That's absolutely horrible. Karma... I feel just karma would be if the bicyclist was uninjured and this asshole of a human had his genitalia removed via road rash. This reminds me of those young pieces of shite that threw rocks off an overpass and killed a person. They were out for blood, and they got it, and their defence "it was a prank". I think laws need to be changed for pieces of excrement are tried as adults. Oh, and they should be sterilized too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people would stick their dirty clothes on a geyser with some soap. When the geyser would erupt it would steam clean the laundry in a most efficient manner. You couldn't do it with woolen clothes for obvious reasons but it apparently worked well with other fabrics. The soap had a cumulative negative effect on the water in the geysers - people also tossed all sorts of detritus in them as a form of wishing well - some geysers even got clogged up. Some of the park personnel specialize in cleaning crap out of the geysers since people still throw odds and ends in them. Kind of a prickly task since the water is so hot.

I have wondered why there is a fixation with beheading with so many of the modern day terrorists. Pretty barbaric IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in France for a long time. It was sometimes used in medieval England. Those being executed* would often leave money with a friend to give the executioner if he didn't botch the job. Some of the victims would be hacked several times before dying. The Nazis used it quite a bit with the refinement that they would often put the victim in face up. The Japanese military often did it to prisoners of war for various reasons - one of which as part of ritual cannibalism. *That method of execution was generally reserved for nobility.

From my perspective, the laws need to change if terrorists who want to kill and maim are allowed to walk free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my question. It was pretty well tucked away, but something like this really wreaks of something some artist would do within the last 10-15 years.
