4 ) Pilot Dip Their Choppers in a Lake ... for Facebook

To even be allowed behind the stick of a military aircraft, you have to prove yourself to be a confident, level-headed type who won't steal a plane and go strafe your ex-girlfriend's house. So when two experienced Navy helicopter pilots had a close encounter with Lake Tahoe in 2010, causing half a million dollars' worth of damage, everybody wondered just what went wrong. It's all on video, and it looks like it could have been much worse than it was:

Meredith, in no doubt the proudest moment of his military career, decided to set up a proper military ambush at a local dam in order to surprise a group of 1,000 emus. Once again, the birds scattered and slipped away. This scenario repeated itself until Meredith's I've-Had-Enough-of-This-Shit-O-Meter reached critical levels. He mounted one of the machine guns on the back of a truck in order to hunt the emus down and just flat out drive-by the bastards,gangsta style.
The emus easily outran the truck and led it over such rough terrain that the gunner didn't even manage a single shot. The chase ended when the truck crashed through a fence, because at that point the universe was just throwing Looney Tunes tropes at them. Having had their share of humiliation, the weary soldiers had no option but to admit defeat after a week's combat. The score: 10,000 fired rounds and less than 1,000 dead emus. Here's what Meredith had to say about his avian enemy:
"If we had a military division with the bullet-carrying capacity of these birds, it would face any army in the world. They could face machine guns with the invulnerability of tanks."

And thus began Bird War One.
This did not go well.
The Embarrassment:
The very first clash of the operation proved that the emus were gifted in the art of guerrilla tacticsin a way that would make the Jurassic Parkvelociraptors break out into spontaneous applause. Herding them together for easy pickings proved near impossible, and they scattered in every direction the second the first bullets flew. Only a handful of birds succumbed to the worst hail of bullets the troops could offer -- the others vanished into the scenery without a trace. What's more, many of the birds that ran away with zero difficulty had clearly sustained hits.They just didn't give a sh*t about bullets

We really don't get enough stories about incompetent soldiers. Think about it: It's a real disservice to war heroes if we never give people anything to compare them to. The very reason bravery and quick wits under fire are to be celebrated is because they're rare.
So let's take a moment to celebrate some of the hilariously stupid shit that goes on in the name of war.
5The Australian Army Loses to Emus
Getty
In 1932, Australian farmers had a problem: A gigantic flock of birds had migrated into their land and were obliterating their wheat crops. And this being Australia, these particular birds were unlikely to be intimidated by a dude made of straw and old clothes. They were emus: flightless, 6-foot-tall eating machines that had decided to take over the local farmlands. And there were 20,000 of them.
The situation quickly escalated to the point where you could barely see the fields from scores of Big Birds lounging around. And since the problem was downright cartoonish, the farmers opted to solve it in an appropriately Wile E. Coyotesque way: They asked for military assistance.
That is how Major G.P.W. Meredith of the Royal Australian Artillery found himself leading two regiments of battle-hardened soldiers, complete with some big-ass heavy machine guns, to unleash hell on a bunch of helpless birds.

The idea of having an award named after the Argentine striker would be intended to praise the antics of 'the best player in history', according to Javier Tebas.
La Liga's president Javier Tebas has always been linked to Real Madrid, especially since he declared his "love" for Los Blancos years ago. However, the chairman of the Spanish top flight came forward to propose an award to the most valuable player of the season which would be named after Lionel Messi.
Speaking in an interview with Goal, Tebas admitted that having a trophy with Messi's name on it would be ideal, mainly due to the fact that he considers "La Pulga" will be the best player in football history.
"We should think about it. I think Messi will be the greatest footballer in history, he can do it all. He's been playing here since the youth categories, he always gives 110% and he never stops. It would be a great idea to have an MVP award, and it should be named after Messi," Tebas said.
Messi is La Liga's top scorer and has been widely praised by fans throughout Spanish territory. The idea of naming this award after the Argentine footballer comes from the current awards given out by Spanish newspaper Marca, which gives out awards named after footballers each season.
"Each season we have the Pichichi, the Zarra and the Zamora trophies. Having a trophy given out to the best player of the season with Messi's name on it seems as a fantastic idea," Tebas added.
The award would be created and handed out once Messi leaves professional football, according to Tebas. While La Liga's president has come up with some interesting ideas, let's see how the Spanish football community reacts to this proposition.https://www.livesoccertv.com/news/28076/la-liga-president-proposes-to-create-messi-award/?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C7378483878

LordAdamX:
We will get into top 4 even if we field 8 players in each of the remaining matches.

As you don dey identify as stainless spoon fan. So pitiable.

-Lord

this one is talking about fielding 8 players when you cant't beat leavante with 11 players...this is the effect of what we call beat sense comot 4 person head ...barca wiked sha

So Instead of a certain self acclaimed lord to focus on immediate problems like overtaking the likes of getafe and levante and maybe get into europa league spots, he is here disturbing and having wet dreams about juve meeting barca in the quaterfinals next year . Plastic spoon fans everywhere

oxladexo:
Suarez's hat-trick made up for some poor decision making during the match.

My men of the match though are Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba.

Honestly, it's like you guys didn't notice Roberto's magical display today.

luis enrique no go get sense call up jordi alba for spain now o...meanwhile sergi roberto using his midfielder sense to play right back dey give me orgasm...my God , those foward runs...easily one of the best utility players in the world...that guy na premier league material

osazsky:
were are those shouting DAT Spanish league is d best league just because of ronaldo,,they win d UC
L cux they rest for 2 months during d December break while EPL teams play all tru,I have said it times without number after d exit of ronaldo and messi ,Spain will cease to exist

With this kind of performance, madrid will go on rampage in the transfer market to get guys like hazard, mbappe or neymar. Barca will also do the same when messi leaves...these two clubs have a great apeal to talents because of thier history and traditions...maybe If epl can just hold on to their talents
