Idiot for the day



The BBC has an article by Amelia Butterly about yet-another dumb college kid:
A man has had to be rescued by firefighters in Germany after becoming stuck inside a stone vagina (photos). The man, said to be an American exchange student, got wedged in the statue at Tubingen University.
According to the German newspaper Schwäbisches Tagblatt, five emergency service vehicles and 22 firemen had to help free the man. They claim he climbed into the sculpture, by Peruvian artist Fernando de la Jara, as part of a dare.
Erick Guzman posted the pictures on photo-sharing website Imgur. "He just wanted to take a funny picture," said Guzman. "The fire department was not really amused, and he was really embarrassed."
The sculpture, called Pi-Chacan, was erected in front of the Institute of Microbiology and Virology at the university in 2001. Its name means "make love" in Peruvian Indian.
It is thought to weigh more than thirty tons, and is valued at more than 120,000 euros.
Rico says he never took dares, and avoided stupid things like this... (And if the fire department billed idiots like this for their services, these incidents would drop off dramatically.)
