A Volusia County woman suspected of killing her 79-year-old roommate allegedly doused herself in soda in an attempt to erase possible evidence on her body, according to an arrest affidavit.
That’s methed up, man.
From the beginning of the 2009 Dunning-Kruger paper Unskilled and unaware of it:
In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two Pittsburgh banks and robbed them in broad daylight, with no visible attempt at disguise. He was arrested later that night, less than an hour after videotapes of him taken from surveillance cameras were broadcast on the 11 o’clock news. When police later showed him the surveillance tapes, Mr. Wheeler stared in incredulity. “But I wore the juice,” he mumbled. Apparently, Mr. Wheeler was under the impression that rubbing one’s face with lemon juice rendered it invisible to videotape cameras (Fuocco, 1996).
There was also the guy who robbed a bank after he paid a wizard to make him invisible, and he was pretty mad at that wizard when he found out the invisibility spell was bunk.
This is the best reference possible. Btw, you can hear either Dunning or Kruger (can’t remember which) on an ep of the You Are Not So Smart podcast, which I no longer listen to, but it’s an interesting interview.
She poured diet Mountain Dew all over her body
Everyone knows that this is a job for Diet Double Dew.
I don’t know, I would choose Voltage for cleaning up a crime scene. Blue things clean better.
Lidl store brand blue raspberry energy drink works too
Florida woman
Her DNA was later found on the handle of a bloody knife found lying next to the victim’s body at the Daytona Beach home they shared, the affidavit stated.
And she would have gotten away with it if she’d bedewed the knife!
bedewed
TIL a word. This is masterful wordplay.
Apparently, she wouldn’t have had time since she bedewed herself AFTER she got arrested!
Not to dox myself but it’s always nice to see news about my home town as a reminder to never return
You should throw in some untrue details about your location from time to time, just to throw off the scent.
We are from France!
Just because it tasted like bleach doesn’t mean it’s going to clean up like bleach.
From one sticky situation to another.
DNA evidence being all the blood that she was covered with when the police caught her wandering around barefoot with a knife and hammer, outside a burger joint at half three in the morning? I’m sure that if she’d just had a moment longer to rinse it off, then her cast-iron ‘I usually carry stuff like that’ defence would have worked, and she wouldn’t have had to start fighting the police. So close to being the perfect crime.
Just Florida things
What the…reads Florida…ahh…

Yup that right there is the problem
The only thing suprised me about this article was that they make… diet mountain dew? Ew.
Nothing coming out of Florida news even phases me anymore.
I like Diet Mountain Dew.
It’ll destroy your traces of DNA from your insides.
