I don't think I've laughed this hard in a very long time.

Hah! I like #2. metal ladder...

Quite funny.

I agree, #2 is great, though the sheer complexity/stupidity of #1 made me laugh out loud.

I don't think I fully understand what was happening in #8, what exactly where they doing with that?

One is definitely impressive, and I also really liked 7.

It is funny, but would be even better if it weren't for all the annoying popups.

And here I always thought it was because eventually they got tired of us.

LOVED number 8, actually, with number 1 being a close second.

I think #8 is them using two parts of the machinery to lift itself up onto the rail car instead of using a ramp to drive up.

Ummm... maybe?
I just like it.

Still don't really see it in 8....oh well.
2 is definitely my favorite, with 7 as a close second. power tools...

Hee hee.

I bet women do stupid things to. Men are only doing these because people trust them a little too much.

I don't quite understand 4. Was the missile too heavy?

I've seen most of those in my H&S lectures last year. Those were the good ones, by the end of the course every week he'd show us people actually dying and dead in the pictures.

Of course we do (and most of the time, men associate women doing stupid things with driving), but you have to admit that those are pretty idiotic acts. ;)

As for #4, I'm really REALLY not sure. It confounds me.

I liked the ingenuity of using two fork-lifts in tandom, more so the climbing digger though.

Those are so funny. Yet incredibly stupid. Some real ingenious in there too. Could anyone find ones similar to these.

#4 looks like the guy managed to drive the forklift carrying a bomb off the edge of the loading dock...

Am I the only one who sees all eight pictures as an ad for a game site?

Women do stupid things too. We don't find out because women own the Secret Conspiracy Of Evil Media Destroying Assassins. And they're good at covering their tracks

Of course women (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5JLRenT7Pg&mode=related&search=) do (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV9r0OFNgVk&mode=related&search=) stupid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82G7LTZsEfs&mode=related&search=) things (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWDpZ0El07Y&mode=related&search=)...

I apologize for the fact that those are all vehicle-related. I read the other posts and just searched "stupid woman driver" on YouTube, and these are the first four I came up with.

...no, I do, too...

...would someone be kind enough to link them here?

Unfortunately not. I guess this isn't the same as the Pretty Polly etc. "Dressed to kill" ads? Hold on I think I've found the ones you were referring to while looking for the Pretty Polly ads. http://www.funny-games.biz/pictures/womenlivelonger-pictures.html

Found the "dress to kill" photos. here (http://www.allowe.com/Humor/whymendieyounger.htm). No reference to Pretty Polly. Maybe they did the tv ad with a similar theme?

Yep, those are the ones.

Can I point out that in the first three of those, you can't see the driver at all, let alone their gender... And they all seem fairly faked/staged.

They're still funny. :P

Heh yeah... I'm just pointing out that they're just as likely men as women. Still awesome.

Well the third one they pull a woman out of the car, I'm assuming she's the driver. I've also seen plenty of things like the first one to easily call it staged; the rest of them do look staged though, I will agree with you there.

...while those incidents may be staged, I've seen good examples of all of them accidentally.

Come on, do those pictures mean that women live longer because men are stupid? I do not think that this is true, but it is a very interesting opinion... Anyway, men and women sometimes think completely in a different way. Isn't that true?

Psst...its a joke, we don't really think women live longer than men because of stupidity... :P

I believe the evidence shows that women live longer (on average) because of stress coping mechanisms more than anything else.

I agree. I have read that this is the reason women live longer on general average. (And I understood it was a joke. I just wanted to comment the pictures :-)

Oh, I thought it was something to do with mistaking the Number 14 bus to Birmingham for a mastodon and jumping on its back while wearing a bearskin that was depopulating the gene pool of males.

My mistake

< is male and thought the pictures were hilarious and all too believable

As it happens the forklift one is perfectly legal (H&Swise) apart from the guy on the truck in the air, that is how they load forklifts onto lorries, often as not.

Just remember, guys, it might hurt to admit that you made a mistake, but if you make mistakes like those, then the pain will only last for a moment... and after that, it's gentle everlasting sleep. :D

Number 1 was the coolest think I ever seen! :smallbiggrin: :smallcool: :smallsmile:
