Never underestimate your adversary

found on Animal Comedy

Don't worry about these two jail birds. There will be plenty to eat where they're going. Just make sure you make it harder for them to get back in because they were released.

Assault with a silent but deadly weapon

found on Dump A Day

Now I'm not saying you shouldn't be punished for launching a gas attack like some malodorous squid squirting out ink, but just that if you do toot, maybe don't make it look intentional

Attribution is hard

found on Izismile

If attribution of public privates is this difficult, just imagine how difficult attribution of cyber attacks is.

Never underestimate your adversary


Watch on YouTube

We usually don't consider cows to be clever, thinking creatures. It probably makes it easier for us to eat them if we don't. But it turns out they are smarter than you might expect, so if you have cows you better be prepared for that.

That's one way to take back your privacy

from here and here (source article)

Just the sound of "invading the privacy of dragons" (go ahead and say it out loud) gives me pause. What's worse is that it kinda sounds like the film crew were catfishing the dragons in order to steal their secrets. Not cool.

Everything has a weakness

found on Funny Junk

Everything has a weakness, the trick is to make that weakness difficult to exploit. I don't think they nailed it with this one.

If you're guilty and you know it, hold it in

found on Snopes

Sometimes it's important to not draw attention to yourself, to not make yourself into a target. At times like those it's best if you didn't recently eat a large helping of beans.

You know you're in a bad neighbourhood when...

found on Smiles TV

I guess it's true what they say about there being no honour among thieves.

When hunting bugs is more useful than hunting mice

found on Weird Facts

That pair of cats definitely earned their keep that day. I wonder how the Russians felt about their plans being foiled by felines.

Tweeting from behind the curtain

found on Imgur

Every time I see someone playing hide and seek, they're terrible at hiding. They're either behind a curtain with their feet sticking out the bottom, or they've stuck their head (and only their head) under a couch cushion, or something equally inane.

I like to think the Burlington Police had the same experience with Chris.

Low profile fail

found on Ebaum's World

If you're going to commit a crime, you usually don't want to draw attention to yourself, especially for shoplifting

Oh... It was a bum threat

found on Funny Memes

It used to only be airports where you couldn't make jokes about bombs, but now it seems bathrooms are also on the no-joke list. I guess you should stay home if you're going to be dropping depth charges.

Expect a patrol man

found on Funny Junk

I don't know who wrote the above reaction tweet, but it is kind of fun to imagine the Harry Potter star fighting evil doers. Of course the actual article makes it clear he helped the victim after the perpetrators were already gone, so it's not quite as bad-ass as it sounds, but he's still a good samaritan for stopping to help.

Anything you post can and will be used against you in a court of law

found on Bad Chix

On the one hand it seems like the whole Miranda Warning needs to be updated to account for our modern era, but on the other hand it might stop otherwise dumb criminals from giving themselves away.

You can ask but that doesn't mean you get

found on Izismile

The first step in remaining anonymous is not telling your name to people who don't appear to understand what anonymous means.

Anything can be a weapon if you hold it right

found on Imgur

This might not be real, but when it comes to Florida Man, anything is possible.

I wonder what a Nigerian prince can turn into

found on Ha Ha Humor

If this is the kind of people Nigerian cyber-criminals deal with on a day to day basis, it goes a long way to explaining why their scams appear so dumb.
