Pandas Hot at China’s Fashion Week

I found these stunning images while researching Fashion Week in China, and lucky for us, they weren’t censored. We can anticipate more panda pandering as the Olympics draws near.

Snarky Op Ed About Nicole Kidman

I’ve recently been enjoying Australia’s Daily telegraph. Below is a funny op-ed piece about Nicole Kidman and the modern celebrity in general.

Along with cardigans and bad acting, privacy has been one of the great themes of Nicole […]

Turkey Lingerie

The great nation of Turkey has nothing to do with Thanksgiving. But I found this Turkish lingerie site days before North America slaughters masses of Turkeys on the altar of familial love and gluttonous gratitude.

This year I will be grateful for a secular Muslim nation like Turkey. A nation where a lady may HAVE […]

North American Corn Snake Falls from Sky in Oz

There are a few elements of this story that seem suspicious, but if it were smuggled into Australia you’d expect the smugglers to be on the “down low” about it, not blabbing to authorities. Or if you smuggled an illegal animal you no longer wanted-you’d prolly just kill it. Whereas if you and your […]

Cremains Sprinkled at Disney ‘Pirates’ Ride

I reckon having your remains scattered in the “Happiest Place on Earth” beats having your remains sprinkled in the line at the DMV. My fave cremains story, is when David Sedaris allegedly sprinkled the ashes of his forever housebound city kitty on the carpet and vacuumed them up. As you’ll see in the […]

Farewell Fabulous Moolah

 
Though I was never a huge fan, I always had an awareness of and respect for the trailblazer born in Tookiedoo SC. Until I read her obit I never knew how long and distinctive a career she’d had. Further reading suggests Miss Moolah may have died from complications from shoulder, perhaps shoulder replacement surgery. The […]

Don’t Give Dogs a Gun

 
I’m a little slow in posting this story that seems to happen every hunting season.

Many Photos of Lakshmi and Her 8 Limbs

I’ve culled these photos from many sources. She’s named after the 4 armed Hindu Goddess of Wealth and is apparently doing well after surgery. For more on her story, click here.

Cow Falls From Sky

To quote the owner of the cow, ” I have yet to figure out how to tell our children what happened to her.” Amen. With this fine story I’m adding a new category-Falls.

Man Serves Time for Assault With Pickle

If you are angry enough and resourceful enough I reckon ANYTHING can be a weapon. Upon closer reading it seems home invasion, cutting phone lines and verbal threats were the main offense with the throwing of 2 pickles, a furious flourish.
Pickle assault no laughing matter. Buchanan man gets probation for a year for encounter with […]

More Bigfoot or Bear Images

The British press had this article with more photos and more info not just on this siting but on Bigfoot in general. The critter in questions does seem to have long legs for a bear, but never having spent much time with bears I’m no judge.

Is this Bigfoot … or is it a bear […]
