If they aren’t falling from trees, or coming out of a toilet Iguanas can be pretty cute. If you are into the closest thing since Godzilla. Well just like Godzilla these things have caused a nightmare scenario in South Florida. It’s a crazy story about how an Iguana causes a massive power outage in a South Florida city.

Down in Lake Worth Beach Florida, the power all of sudden went out and no one knew why. One woman was able to speak up about what happened when she was standing outside and saw it all. She watched an Iguana climb up a power pole possibly chasing after food and get up near the transformer. She said as soon as he touched the transformer it blew and the thing fried. That’s when the power went out according to her. The City of Lake Worth Beach has not responded to questions on the incident but was quick to tweet out they were handling it as soon as possible.

Iguanas are not a native species to Florida and have been causing trouble for Floridians for some time.  A 62-year-old man had to get stitches after an iguana ran in front of him. Iguanas can grow up to 5 feet weighing in at 17 lbs. They enjoy feasting on vegetation, bird eggs, and dead animals. Most commonly they are known for falling out of trees when temperatures fall below 50 Degrees. Rest assured it was not cold weather that an Iguana cause a massive power outage in a South Florida city. [Source CBS]

The 5 Dumbest Scientists From The Movies

I’ve often talked about my annoyance with scientists. They’re always doing studies that seem like they came up with right after they huffed some computer duster. And those are the real scientists. No scientist is more dumber than a movie scientist. (yes I wrote “more dumber” for the humor element of the mistake.) These are the most dumbest movie scientist type people.

  • Dr. Wu - Jurassic Park

    Just because an old rich guy asks you to make dinosaurs, definitely doesn’t mean you should. Look what happened. Dr. Wu thought he was doin science… instead he challenged nature and ended up creating a real sh*t show. It turns out dinosaurs are very, very dangerous.

  • Dr. Brundle - The Fly

    I thought that if you were a scientist, that attention to detail was of the utmost importance. Especially, if you’re…ya know… trying to figure out the mysteries of teleportation. Of course things can get wacky if a fly gets into your teleportation pod. Dr. Brundle didn’t realize this and that is how you end up pullin your eyeballs out to reveal your new fly eyes.

  • Dr. Wren - Alien Resurrection

    If you’ve ever seen a Xenomorph from the “Alien” franchise, you probably thought as I did… probably best those things aren’t around. Maybe we should stay far away from these vicious creatures with acid blood. Not if you’re Dr. Wren. He thought, now that they are gone… we should bring em back! The result, more goddamn aliens resulting in various forms of devastation. Great idea, jackass!

  • Dr. Dyson - Terminator 2

    If someone were to say to you, “Hey, we found this creepy robot arm and computer chip” a normal person would probably say — “Weird, we should probably leave that alone and definitely not try to reverse engineer whatever it is!” Not if you’re a dumbass scientist though. Dr. Dyson from Terminator thought it would be cool to do some work with said robot arm, and ended up bringing the end of civilization with multitudes of crazy killer cyborgs. Not cool, bud.

  • Jackson - Stargate

    The thing about other dimensions, is that they aren’t the best places for us. The science crew in the movie Stargate was eager to check out what’s on the other side. They were so eager in fact they didn’t think about what would happen if the gate closed trapping them in whatever hellscape they unlocked. F**k! Time and time again, scientists keep proving that just because you’re super smart doesn’t mean you’re still not dumb as hell.
