Mexicans don't fly in planes.

Not even on the same level as the Arctic conspiracy theorist.

This thread is like giving yourself a papercut while the other one is like sticking your head in the chipper shredder.

It takes what, like 5 seconds to check the dictionary before posting something that could make you look stupid?

You know, I used to think that the American media were being sensational when they proclaimed the failure of "No Child Left Behind". I thought they were just trying to instill a sense of doom in the public education system.

I stand corrected. OP did get left behind.

To the OP's credit, it is a misleading term these days with the way the media likes to throw it around with glee like people actually died. I had to figure out that casualty =/ dead a couple years ago when i was in college writing some paper, so give the guy some slack.

It took you until you were in college to figure out casualties and fatalities aren't the same?

Another.......fail!

5 years dead...in a house:p

saw that earlier tonight.

She hasn't been seen by her neighbors in 5 years.

Of course, you realize, this doesn't absolutely mean she has been dead for 5 years.

still creepy though, any way you look at it, what with the daughter and all.


...It's almost like William Faulkner showed up and shoved this story in our faces.

I've seen a lot of people do the same thing as the OP and misuse the word to mean dead, instead of dead + wounded. The level of self pwnage here is not really all that epic.

*SLAP* to the back of the OP's head. Now everyone move along, nothing to see here!

Misuse is one thing but this is what made it self ownage.:
Still a misleading term

*shrug* I've seen much worse in terms of misunderstanding a words meaning. You guys fail more than the OP if this is what you consider grand in terms of self-ownage. Must have been a slow week in terms of putting people down on here, some of you are out for blood before March rolls around.

lol I'd love to see someone fall for this on here, but it's too obvious when spelled out instead of spoken.
