What were they thinking???

I'm sure that I will never stop to be amazed by people. Or rather, by the boundlessness of human stupidity. Just to illustrate, here's a selection of newsclippings that I came across this weekend alone:

First, there's the Dutch couple who paid 10000 rupees for four samosa's... worth 10 rupees.

Although, I must say, I was rather dissapointed by the Dutchness of the people. To ask for their money back...tsssk.

Then there's the dutch guys who had their van so stacked full of cannabis, that they left a scent trail for the police...

And they didn't even run for it.

Now, I'm sure we've all stepped into busses or trains, where you stood next to a person who literally took your breath away... through the cloud of perfume or aftershave they were exhuming. But I'd never actually heard of anyone who took his own breath away by overdosing on smellie. Until this week, that is:

I think this kid should be considered for a Darwin Award. Talking about which: this guy needs to keep practicing a bit longer:

Can't you just imagine the thought process: 'awwww... how cute... I could just cuddle that wild and therefore extremely dangerous big panda bear... I think I'll just climb over this very high fence and hug it...' I'm looking forward to the man's next trick.

But this one takes the cherry:

In my opinion, the stupidity started by making the nude photos in the first place...
