Duel to the Death A medieval duel was never really a good idea,
even in the Middle Ages.
And yet a mother of four sent her lover off on a bus to participate in a medieval duel
with her ex-husband.
Her name is Asta Juškauskienė, 35 years old.
The duel was her idea, as she wanted to see which of her admirers would win her hand in
a fight to the death.
Well, it didn't really matter in the end because she has since been sentenced to spend the
rest of her life in jail.
Asta left her husband for a man she met online after he was released from a Lithuanian prison
on charges of sexual assault.
She ended her relationship with her husband to date this criminal, who happened to be
25 years younger than her husband.
But the husband wasn't just going to just let her walk away with another man.
Both men were adamant that she belonged to them, so she decided that they could settle
the argument in a fight to the death.
After all, this seems like the only logical solution to the problem, right?
The new boyfriend, named Mantas Kvedaras, stabbed the ex-husband 35 times across his
body and neck.
He then bought a pizza on his way home so that he and Asta could have a bit of a celebration.
A little slice of victory, if you will.
Obviously, nobody got away with this crime.
The police quickly found the murder weapon dumped in a garbage can, connected it to the
new boyfriend, and then got the whole story from Asta.
She was shocked when Judge Peter Lodder gave her life with a minimum of 24 years for orchestrating
the brutal murder.

A Bad Threesome An Indiana woman has been left locked in jail
after the police discovered a dead man and a tortured woman in her house.
According to the New York Daily News, Heidi Kathleen Carter had contacted her victims
through a dating application.
She convinced these two participants to come over to her house for a three-way.
Now, whatever you do in your own bedroom is your own business.
But let's just say for the record, that voluntarily going to a stranger’s house to engage in
adult activities with a small group of people that you've never met is probably a bad idea.
In the middle of the night’s activities, another man entered the house.
He became enraged and beat one of the victims to death with a baseball bat.
Then, Heidi pulled out a gun and helped the surprise guest, a man who had some vague relationship
with her, as he tortured the female victim.
How these people got captured is another bizarre part of the story.
A cleaning lady came to visit the house and sat on what she thought was a pile of clothes
and sheets.
But it was actually a beaten corpse.
She ran out of the house and flagged down a police officer.
When the officer entered the home, he found the male suspect brandishing a weapon.
The officer then shot and killed him, and the woman was taken into custody.

Fake Business Cards Mark Nye is a criminal who looks a whole lot
like the UFC fighter Conor McGregor.
I mean, the resemblance is uncanny.
Mark understood that he looked a little bit like the UFC legend, so he started producing
business cards entitled “McGregor Enterprise” and handing them out to his customers.
Who were his customers?
They were people who like to use drugs.
Mark was a drug dealer, and he foolishly made his very own business cards as a kind of front
for his operations.
Naturally, the police ended up getting ahold of his cards.
If you're selling illegal drugs and trying to stay away from the police, having hundreds
of business cards with your number on them is probably a bad idea, right?
The police were able to link the cards directly to the drug dealer, at which point they locked
him up for almost three years.
When they pulled him over in his car, they found hundreds of the business cards, as well
as a few mobile phones and a bunch of drugs.

Traveling Solo There's nothing wrong with being a solo traveler.
But if you're going to journey into the Montana mountains by yourself with no way of signaling
for help, you may be asking for trouble.
The police are still trying to find out what happened to Tatum Morell, the 23-year-old
woman who went hiking and was never seen again.
She set off by herself from the West Fork Trailhead near Red Lodge on July 2.
When she didn't reach out to anyone after several days, her family got a hold of the
police.
They sent canine search teams into the mountains to try and find her, but they came up empty.
By July 10, the police gave up, saying that she was probably already dead and that there
was really nothing they could do about it.
Sadly, this is just one of those dangers of mountain climbing by yourself.
Honestly, it's a bad idea and in this case it backfired.
Tatum was planning to climb over 5 mountain peaks in the area, with some of them over
12,000 feet (3,658m) tall.
But somewhere between the trailhead and the mountaintops, disaster struck and she was
lost forever.
Even all these months later, nobody really knows what happened to Tatum Morell in the
Montana wilderness.
Would you ever be brave enough to wander into the wilderness by yourself in an attempt to
climb over 5 mountain peaks?

The Voyage of the Satoshi The Satoshi was a very bad idea that went
horribly wrong.
Three cryptocurrency enthusiasts purchased a cruise ship as part of their dream to begin
a floating libertarian utopia.
But like any group of people who have ever tried to start a utopia, it was a complete
failure.
The idea was something called seasteading, which is basically when people live on a boat
out at sea without being part of any land-based nation.
This group wanted to build small communities that would be permanently based on sea platforms,
which would be out of reach of any international laws.
Eventually, they hoped there would be millions of people living in floating cities.
The first step was the voyage of the Satoshi.
Grant Romundt, Rudiger Koch, and Chad Elwartowski purchased the vessel in 2020 and planned to
anchor it off the coast of Panama.
Residents were to purchase their cabins using cryptocurrency.
In fact, everything was to be purchased using crypto, with the roughly 2000 people onboard
the ship living a life of peace and harmony.
But the plan fell through when the owners failed to secure insurance for the ship.
Nobody would agree to insure the ship as a floating city.
They ran out of money and were forced to sell the boat in 2021 to a cruise line start-up.
Like every single attempt in human history to create a utopia, this one failed – but
sadly, it failed even before it could be started.

