Burglars in pop culture are often portrayed as stealthy masterminds able to get and in out of high-security buildings undetected. In real life, most B&E perps are morons who have chosen a dangerous, relatively low-paying profession with little upside apart from being able to make their own hours.

This picture pretty much illustrates that point. The person hanging by his shoelaces in the open bay window is would-be thief John Pearce.

"The man must be the world's dumbest thief," said the owner of the house, who was greeted by this sight recently when he came home from work. Pearce, who was holding a hammer, at first denied that he was burgling the place, claiming he had spotted someone else trying to rob the house and that he was only trying to stop them.

One of his shoelaces got caught as he was entering the house, and the more he struggled, the more he got entangled. Eventually, he was freed when police and paramedics arrived.

Pearce is now facing robbery charges and a lifetime of ridicule.

    Don't make eye contact with this. Looking at Chuck Norris in the eyes is like watching "The Ring." You won't know it, but you'll be dead within a week.

    Okay, this is the best tattoo we've EVER seen. The artist told us this was the result of a lost bet (awesome). I can't decide who I want to give an awesome beej to more: the dude who thought of it or the dude who actually got it.

    Now preppies are getting tats? It's over people! Nothing to see here, folks. Go home to your families.

    R.I.P. Ol' Dirty Foot.

    This guy doesn't need bongos and a bag of coke to bring the party. He just shows up in shorts with his PARTY LEGS and brings the PARTY VIBES. Even his grandchildren will be high-fiving him when he takes them fishing.

    There are about three million Chewy tattoos out there, but this is the funniest rendition I've ever seen. I could look at this every day for the rest of my life and still get a chuckle. Dude, look at it. It's. So. Good.

    "Snakes on a Plane" on a douchebag.

    This is what happens when chicks die: We turn into magical pink unicorns who get blazed by our big strong Pegasus boyfriends on a cloud in the middle of a rainbow. Then we get to smoke afterwards and nobody tells us it's a cliche.

    Hmm ... maybe some regrets.
