Totally disregarding the fact that her son is nothing more than a wanton waste of sperm, this NSW mother has taken the educational system to court - and won - to the disgust of Netizens everywhere.

…while at Woodberry Public School in 1995, Mr Cox was “throttled” by an older boy, and received compensation from the Victims Compensation Tribunal over the attack. By the time he went to high school, his mother said he thought school a “scary proposition”.

“He didn’t like crowds, he didn’t like teachers, didn’t like the work,” she said.

The court heard Mr Cox, who is now 18, was a virtual recluse. He had only completed schooling up until the end of year 7, and an attempt at home schooling had failed.

His mother said he rarely went out, had no friends, and was on a pension.

“He just locks himself in his room playing PlayStation games,” she said.

Can’t say I blame those kids… I feel like kicking his face.

A new study finds Singapore to be the fastest country in the world - when it comes to average walking speed. Considering the number of slow fucks I encounter blocking my way on a daily basis, the rest of us normal, healthy people must be walking really fast indeed.

She was alone on a mountain shelf when they found her - a frozen, pathetic figure just 800ft below the summit of Everest.

When they eventually reached her she barely had the strength left to speak. But Francys Arsentiev’s last words would stay with them for the rest of their lives: “Don’t leave me,” she begged. “Please don’t leave me.” In the treacherous terrain of the world’s highest mountain, and in temperatures below minus 30C, they had little choice.

They stayed with her for as long as they could before abandoning their summit attempt and heading back down for help. In their hearts, however, they knew they were leaving her to die.

9 years on, with her twisted body still lying in the freezing cold exactly where he had left it, Ian Woodall is going back to Everest to bury her.
