New Teen Fad=Lowering Trend in IQ??

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,593570,00.html?test=latestnews



I don't understand this concept at all!?!?! It ranks up there with rubbing your eye with a jalepeno!

Potential blindness is now a game. Wow.

Hey, this is "FOX News", and not a real news organization. Fox News is as much about "news" as Miller Lite is "Tripple Hopped".

I watched a show one time that talked about teens are also huffing alcohol which is extremely dangerous. They'd use one of those plastic coffee mugs with the lids. Pour over dry ice and it'll create fumes. They'd cap it and inhale it through the small hole in the top. Insane.

Were the hell are kids getting dry ice?

Apparently it is on Youtube:
With many others linked in the side bar.

When I was a kid my classmates would play the pass out game.

You huff and puff really hard and then take in a deep breath and go against a wall then someone pushes on my chest and you pass out.

I never did it. Thought it was about the most stupid thing ever.

All of these stupid fads are just natural selection doing its job.

What does that have to do with alcohol though?


I have inhaled co2 many times and let me tell you it will seriously mess you up for a few seconds. Then gives you a nasty headache.

BC I'd agree with that. But, how would your statement change if it were your teen "trying" out the fad?

And remember, beatings are frowned upon by DHS.

The kid who ate too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own.

Kid last night sent himself and 3 friends to the hospital when he tried to drive through a small hamlet while holding his breath. Obviously didn't make it. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/teens_crash_while_holding_breath_4CDR5XLU8tE2ViBdQfJINP

Just a Baby Ruth!!!!

We (as a society) need to stop trying to be the lifeguards of the gene pool.

I just want to smack the bottom of that bottle. Is that wrong and evil??

We all did this in middle school. Stupid kid stuff. They won't figure it out until someone gets really hurt. And then the next generation of stupid kids will find something else to hurt themselves.

I read a book about this once...The Third Chimpanzee...there is a section where he discusses a hypothesis regarding why animals and humans do things that are potentially damaging, such as antelope jumping and using up energy when in confronted by predators, even though it doesn't help them escape. Also in impressing mates and whatnot. He discussed consumption of drugs and alcohol to be this similar "I can handle it, it makes me more manly" idea that is in our subconscious. One interesting example was a friend of his that once a month would sip on shots of kerosene. It was basically, "I'm fit, so I can handle this abuse."

I just found it interesting that not everything is so apparent...some of our stupidity is lying deep within our genes.

I knew some goobers that would bend over and inhale/exhale a lot to hyperventilate. Then someone would put a sort of sleeper hold on them (crook of arm around neck) and lift up. Pass out for 10secs while having weird dreams.

. Imagination+stupidity=Wasted brain cells

The sad thing is... this is probably how beer and wine were invented "Hey, I'm going to take some fruit and berries... mash 'em up... stick 'em in the back of my cave for a few weeks. Then I'm gonna scrape the mold off and drink it!"

Then the guy had to convince his buddies to do it too!

And let us not forget the discovery that cows udders produce milk...


That had to be done while high or on a bet.

OK, new news article about a "fun" game for teen friends and bullies: Sack Tapping.

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/sack-tapping-boys-punch-testicles-game/story?id=10762563

Not sure what I would do if a friend did this to me, but I am sure it wouldn't pleasant for them.

Seriously, I must be getting to old to understand teens. Where is my cane and "Stay off the grass" sign....

Yeah, we used to do that in high school, but we called it 'tagging'.

i fully support the game of ball tag. why? because we're all better off from their infertility.

nope not a game that i would of thought of as fun. I must have had a different style of friend in school

We called them "tippers"


The goal was to have your hand snap so just the tips smack the yambag...like towel snaping but with your hand.

Got extra "points" if they guy dropped to his knees.


In retrospect...I kind of wish I would have smacked a few people I knew harder
Might have stopped them from reproducing...

That gives a whole new meaning to The Tap Room.

I was just reading about 5 girls in Poland that got pregnant playing a game of "The Star" or "The Sun". Basically the girls lay down in a circle, with their heads in the center, and then the boys start going at it with them. Whichever team finishes last wins.

That's sort of an anti-Darwin Award stupidity. Although to be fair, it's still abysmally stupid.

That ball tapping things sounds very gay to me. If you don't well then......

You really don't think that is how man figured out we could milk animals like cows and goats do you?

I would rather have played this game than "tipper"
