Things you might forget before going to bed… especially if you’re a drunk Russian: brushing your teeth shower/bath pajamas a six-inch knife sticking out of your back “Yuri Lyalin, 53, took a bus home, ate breakfast and apparently slept like a baby before his spouse noticed a handle sticking out of his back. “ Technorati [...]

I would say alleged, but he caught her not once, but twice, and had video evidence on top of it. But because he was but [...]

They actually had the gall to call the new Anna Nicole Smith biopic “the most anticipated motion picture of the year.” If by “anticipated” you mean, will cause me to stick rusty ten-penny nails in my eyeballs if forced to watch it, then yea, I guess they’re right.

The copper-headed stepchild of the currency world is at the center of a dustup in Readington Township, NJ. A group of 29 eighth graders played a prank disguised as civil disobedience by paying for their lunch all in pennies. After the fact, they said it was to protest a shortened lunch period. I guess I [...]

Here’s the Wikipedia entry for some background on the People’s Temple and the freakiness that should never have happened and should never again. Technorati Tags: Jim Jones, [...]

I work for a cellular phone company, but I thought even the average person might find this mildly interesting. The Finnish Road Administration has taken to locking roadside toilets, and you can unlock them by texting the word “open” to a short code. This way, they can keep short term records of the users and [...]

Way cool, spooky short film about a young man on a road trip who takes an unexpected detour through a small town… and the startling events that unfold.

Next to all the fun stuff I post here, I also feel the need to post more serious stuff, that borderlines stupidity and hypocrisy. In 2003 ABC broadcasted an episode of NYPD Blue where they showed a woman’s butt.  Everyone flipped out apparently over this.  The “FCC on Friday determined that a woman’s naked backside [...]

Ok, I’ve forgotten many things in my life – keys, birthdays, appointments, phone numbers, instructions, anniversaries, my name, etc… but a dead body? That’s what one Charles E.

Just so you know… you are not allowed to have a “Bake-off”  only General Mills can have a “Bake-off”… because apparently they own the rights to the word “bake-off”… and they aren’t shy to step into a small town and flex their muscle over a local group raising money for a good cause.  Link to [...]

So this guy in Green Bay was driving drunk (big surprise). He hits two pedestrians (a man and a woman) on the East side of town. Does he stop to provide some sort of help? Of course not… Instead, he continues driving home and drags the woman for a ways. Not only that, but the [...]

On top of that, if you hit someone with your car in Texas… specifically, a little girl… RUN! Hell, don’t run, drive to the nearest police station and have them lock you up for your safety, because around the corner are a bunch of 10 Gallon Hats of Doom coming to bludgeon you to death! [...]
