Yeah, you read that headline right. Apparently, a social media event was created in hopes that a bunch of people would gather together and fire bullets into Hurricane Irma. The goal is to shoot the hurricane away.
Well, police in Florida clapped back at these idiots and posted the following warning on Twitter:
"To clarify, DO NOT shoot weapons @ #Irma. You won’t make it turn around & it will have very dangerous side effects."
The officer who posted the tweet also shared a graphic of the hurricane in a swirling motion, with the words: "Bullets come back, don't shoot."

 If you're wondering how many stupid people RSVP'd to this event, it is estimated that over 25,000 people thought it was an ingenious idea to shoot bullets at a Hurricane.

My Two Cents

I've been tracking this storm because I know people in Florida, personally, who are about to get walloped by this storm. I also know someone who was in the Dominican Republic on their honeymoon when the storm hit there.

This storm is no joke, and the fact that there are over 25K people out there who think it's a good idea to shoot bullets at a hurricane, makes me lose faith in all of humanity.

The officer who tweeted the graphic is right, the rotation of the hurricane will make the bullets come right back at you. But, hey! If you want to shoot bullets at a hurricane, I won't cry at your funeral. By all means, be an idiot.

Let this be a lesson to all you kids out there: Bath salts are bad..mmkay?

In all seriousness, I'm praying for all of you who are in the path of this behemoth storm. Be safe!

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%.
