Comment preview: His tactical use of the cleats certainly helped him out, as he finished his career with [897 stolen bases](http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cobbty01.shtml), and led the league for six of his 24 seasons playing. He places 4th all time. His less t ....


Comment preview: Not just third degree burns, but the old woman's *labia actually fused to her inner thigh* in the infamous coffee incident. That coffee was estimated to be 210 degrees (f). She was disfigured, scarred, and buried in thousands in medical bills because someo ....


Comment preview: Unfortunately this is a lot more common than people realize. There was a VERY infamous incident a year or two ago with a FM player. His performance ratings at tournaments would randomly skyrocket which raised suspicion of cheating. He was winning money in ....


Comment preview: > Sorry, but my child's safety is more important than anyone's hurt feelings. If your kid were a trans girl you'd be saying the same thing towards bigots like yourself. No trans girl should need to risk her safety by being forced to use the men's room. ....


Comment preview: It's quite an infamous case in the UK. Probably one of the murder cases people can name off by hand in a country that has a morbid fascination with murder. The two boys in that video have been out of prison for the original charge for quite some time, and ....


Comment preview: > This is not Mr Grech s first brush with the law. In 2002 he was convicted of possessing and distributing child pornography. He was handed a suspended sentence after the courts heard that he had been under psychiatric care long before the incident. Wtf ....


Comment preview: Gonna copy and paste my post from last time this topic came up. It's quite an infamous case in the UK. Probably one of the murder cases people can name off by hand in a country that has a morbid fascination with murder. The two boys in that video have been ....


Comment preview: 75 years later, the Rape of Nanking and other unresolved WWII-era issues still play a tremendous role in Sino-Japanese relations. As recently as last summer, for example, violent riots broke out across China in response to the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands disput ....


Comment preview: I'm Tanzanian and this situation could turn into a cluster-fuck at home. There's a "citizens' vigilante phenomenon" which is fucking pathetic. If a person is chased by a good number of people who are calling "thief", they actually attract more people to gi ....


Comment preview: I can't recall an incident like that, but I may be forgetting. Some people thought Farrah Fawcett was on something when she had her infamous appearance. I actually have no idea because she arrived late -- after the show started -- so everything you saw, ....


Comment preview: My father died choking on a pretzel many years ago, before the infamous Bush pretzel incident, if anyone's old enough to remember that. I loved pretzels at the time, ate them every day. Couldn't touch them for about a year after his death, and then sudde ....


Comment preview: It's also notable that Sam and Gilly are headed towards the Night Fort, as it's the setting of the most infamous violation of Guest Right. A cook at the Night Fort murdered a prince, put him in a pie, and served it to the King. The King complimented him on ....


Comment preview: I used to be an assistant manager of a nightclub saw a few. Seen a blow job occur right in front of the bar. Multiple fingering incidents including one now infamously referred to by security staff as "the fingerblasting night" Had a few guys just throw up ....


Comment preview: I'm already finding [their thread on the topic](http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/21iwsq/a_queens_student_involved_in_the_opposition_to_a/) to be hilarious and delusional given their response to what happened during that infamous Farrell lecture. ....


Comment preview: This question is asked on behalf of /u/gingerkid1234 who is travelling: Dr. McPherson, I'm really appreciative and honored you could answer questions for us. As someone whose main interest is Jewish history, I'm curious about the experience of the Jewish c ....


Comment preview: I don't remember the exact rule, or even the game, but I do remember the incident. One person who was infamous for saying "You never explained that rule!" at convenient times was in the game. So, there was a rule that I knew wsa one that would likely come ....


Comment preview: Here you have the very exact point of the accident, some other day, with some other train (probably the same model), just passing by VERY slowly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvvvL3OTtXk If the video doesn't start, you should change quality to 480 px. G ....


Comment preview: [There are quite a few here,](http://listverse.com/2014/07/20/10-striking-images-that-foreshadow-tragedy/) but the [Omagh photo](http://i.imgur.com/YXCT5ke.jpg) is the creepiest to me. From the article: >On August 15, 1998, a car bombing took place in O ....


Comment preview: NA fan here. I personally think it's very clear that this bug (assumption: this is indeed unintended) lost FNC the game. The nexus was literally one hit from death and ~~without homeguard's heal, Soaz probably could have just *killed* Khazix, leaving Ryz ....


Comment preview: Damn, I wonder what the payout for that little outburst cost him. edit: Wow! Apparently nothing... > The most infamous incident involved Apollo 11 crew member Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon. According to Aldrin, he was lured to a Bever ....


Comment preview: So College Dropout and Late Registration are pretty much pure Kanye West. They are what got him so many fans. Graduation is Kanye at his most fun (and radio-friendly). 808s and Hearbreak are after Kanye's mother's death and his bad breakup. People were ....


Comment preview: No one got millions of dollars for spilling boiling hot coffee in their lap. The McDonalds analogy is a) overused and b) misunderstood. No. 1: For years, McDonald's had known they had a problem with the way they make their coffee - that their coffee was s ....


Comment preview: Ozzy Osbourne's infamous bat-biting incident happened completely by accident - he saw what he thought was a fake bat that had been thrown onstage, took a bite, and...well...here's the story in his own words: >The gig was going great. The God-like hand w ....

Comment preview: I can share my change room stories. We of course had the occasional nipple twists and whatnots, but this one guy was absolutely crazy. One time, after practice, when he was the last one in the showers he yelled loudly: "Helicoptering is difficult with a bo ....
