🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD

Except in this case you've got 37 magnetic balls sticking together. That clump of bucky balls isn't coming out.
Sure. If they ate them all. I was thinking one or two.

SOMERSET, Pa. (AP) — Police say a man who set up a drunken-driving checkpoint complete with road flares while pretending to be a Pennsylvania state trooper was drunk.

Why was there never a House episode of that?

The result of this mistake did happen in a vacuum though

gee, aren't we fortunate we don't have thirteen fingers on each hand? And if we did, would thirteen still be an unlucky number?
Well, that's probably less good fortune than just that 13 digits on each limb has got to be fairly unwieldy, I think realistically only single figures - and maybe not even the top of that range - are going to be possibilities that aren't selected against.
Why was there never a House episode of that?
They'd show up on an x-ray. At best it might puzzle a doctor, until they were removed, over exactly what they were and how the kid appears to have shotgun pellets in them with no external wounds, but it would be fairly obvious what foreign body in abdomen plus symptoms of septicaemia means.

To easy to solve. It would never even show up on House's radar.
Not like that episode with the guy who swallowed a toothpick.

I'd say tipping it over on a guy like that counts as a good idea.

It's the initial act that's the bad idea. We all enjoy a danger wank from time to time but that was just dumb.

All I need from that story is the URL. What's interesting, though, is that people got mad and retaliated in a city where the motto is 'Keep Portland weird'
-
I'm guessing the homeless dudes weren't terribly influential in that choice of motto.
-
It's too bad, since they're almost certainly saner than the ones who think that's a good motto.

4chan's latest prank

In many ways, I'm glad imgur is blocked at work. Anyone want to summarize?

I'll admit, though, that 'Your whole feature is a bug' isn't really a good bug. They said to put it somewhere else.

“Physically, he’s fine but he had a crappy day,” Portland Police spokesman Willie Halliburton told KATU.

The bugrep was closed as "moved to what we say is the appropriate place to discuss this", which doesn't seem quite so bad.

Another bad idea, linked from that one:
http://gawker.com/hall-oates-fan-dances-on-cop-car-to-fight-off-woman-1709280072In April, a concerned Florida man pulled into the driveway of sheriff’s deputy, climbed on top of the officer’s SUV, and danced for five minutes to to “Rich Girl” by Hall & Oates and “Goodbye Stranger” by Supertramp. Once arrested, the Smoking Gun reports that the suspect, Christian Radecki, told police that he was looking for the “Sheriff of Nottingham” to help him fight off a “woman with fangs” and other vampires who were looking to slaughter small children.

If I deliberately do something, and someone comes and smugly tells me "hey, you accidentally did something", I'll rightfully tell them to fuck off.

Bad idea: letting Michael Bay direct an episode of your cartoon.
-
More J.J. Abrams than Michael Bay. I could even see an argument for Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, what with the weird DJ-car-invention-thing.

That seems like the best resolution tag for "the reporter moved the discussion to a better forum for discussing this kind of thing"...

That's it! You are to return your 4chan feed where you found it right this instance. And then go and wash your hands.

Bad idea: being "too loud" while having sex--and doing some other things--after having gotten a court order against you. Apparently that's worth two weeks in jail.

Reminds me of an old roommate's then-girlfriend.
The judge indicated that Miss Wale lived in a property owned by Birmingham council
Because of course she does. <now which denizen will white knight the oppressed welfare recipient?

Not entirely sure if this fits here as it's more seeming to misunderstand an idea than the idea itself being bad.
From an article about someone doing head transplants on mice and working on moving to monkeys.
Still, head transplantation could open up life-changing possibilities for people with severe disabilities or who have experienced extreme trauma. For example, paralyzed or quadriplegic patients with all their mental faculties could regain all of their physical movement if their heads were transplanted onto healthy bodies. **And comatose patients who have been pronounced brain dead but whose bodies are unimpaired could wake up and walk again if they received a functioning new head.**
I don't think the author properly understands what transplanting a new head would mean.

Larry Niven wrote at least one book that sort of addressed this: a guy is cryogenically frozen because he's got an incurable disease. He wakes up a couple hundred years later in a new body. It transpires that the State (that's what it seems to be called; it's fairly authoritarian) seems to consider a person the body. He was convicted of a crime--that is, the original personality inhabiting the body--and the sentence was death. But the State is not wasteful, so in such cases it thaws out a corpsicle and transplants the brain (or maybe just the memories, I don't remember.)

This is from the Dutch movie, The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence).
Larry Niven wrote at least one book that sort of addressed this:
It's addressed again in a later book, in a different way. Beowulf Shaeffer is shot mortally during a fight with Feather Filip. His wife, Sharrol, after killing Feather, and to save his life, cuts off his head and places it into Carlos Wu's (ultra-high-powered) autodoc. The autodoc rebuilds him; but much shorter because Carlos was only 5'10" which causes him some interesting problems (he was originally 6'11"). The story was originally in a short from 1994 called Procrustes. Later, I think he did an expanded novel or a sequel but, sorry, I can't find it.

I believe there's an omnibus of the Beowulf stories but I never read it. That one's a new one on me.
I'm not sure it makes sense in-universe for an autodoc to work that way, but Niven is known to have deliberately put inconsistencies in his Known Universe stories.
