StupidiNews! Potpourri Stupidity

Short bits of stupidity from all over.

BEAVER, Pa. (AP) — Police say two teenage girls who fell asleep while sunbathing on a rural Pennsylvania road have been struck by a car. The Beaver County Police Department tells WTAE-TV (http://bit.ly/KoTXi9 ) that 13-year-olds Samantha Schermanhorn and Kaylie George were hit by the vehicle Sunday afternoon. Two of Samantha's cousins tell the station that their 19-year-old brother had stopped at a stop sign and made a turn before striking the girls with his car.

Jesus take the wheel.  But even He wouldn't likely think someone would be so stupid as to fall asleep in the middle of the road.

A 21-year-old woman stopped a deranged father who was slashing his son's arms in a San Diego cemetery, U-T San Diego reports.

Jaymisha Pires was visiting the Mount Hope Cemetery on Saturday afternoon with a friend when they spotted the man with three young children. He began slashing his 8-year-old son, saying, "We're going to Jesus."

The man, identified as Joseph Ramirez, 30, of San Diego, pushed his son aside and fled, but was tackled by a 60-year-old security guard. Pires' friend wrapped a T-shirt around the boy's bleeding arms before he was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Finally, we caught one before it happened.  I hope Mr. Ramirez gets the help he needs, but thank goodness his son was spared.

The New York mother who was fired after she donated her kidney to save her boss's life demanded that the woman return the organ. "You hate me so much, and I'm so despicable -- give me my kidney back!" wailed 47-year-old Debbie Stevens, of Long Island.

Her employer at Atlantic Automotive Group, Jackie Brucia, also 47, thanked Stevens for the gift Monday -- and then "wished her the best."

This is problematic because Stevens didn't actually give Brucia her own kidney, but donated one so that Brucia would be bumped up faster, which worked.  She blames Brucia for taking advantage of her, but I have to say that if you let yourself go to such extreme lengths, you can't really cry foul later.  Stevens donated a kidney to a man in Missouri.  Brucia's kidney was the gift of another donor.  While Stevens got the shaft, there is no kidney-swapping way to make this right.
