That Time A Famous Explorer Bombed Dr. Doolittle


During the filming of Doctor Dolittle, a young SAS soldier and future famous explorer Ranulph Fiennes decided he didn't like all the noise and trouble they'd brought to his little village, so he took action by gathering up a bunch of explosives from one of his training exercises and blowing the film set's dam right the hell up. Cracked's Jordan Breeding and Fact Fiend's Karl Smallwood discuss all this and whether they're allowed to swear on the channel.

Revenge Of The Week: Fifty Employees Vs Greedy Business


What a ride. And that's what makes this the latest revenge of the week. We've got a greedy business owner blinded by a ravenous hunger for more money at the expense of hard-working employees, and then we've got the employees: a crew of 50-some people that come together and show the power of teamwork in the face of an unjust obstacle. Good stuff. 

Doctor Judges Guy For Being An Engineer, Gets Called Out


It sounds like this person's doctor friend was passing all kinds of judgement on a dude who was simply doing his very acceptable, if not commendable job as an engineer.

There's just something about people that are acting wrong that get called out for their antics, that results in them pulling the very unreasonable victim card.

Man Wanders Into Strange Town, Things Only Get Weirder


So, apparently this dude very well might've wandered on into a government training site. I can't imagine what kinds of thoughts would be racing through the stereotypical rational mind, if you were thrown into this kind of experience. Like, seeing the same dude working at various, eerily abandoned establishments? Yikes. It's honestly very strange that he stuck it out as long as he did. 

Wonderful and Absurd Knockoffs and Off Brands


There's a lot of good money to be made off of well-known brands, and people know it. The whole issue is all those pesky licensing fees and copyright claims. What is a shrewd business-person to do?

Anything is possible in the world ofridiculous knockoffs.

I mean, hey, it can happen to the very best and most aware of us.

Customer Doesn't Trust Tech Support Employee's Advice, Lives To Regret It Weeks Later


There are far too many irrational, impossibly entitled customers out there that insist on not accepting tech support employees' advice. It's like they call in to tech support just to pitch a fit, and take out some of the stress they've accumulated through their personal lives, on completely well meaning individuals in the realm of tech support. It's a whole toxic circus act, and hopefully less and less people go about participating in it. In this particular tech support tale, we get to read about a stubborn customer who proactively wastes his own time. Pretty good stuff. For another tech support tale, check out the time that an owner fired the IT guy, and then how the business was completely sabotaged afterwards
