I want to win the lotto, doesn't mean it will happen even if I play.

At least you don't get laughed at for saying so.

That's not unusual.

Though admittedly it's usually with a drone strike rather than in person.

The video is tagged as 'disturbing' - but it's also slightly hilarious.

Abit late I'll admit, but I really thought this was a joke. And then I watched the video expecting some obvious editing trickery and got....none of that.


Not sure whats more disturbing, actually seeing that happen (which is definitely unsettling) or the fact not only was this recorded but there even appears to be other animals gathering to watch

Something else BTFII got wrong about 2015.

Greek player stretchered from pitch...

EDIT: It seems from @Barra333's comment that the BBC clip is UK-only... here's a worldwide link he found at The Guardian...

That is one of the funniest things I have seen on a football pitch.

Here is an article for the people outside the UK.

Nice to see Stan & Ollie getting some work even in 2015.

To me. To you.

That was funny, but it's not Boris.

Hunter shoots one moose, accidently wounds another. Only to find out the moose were in a zoo.

Just assume that EVERY video on BBC is UK only. Even the ones of random things that have no reason to be geo-restricted.

It's San Francisco, what did you expect?

As a side note, it seems he has completely defeated the purpose of school elections, which is to teach kids about democracy.

Bastian Schweinsteiger to sue over "Nazi dolls" made in his image with his name

... A Nazi doll costing 120 bucks? And of course it's made in China. Good grief. I feel sorry for Bastian now.

How common is that name in Germany anyway?
I thought it could be Mieke... {Road Eurotrip reference... y'know, Germany, Man United...}

Bachelor-ette? I didn't even realise the word had been feminised! I'll add that to my list of words-I-hate. My sister's a bachelor and I'm pretty sure she'd knife anyone who tried to add "-ette"...

Democrats are starting a campaign to restrict animals from firearms ownership or at the very least, mandatory training and background checks, due to the alarming increase in humans shot by dogs.

Whatever happened to the right to arm bears?

China are ready with their 13th 5-year plan. They've made a special video to explain it. And taken some drugs.

Yup, it's a thing now, designer vaginas. Thought it was a little fishy at first, but looks legit.

B'dum ewwww.

Been around quite a long time actually, not had any personal dealings with it but I remember Richard and Judy handling the matter many years ago. Your joke was better though

I clicked the link and immediately got a pop-up ad featuring all the candidates for the GOP nomination.
