Ran across this while searching for some HPDC info. The 'pouncing' 930 http://dorkiphus.net/porsche/showpos...7&postcount=52

If you know anyone interested in the HPDC, please get them in contact with the Registrar ASAP!

Not a lost art, just bred out of the gene pool by Darwinism at an early age. Good riddance to that kid's virility I hope. Oh and if I were on the jury, the teacher didn't plug in the cord, therefore he's innocent.

Note the following statement in the article: "The New Hampshire Union Leader says Dubois' suit contends he suffered permanent brain damage"

I think the facts that he connected his nipples to an electrical power source proves conclusively that he was brain damaged BEFORE the incident.

And I don't believe in warning people about obvious dangers - we have a word for these - evolution.

I wonder if the teacher was even around when this happened.

By the way Kyle is the one that the other kids got to lick the flag pole at 0 degrees. And he did it everytime.

Truly Darwin award worthy.

Why is it that the press feels it has an OBLIGATION to reveal things like this. I loved guessing (of course, 100% wrong) about the identity of the Stig. It's like when they revealed the location of the $500 Million (taxpayer dollars) underground bunker at The Greenbriar. Fail for HarperCollins.
