankind.

I wouldn’t want to give my fiancée a ring like that. Also, tattoo recipients have the craziest ideas.

I think Ripley’s is cracking up. I getting really tired of items about blithering idiots who disfigure themselves for attention.

Forget the tank. The question is WHY, WHY?

Two of those features need to be locked away someplace where they cannot reproduce….and I don’t mean the tank.

Well like the man says “you just can’t fix stupid”. Not talking about the tank of course.

In reply to:briatollahRubaiyat Rahman Michyle Glen…………………… I feel that the human race is on the endangered species list and does not even know it. At the rate we are going I figure we have about 100 years at best.

Well at least the ring and tattoo guys did weirdness to themselves. (I think they are both idiots by the way)
The tank though, was designed to KILL other people. How f’’d up is that? We see the destruction of humanity in a few strange people but not in the social acceptance of the ‘inevitability’ of war and the design of ever more efficient killing machines.

Rick Genest will start looking like a REAL zombie soon when he is forced to get all that infected skin from the tatoos removed because of SKIN CANCER!!!!!

Pronounced very close to the same, too, if I remember correctly.

Maus means mouse? I don’t believe it.

If we didn’t have nuts like Suli and Rick we wouldn’t need the tank.

The saddest part of some of the recent facts on what people do and use their skin and other body parts for is that they’re the ones that are easiest to believe. C’mon Ripley’s, wow us with something amazing! Spring is coming blow us away with some crazy kite information or something somewhat relevant and please stop with the tattoo news…Even Reuters doesn’t report on this many tattoos.

Regarding Rick. Like man – talk about shmucks.

Because they hate themselves, and Hey! Look at me everybody!!! Pay attention to me!I think some do it, because their lives are so messed up, they’re so ugly, it can’t get any worse, so why not. Like that woman that has the most facial piercings, ugly as sin. I’d cover it up too.

You’d think, after the Ferdinand debacle, the Wehrmacht would have learned their lessoon about building tanks TOO big, but nooooooooo……
