"There is no "unlucky" way to fire a gun on purpose--this can't even be termed a negligent discharge, they were aiming the thing, counting down, the whole works."
Yes it was their responsibility, but also they fired the gun on a test range. You can bet the Alameda County range operators signed off as well. And then their cannonball bounced off the berm they were using for a backstop and flew all the way out of the containment region.
You can perform all due diligence and still have shit happen. I work on Aberdeen Proving Ground. People get hurt on the test ranges. Sometimes people die. You can't know every possible outcome.
Should have mentioned Barry Marshall as well. He proved that ulcers were caused by a bacterial infection largely by drinking a vial of that bacteria and giving himself some.
"So, are you guys saying that Mexicans should just shut up and take it when people make fun of their background?"
Isn't that a Juan Valdez costume? Valdez is a iconic character and brand used by the Colombians to sell their coffee. As such I don't mind someone poking a little fun at it.
Ditto Cardozo on Speedy Gonzales. The whole point of those cartoons was to destroy the stupid, lazy Mexican stereotype. In every cartoon Speedy runs circles around the gringo physically and mentally. Yet somehow they're all racist now.

The joke would be funnier if it didn't contain references to too many different Doctors. The trope is 11th, Allonsy is 10th, but the picture they used is 9th.
Some comic book are from the 40s and 50s prior to the introduction of the CCA actually was quite grotesque or risque, especially for the time. Look up Good Girl Art.
