Fort A.P. Hill, Va. -- Four adult scout leaders from Alaska were killed Monday afternoon in an electrical accident that occurred as they were setting up camp at the Boy Scout Jamboree, a gathering of thousands of scouts and leaders from throughout the world, officials said.

One person with knowledge of the jamboree operations, who spoke on condition of anonymity because an investigation is under way, said a pole intended as a support for a tent had come into contact with an overhead powet line.

BOWLING GREEN, Va. – The Boy Scouts marched onto the field singing, plopping down in the grass to wait for President Bush. But hours later, the news that Bush couldn't make it was drowned out by sirens and shouts as hundreds fell ill because of the blistering heat.
About 300 people, most of them Scouts, suffered from dehydration, fatigue and lightheadedness Wednesday – just days after four Scout leaders were killed at the national Jamboree while pitching a tent beneath a powet line.

That's horrible.

It was pretty stupid of them to sit out in the heat for hours to wait for Bush.

[Faye Valentine]

is this supposed to be funny?

[Wickedly Yours E]

I guess, but D's definition of humor is, I guess, Equivalent to pushing a guy in awheelchair down a flight of stairs.

[MegatronYES]

Heh heh heh heh.    

Wheelchair.

[Fiero]

I'm an Eagle Scout, and any idiot scout leader that would let one of his boys get that dehydrated should be shot with the rifle he tought his scouts with.

Really? I would say something.

Stuff like this didn't happen before those Save Our Scouts freaks started clogging up mailboxes begging for money.  :unsure:

As soon as there's a fund for it, they start dying . . .damn.

[B E C K]

Ha ha, lightning.  Goddamn....

That's horrible.

Yeah, really.  If you're gonna risk death, it should at least be for someone cool, like a rock band or something.  

[ChelseySuzie]

No crap, I'd stand out in 100 degree weather to see The Rolling Stones or Louis XIV or some other awesome band.

I guess, but D's definition of humor is, I guess, Equivalent to pushing a guy in awheelchair down a flight of stairs.

do you have stairs in your house?

[Rama]

Yeah, really.  If you're gonna risk death, it should at least be for someone cool, like a rock band or something.

Yeah....like Gallagher, or Gallagher 2 even.

I laughed at this.

[Derrick]

What about mini Gallagher? Is he too short?

[ChelseySuzie]

[Bernie]

Too funny, Chels - the next producer who sends me a retarded e-mail is so getting bunny-slapped with that.

Lightning Kills Boy Scout, Injures 3 at Camp in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 3 -- A bolt of lightning killed a 15-year-old Boy Scout and injured three others while they slept in a log shelter during a violent storm late Tuesday.

"There was a big flash and a big boom," said Stephen Morris, a trauma surgeon at the University of Utah's burn unit who was with the troop. "Somebody came running down the trails saying, 'Help, we need help.' " Morris said he tried for 90 minutes to revive the boy, who had no heartbeat.

I'm not sure why it's marked for Tomorrow but I guess that means it's going to be in Tomorrow's newspaper.

Damn, this is the third time scouts have died from electrictiy in the past 2 weeks.

 

[Wickedly Yours E]

o_o are these God's wrath?

[Derrick]

I know what it is. The metal broaches that go with the hankerchiefs. They are lighting magnets. It just rips the lightning out of the sky....






...and into boyscouts. We need to ban these things, people.

Woah...this is heavy Doc.

Don't start with that.

I'd go back and stop myself from posting it, but I might encounter my past self. The consequences of that could be disastrous. The encounter could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum and destroy the entire universe. Granted, that's a worst case scenario, the destruction may in fact be very localized, limited to our own galaxy.

Whatever, I've only used it to parody Back to the Future, otherwise I just call it horse shit.
