New Level of Stupidity

Ok, now really, how stupid can people get?

Failed attempt to copy 'Jackass'

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) - Attempts to duplicate a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing criminal charges.

The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the "Jackass" movies, in which a character lights his genitals on fire. Jared Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and genitals, according to the criminal complaint.

Randell Peterson, 43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court.

Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said.

After Peterson ignited Anderson, he ran into the bathroom, jumped into the tub and put the flames out, according to the complaint. He was taken to hospital and treated for second-degree burns.

Anderson told police that he didn't want anyone to get in trouble because of the stunt.
Peterson was freed on a US$2,000 bond. He has a hearing scheduled April 16. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

Songs Rediscovered

I Can Onyl Imagine - Mercy Me

I can only imagine
what it will be like,
when I walk by Your side...
I can only imagine,
what my eyes will see,
when Your Face is before me!

I can only imagine. I can only imagine.

Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

I can only imagine,
when that day comes,
when I find myself standing in the Son!
I can only imagine,
when all I will do,
is forever, forever worship You!

I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

I can only imagine,
when all I do is forever,
forever worship You!

I can only imagine . . .


I know this song isn't that old, but I haven't heard it for a long time. I especially love the last four lines. It's very rare that a song moves me to tears, and even rarer when it's in English (probably because I'm emotionally dead). But still, a really good song.
