A couple of videos by Terrence Popp

 I've always found Terrence Popp's videos to both entertaining and educational. First up is "Cows make delicious targets". Despite its comedic title, this one is a horror video. In it, Popp describes the horrors of war and he describes it in a way that successfully conveys the message that he wants to audience to understand and that message is of an environment that can only be described as hell itself. In fact, if Popp can successfully apply that message as I described it to a movie or video that would be fucking intense. It may lead to a lot of sleepless nights by guys who are lifelong civilians. Companies that make night lights would see a sharp rise in sales. I guess that is good for the economy.

 
 

Next up is "The feud from hell". Despite its horror story sounding title, it is actually a comedy and a very funny one at that. The way Popp masterfully tells this story is very entertaining. I have to say this video is the best comedy all around. If fact if Popp could successfully extrapolate this message to a movie or video it would be very funny. Even Porky's In The Principals Office funny.

Man tries to take out housefly takes out house instead

A man in Dordogne, France, accidentally blew up his own house while trying to remove a fly, local reports say.

Armed with an electric swatter, the man — who is in his 80s — chased the insect around his home, according to the local Sud Ouest newspaper.

What he didn't know at the time, though, was that there was a gas leak in his home. The reaction between the gas and the swatter caused an explosion that collapsed past of his ceiling, according to the report.

The man suffered a minor burn to his hand and his home is uninhabitable, Sud Ouest reported.

The fate of the housefly is unknown at this time.

Friday's blast wasn't the first time that an attempt to exterminate a tiny pest had led to bigger problems than it's worth.

Last year a man in Brazil tried to kill some cockroaches his backyard throwing matches in a hole that he had poured gasoline into. (It obviously wasn't the best strategy.)

The fly flew away unharmed. That is how it usually goes when it comes to irony. If he had a gas leak wouldn't he succumb to the fumes?
