Does this qualify as child abuse? Today’s funny animated GIF [Image]

Being an American from a distinctly non-American heritage, I have the advantage of seeing life from the viewpoints of two cultures. In particular, I find it interesting how different cultures view child abuse.

In the United States, a parent can potentially be thrown in jail if found guilty of child [...]

This poor kid is probably scarred for life after being hit with a basketball like this [Image]

Although I am the stereotypical geek now (who just happens to love playing cricket), in a previous life (aka when I was a child) I used to be very active playing a variety of sports. One of my favorite sports was basketball. Even though I was never very good at [...]

Cat vs crocodile — which do you think would win? [Image]

I am sure many dotTechies have cats as pets (presumably the domesticated ones, not the wild ones). If your cat was ever put against a crocodile in a tit-for-tat battle of the wits, teeth, and claws, who do you think would come out on top? Your cat or the crocodile? [...]

“Hey guys watch my sweet trick!” — funny animated GIF of the day [Image]

When it goes to physically potentially dangerous stuff, as I have admitted before, I am a bit of a panzy. For example, roller coasts scare the shit out of me. So it is safe to say I have not, and never will, skateboard (besides, I do not know how anyway). [...]

Who needs a school bus: kid hitches ride to school by holding onto back of speeding dump truck [Image]

Kids do crazy things. Fortunately I was (am) one of the cooler headed ones (read: panzy) and never did anything really that insane during my childhood. I cannot say the same for the kid in the following image. I am not sure where he is going (presumably school due to [...]

Wow, talk about a human jumbotron screen [Image]

I am sure anyone that follows global politics in the least has heard of the ridiculous things they do in North Korea when the government decides it is time to celebrate (despite much of the country being in poverty). However, it looks like that whole peninsula is filled with… talented… [...]

“How to park a SUV” — today’s hilarious animated GIF [Image]

I may be wrong but I am guessing most dotTechies are above the age of eighteen and, as such, drive cars. Let’s have it: raise your hand if you are terrible at parking? I know I am, although I would like to think I am improving (at least that is [...]

“How to use a floor buffer” — today’s hilarious animated GIF [Image]

You ever see a janitor or cleaning person or someone with a similar job use a floor buffer, also known as a floor cleaner or floor polisher? They typically use it very calmly and slowly (and, for some reason, always while listening to music, podcasts, or whatever else you can [...]

LMAO! This guy is clearly not fit for a career in boxing [Image]

Ever hurt yourself by accident? I am not talking about dropping something on your big toe. Rather, I am referring to things like accidentally biting down on your tongue, kicking your leg while walking, and… punching yourself in the face. If you have done the latter than you probably know [...]