Jaguar Selfie If you're visiting the Wildlife World Zoo
in Arizona, it's perfectly OK to take a selfie with any animal you find there.
Just be sure that when you take the selfie, you're standing on the proper side of the
barricade.
A woman, who has not been named for privacy reasons, had the bad idea to climb over a
barrier so that she could get closer to a female jaguar.
Her motivation behind this terrible decision - to take a selfie.
After all, the barrier was in her way of an awesome Instagram opportunity.
Well, she never did get that selfie that she wanted so badly.
When she got close enough to the jaguar’s cage, it reached its paw through the bars
and tried to kill her!
These are extremely powerful cats and should not be messed around with.
It grabbed a hold of her arm and nearly tore it off!
According to Adam Wilkerson, who was unfortunate enough to witness this brutal attack, he could
actually see its claws scraping into her flesh.
If it hadn't been for a group of good Samaritans who distracted the jaguar by throwing water
bottles through its cage, this woman probably would have wound up dead.
The witnesses managed to distract the cat long enough for her to get away from the cage
and back over the barrier.
She was then taken to the hospital and treated for the lacerations.
The woman made a full recovery and then went back to the zoo!
But don't worry, this time her visit was to apologize.
She admitted her wrongdoing and took full responsibility for her horrible decision-making
skills.

A Very Stupid Game A couple of teenagers with a really bad idea
recently ended up dead.
The deaths were purely by accident, but the accident was the result of an insane game
that the teens had decided to play.
According to the school resource officer who knew these kids, ages between 14 and 15, the
game involved scoring points.
It was basically real-life Grand Theft Auto.
The kids would steal a car and get the police to chase them.
Points were based on how many cops were in pursuit and whether or not they got away.
And apparently, these boys had played the game before.
One of them, the driver of the car, had an extensive record of auto theft.
Here's where the deaths come in.
It was Friday and the North St. Paul police spotted the same stolen car for the third
day in a row.
The previous two times, officers had chased the car but given up the pursuit because whoever
was driving had been too reckless.
This was all part of the teens’ game.
But on Friday, the chase got too out of hand.
The driver ended up crashing the car on someone’s lawn, completely totaling the vehicle.
The crash killed his two passengers.
All three of them were students at the North High School in North St. Paul.
They were what you might call bad apples.
Because of the situation surrounding the deaths of the teens, the one driving the car has
been charged with two counts of criminal vehicular homicide.
It's impossible to say where these kids came up with such a terrible idea.
They weren't doing it for money, but may have been inspired by video games.

Dangerous Fireworks Kristi Anema just about lost her right hand
in a terrifying example of fireworks gone wrong.
According to Krisi, she never expected this kind of thing would happen to her.
After all, you hear about accidents with fireworks all the time but never think you’ll be the
victim.
Well, Kristi became the victim on a Labor day weekend.
The mother of four was sitting around a bonfire with her family.
Somebody handed her a pre-loaded mortar firework.
Not thinking of the danger, she happily took the firework and aimed it up at the sky.
That was when her son leaned over and said, “Mom, this is a bad idea.”
But as always, mother knows best.
She told her son that it would be fine, and a fraction of a second later, the firework
malfunctioned and exploded in her hand like a pipe bomb!
This was not the type of fireworks injury that a person could laugh off.
It was serious, with paramedics needing to be called and Krisi needing to be rushed to
hospital.
It took her a minute to realize just how bad it was.
But when she looked down after a few seconds of being in shock, she saw that her fingers
were barely still on her hand.
She ended up getting 5 surgeries and nine months of therapy.
She now has four plates and cadaver bones in her hand.
She might get up to 80% functionality back, but then again, she might not.
And all because she had to go messing around with fireworks.

Arguing in the Street In California, a couple of guys got into a
minor accident on the I-80.
Regardless of whose fault it was, the crash wasn't that bad.
The Chevrolet Malibu and Dodge Durango blocked two lanes of traffic, with each car a little
busted up.
But this is 2021 after all, and everybody seems to be completely out of their minds.
The two men got out of their vehicles, stood in the middle of the street, and started fighting.
It didn't get physical, but they were standing in the middle of the road screaming at each
other while cars were speeding by.
Obviously, this is a bad idea.
But here comes the second bad idea.
A man driving a Mini Cooper saw the accident, did not slow down, and tried to swerve around
the collision.
In his rush to get wherever he was going, he ignored all the unwritten civil rules of
the road.
If there is a crash, slow down and be careful.
When he tried to maneuver around the accident, he drove over the two men who were arguing
in the street.
The guy in the Mini Cooper was driving so fast that he killed both of them.
According to the California Highway Patrol, they first received word of a verbal argument
in the street.
Less than one minute later, they were getting calls about a vehicle crash, two dead bodies,
and a banged-up Mini Cooper.

A Bad Rock Ken White was the passenger in a van that
was driving down the street in 2017.
From out of nowhere, a giant rock fell from an overpass directly above, smashed through
the windshield, and Ken was killed.
Ken did not do anything wrong.
Instead, it was five Michigan teenagers who were loitering on the overpass when one of
them got the bright idea to start throwing rocks at the cars driving beneath them.
At the time, the kids were all under 18.
They were just a bunch of hooligans not thinking about the consequences.
But in this case, there were serious consequences.
The ringleader of the teenagers, Kyle Anger, was tried as an adult and slapped with charges
of manslaughter.
He ended up being stuck in the court system until 2019.
That was when he finally pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
The judge handed down a sentence of 39 months in prison.
And all because he picked up a rock and threw it over a bridge.
If that's not a bad idea gone wrong, I don't know what is!
