News of the Weird Runner Up: Australian Man Pays for Ill -Prepared Hike

Sometimes stupidity should cost. Especially if others are dragged into it. That is my opinion and now the opinion of New South Wales, Australia officials.

A 29 year-old hiker decided to head out on a 3 day trip to explore the Blue Mountains there. Without proper provisions. The less than intelligent guy only had potatoes and bread on hand. Really. No knapsack, no sleeping bag. Nothing.

It's no surprise to me that after 3 days, he was reported missing. Rescue workers were sent out to find him and when they did, the hiker had an ankle injury. Police were not amused, so they booked him and fined him for the risk of injury to rescuers.

If he was a Boy Scout he would have known better!
