Only 6 more sins to go!

Presumably he'll be hitting up a dragon priest tomb next.

eight to 10 mixed drinks in an hour

If the cops didn't catch him, he may have gone back to his room and passed out, and choked to death on his own vomit. Those 19 year old college punks can't hold their liquor.

This is not normal 10-drink behavior. This is normal 18-drink behavior. Lightweight.

So he should have tried it during the normal business hours? How the hell would he have gotten away with more witnesses?

All the hot babes love them and i need one now too.

Tressel is gone but his legacy lives on at THE Ohio State University.

Jerkwater: This is not normal 10-drink behavior. This is normal 18-drink behavior. Lightweight.

I can see it from ten in an hour. Most people have already been at it for a while to hit a full drink every 6 minutes.

The museum likely will have to raise money from outside sources to repair the exhibits, he said.

WTF? What happened to restitution? Make the drunk idiot pay.

Calmamity: I keep looking for ground sloth at Whole Foods, but I don't think they carry it any more.

It's next to the Sloth Helper.

Was it a free toad sloth?

College students can get jobs. And give up their drinking money.

Yeah, that's why they have no money.

If I suddenly had a $7,000 bill for something while I was in university I would have just shrugged and asked them if they wanted my left or right kidney.

He should have to pay for the damages, but chances are the museum wouldn't see the money for a long time.

I didn't know that Drew had gone back to college. Well, it's double secret probation time.

Lone Stranger

it took a while, but I finally saw the sloth you were talking about in those pictures.

Make his family sell their house.

I don't know why they call that stuff Sloth Helper. It does just fine by itself.

Or suspend him till restitution is paid. He'll have plenty of time to find a job .

Good thing everything he destroyed was a replica.

Most museum artifacts are factory-produced replicas, just in case they get damaged or vandalized

That is not true, unless you are referring to just natural history artifacts, in which case that would again be limited to about 25% of fossils on display.

fark this kid. I hate, hate, hate idiots who act like complete, senseless neanderthals the second they down some alcohol.

Either you can act like a reasonable human being while drunk or you can't, and if you are the latter, then don't get drunk. "But I was drunk!" is a bullshiat excuse that irresponsible morons cower behind instead of owning up to their own behavior.

They should expel him and not let him back until he's gotten a wage slave job and paid for his stupid actions. And if he doesn't do that double-time, then they should sue the shiat out of him.

The total damage, which Gnidovec estimated at $5,000 to $7,000, was to reproductions and not actual bones and fossils. He said they're replaceable, even though a company that made one of them is no longer in business.

"It's going to take a lot of time and money to do that," Gnidovec said.

The museum likely will have to raise money from outside sources to repair the exhibits, he said.

Yeah, fark that.

Since these were reproductions, here's an idea: make the punk recreate the damaged pieces himself. If it takes him 1000 hours, so be it. He will have learned a lesson and perhaps some skills in the process.

Most museum artifacts are factory-produced replicas, just in case they get damaged or vandalized

Many things on display are indeed replicas, however 95% of things in the collection of a museum are original materials. There are numerous reasons why replicas may be on display, including:

Original fossil is too fragile for display/mounting
Original fossil has too much research value, and is kept in collections for researchers to access
Original fossils are spendy, and the extra armature to mount them is expensive
Original fossils are much more rare, and cast replicas are easier to acquire.

I just finished mounting an original Platecarpus skull. There is a heck of a lot of work that goes into mounting original fossils. Look at the pic before I painted the restoration of the almost finished skull below.



Replicas at least can be replaced. And using the term "factory" is a bit misleading. Nothing factory-like about it.

Whew! It's another university's giant sloth. I was concerned that something had happened to Rusty, the giant sloth at the University of Iowa:


Yes, Rusty is wearing a hula skirt in this picture.

Trance750: So I take it you've never been young and stupid, before?

This is a special kind of stupid that I despise.

And to be honest, no, I didn't really do anything of noteworthy stupidity when I was younger.

Drunk after a mere ten drinks? farking frosh.

Suspend him until he finishes paying for the damages, then shoot him in the head and display his body in the paleoarcheology display.

Trance750: Must be nice to never made any kind of mistakes or questionable judgement.

I didn't say that. I said I didn't do anything of noteworthy stupidity. Everyone makes bad decisions or acts irresponsibly sometimes, especially when they're younger.

Not everyone, say, breaks into a museum and damages a bunch of fossils. Or goes out driving while drunk and kills someone. Or tears down all the light fixtures in a hotel. Or any of the other monumentally stupid, destructive, and completely pointless things that retards like this kid do.

There are things that I can chalk up to being young and inexperienced, but there are also activities that no reasonable human being could decide to engage in without being a complete idiot. A 12-year-old could tell you that breaking into a museum to play with bones is a bad idea. They might still want to do it, but they know full well that it is something you don't do.

Hopefully this kid in the article will grow out of his stupidity, but I don't cut him any slack for being young and drunk.

Now turn it in to the quest giver and he'll make a special weapon for you from it.

Hell, I was often told I was born with a beer in my hand.

Just because you are a farkup when you drink does not mean that the rest of the world farks up when drinking. You, like the idiot from TFA, have a problem.

There seem to be some museumy types in here. Maybe you know: were they not insured? Isn't that standard?

namegoeshere: There seem to be some museumy types in here. Maybe you know: were they not insured? Isn't that standard?

It all depends on the museum, the items (and their status/location), and the nature of the damage.

namegoeshere: There seem to be some museumy types in here. Maybe you know: were they not insured? Isn't that standard?

Many times state university-run museums are self-insured. I still don't see why the kid isn't financially responsible. Hell, if the parking department can keep you from graduating with fines...

It could be that the collections manager was freaking out and didn't stop to think about that when he talked to the reporter.
