This is because cow tipping is only fun the first time. :lulz:
Seriously though, there is nothing much to do in the country. So you tend to make up shit to do and if it isn't dangerous or stupid then nobody wants to either participate or watch soooo.....
Famous last words, "Y'all watch THIS! Here, hold my beer..."
:lulz: This reminds me of a rattlesnake bite statistic I read years ago; apparently over 99% of rattlesnake bites happen when the subject is inebriated and teasing the snake.

I think they get bitten fairly frequently, but there's so few of them it pales in comparison to the unlimited number of idiotic young drunk men trying to impress their buddies by poking a rattlesnake with a stick.

hell, we have a shrine to it annually in TX called the Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup. i went to it as a kid.
it's awesome.
How did they determine which was an "honor state" and which was an "nonhonor state"?
I've actually heard someone use the phrase, "Yeah, they said cousin Jebidiah (not his real name) was airborne, doin about 180 when he hit that concrete barrier. Tore his head plumb off. I guess when it's your time, it's your time.
:horrormirth:

It shows a clear lack of understanding of the concept of causality.

Does it? Maybe they think someone's picking times.
Maybe what was being done that led to the aforementioned impact seemed survivable. Who Knows?
We got where we are as a species by having a well developed ability to "see it coming" and prepare accordingly.
Not everybody sees with equal clarity obviously.
If you just don't have whatever it takes to survive a situation, it kills you.
Mental clarity and forethought is just one of those things.
You live exactly as long as your environment allows given your abilities.
When the dice don't favor you (if there really are dice and chance) it's not like life lets you cash out and walk away from the table.
Maybe they figured it was his time 'cuz he went all in on a bad bet ...and it's funny.

Not really. Why?

No, but you did take a lot of the funny out by overanalyzing shit.
