The Official WTF Thread

Fitting that Freese is Mr. January. Probably the only time he'll be healthy. And Skippy is Mr. March because that is when he'll hit best.

And because he's Mr. Freese. You don't put Mr. Freese in July. He'd die.

Thinking about a career change, Cronos? Forget grad school, become a "man with a boat"?

[The Third Man]

I've seen the video of that before, but I can't remember where.

Three people were seriously burned attempting to restart their van by pouring gas from a bucket into a water bottle directly into the van's carburetor. The van started but soon exploded. The flaming motorists then ran... into a gas station.

Other witnesses told police the woman jumped out the back of the van and fell to the ground on fire, and the van rolled over her leg. The two men jumped out in flames and ran toward the Chevron station on the corner desperate to get their fires out. One man made it into the gas station and tried to douse himself with water.

Seriously, if this van's a-rocking run for your lives... and don't run into a gas station.

Someone needs to tell Matt Hardigree that gas stations are not, like, made out of gas. I mean, yeah, he probably would've been better off finding something large to smother himself with, but this certainly reads like his choice of building was the issue.

On Jan. 23, China's state broadcaster, CCTV, ran a story about an air force training exercise that contained some suspicious footage.

Around the segment's one minute 12 seconds mark (see above), as the China-U.S.-oriented blog Ministry of Tofu pointed out, "the way a target was hit by the air-to-air missile fired by a J-10 fighter aircraft and exploded looks almost identical to a cinema scene from the Hollywood film Top Gun."

Viewers were led to believe that what they were seeing was a live fire exercise. But according to Ministry of Tofu: "A net user who went by the name "刘毅" (Liu Yi) pointed out that the jet that the J-10 'hit' is an F-5, a US fighter jet. In Top Gun, what the leading actor Tom Cruise pilots an F-14 to bring down is exactly an F-5. Looking at the screenshots juxtaposition, one cannot fail to find that even flame, smoke and the way the splinters fly look the same."
