What happened reminds me of the nature shows, when the animal of low intelligence decides to take a dip in the river, only to be eaten by a hungry croc. Those genes will not get passed on. In Jennifer's case, they already did. But it stops there.bmahfoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583929643384610316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26611163.post-41300434804259216272007-01-19T13:55:00.000-05:002007-01-19T13:55:00.000-05:00Sheer stupidity.

Idiots, I too hope everyone at this station finds a warm safe place tucked tightly inside a padded room for this. Unreal. And very neglectful. And very very sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26611163.post-87951506067517946762007-01-19T12:15:00.000-05:002007-01-19T12:15:00.000-05:00Actually, no the contestants could not hear the ca...Actually, no the contestants could not hear the callers and therefore did not hear the folks who called in with warnings. <br /><br />This is pretty common in radio--keeping contestants away from outside contact.

This women gave up her life, for an electronic gizmo which helps you waste time! <br /><br />And that nobody understood that drinking too much water is dangerous, highlights the fact that people should be paying much more attention in their science classes. It really does provide you with knowledge helpful in all aspects of life.<br /><br />Here's to natural selection. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282045026892204345noreply@blogger.com
