26 Cheerleaders+Elevator=Trouble

A nothing-to-do-with-this-post-but-so-adorable image.

Texas, USA-26 cheerleaders, all aged 14-17, were stuck on an elevator(or lift) at University of Texas' Jester Hall. The girls were 'experimenting' if they would all fit. The girls went down from level four to level one, when the doors just wouldn't open! A few('cause it was really crammed) managed to whip out their phones and called for help. Police and firemen were called, and after 25 minutesn they were free.

“It’s dangerous actually,” said Rhonda Weldon, director of communications for the UT Police Department. "They’re lucky that that’s all that happened."

One girl fainted and was taken to hospital. Another two were treated on the scene

“Take the sign seriously,” Ms. Weldon said. “There are signs everywhere: No more than 15 people or 3,000 pounds.”

Guess they aren't thin and light enough either.

I love that picture of the chickens.

Those cheerleaders must be blonde.

You know, I always thought cheerleaders were always unfairly portrayed in films and media and stuff, and I'm always willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
But this was uh..pretty not smart.

Hehe, I know.

Maybe they were blonde, though scientific studies say there is no link between hair colour and intelligence. Maybe they couldn't read the sign.

How do you open a combination lock with a coke can?

Blonde - as in, blonde in the mind.

Jin Ai: It's very easy. I'll try and put up a YouTube video where I learnt it from. And it really does work, seriously! But YT isn't working now, bleh...
