Man, 33, fights off Taser police armed with toy LIGHTSABER

Okay, I am not sure if he managed to deflect the taser barbs or just use it to knock them off himself.  Pretty funny regardless.

Man arrested after climbing on wing of airplane at Las Vegas airport

He hits the runway hard.  So, do they have to reinspect the airplane after some nut was out there messing with things?  Or would they just fly on schedule once the man was peeled off the runway?

At the end of that video you saw two cops on the wing. I believe they got out there through the over-wing exit window, which has to be inspected and reinstalled by certified mechanics. The flight was scrubbed.

I don't know how that guy go onto the wing without blowing a slide.  Maybe the 737 has overwing exits that can be disarmed easily.

In hindsight, he may have wished he used a slide to come down off the wing.  That looked painful assuming he could feel it.

Meh.  He got what he deserved.

I didn't realize the size of those winglets, they are fairly big. They should have just shot him off IMO.

Why not just clear the pilot for takeoff?

Gravity is free and they were going to burn that fuel to take off anyway  >:D

They didn't want to deal with the FOD.
