Boba Rhett Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 And it's a doosy... [align=center]Seven dead at kite-flying festival[/align] No, I'm not ****ting you. Read on, "SEVEN people were killed and more than 100 injured in Pakistan during the annual kite flying festival marking the arrival of spring, officials said today. An 18-month-old girl's throat was cut by a stray kite string while she was travelling with her parents on a motorbike, witnesses said, adding that she died on the spot. Three people were electrocuted when metal wires they were using to fly or catch stray kites fell on live electric lines, and two people fell from roofs, hospital officials said. A 12-year-old boy died while trying to catch a stray kite when he was hit by a car on a main road, police said. More than 100 people had been reported injured since last night in various kite-related accidents, medical workers said. " _______________________________________________ Linkamabob The kites.... they're attacking. ALL OUR BASE ARE BELONG TO KITES, PEOPLE! MAKE YOUR PEACE! I personally welcome our new stringed overlords and offer my services in rounding up workers.

RoxStar Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 What the heck? That is just....weird...and scary.
Neverhoodian Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Dang...that's sad. Who would think something as supposedly peaceful as flying kites would cause so much pain and suffering? W...T...F
Astrotoy7 Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 terrible.... my condolences to the families of those affected.... gosh, it'd make you think twice about buying a kite for your younger son/daughter, brother/sister etc...... MTFBWYA

Jedi Luke Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Holy $#!+!!!! That is a WTF of the week! Damn, that is a pretty bad way to die.
topshot Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 First, my brain goes crazy, and now it's kites that are killing innocent people. There's a conspiracy at work, here.......
Datheus Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 We should ban kites. They're obviously a weapon of terror.
El Sitherino Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Originally posted by Datheus We should ban kites. They're obviously a weapon of terror. LMAO! sounds like something people would say This is really disturbing. :\ and they say playing with sticks is dangerous!
obi Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 I can see the headlines now..... "President Bush orders an assault on a local park today because it is believed there are kites of mass destruction there."
wassup Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Who needs million-dollar F-16 fighters and B-2 bombers or nuclear warheads when you got the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. "And now to news in Iraq. Today 15 F-16 Air Force pilots were systematically shot down by rebels wielding yet another one of their low-tech weapons...uh...kites. Um, Bob, is this a typo?"
Jared Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 I have told you over and over again rhett, the kites have been planning their attack for years now. this is only the beginning. there is no hope for us now. every man for himself!!!!!!! *crickets chirp in backround* ...what, i'm dead serious. stop staring!!!!
Chewbacco Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 You don't hear this stuff every day you know. It is just bizaar how people died on those days. Life is fragile.
Pnut_Man Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Indeed, wtf0x0rz :/ What in the hell goes through your mind after witnessing crap like that? Freaky...
Darth Groovy Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 You are crossing into a dimmension of site and sound, where strings and wind are the demons who control. Next stop, up ahead in the WTF Zone. (this is my 6666th post, go me! )

BongoBob Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 What? HOW COULD MY PLANS BE DISCOVERED!?! I did think he was bull****ting us. I feel sorry for them, but you have to admit that it's pretty damn funny. Wheel of morality, turn turn turn, tell us the lesson that we shall learn. And the moral of the story is... When trying to light a fish on fire underwater, always remember the futon. ... Actually, the real moral here is, never go outside
