Yup, thats a totem pole and trust me, it’s in New Jersey. Miss Fidget found it on a recent jaunt and those, it’s a a found photo. The pole is located off Broadway in Westville, New Jersey. In order to preserve the peace of the nice red brick dwelling home and pole owner, I […]

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) ― Steven Seagull has returned to the Super 8 motel in Duluth, Minn., looking for his customary cake doughnut.
Year after year, the ring-billed gull has tapped […]
Warning, this is not a funny, odd or lighthearted story. It’s grim as grime and deals with the deep links between poverty, religion, and child trafficking. It seems improbable in the digital age that to pay for VooDoo Initiation children are sold to quarries and die “breaking rocks in the hot sun” but its […]
Wow, how cool is this? WHAT is this? It’s like a dang old globster from the sky. Fact packed story-read on.

This story is actually sort of sweet. A son made a bet with his aging father that if the old guy lived to 100 he’d hire a stripper for his funeral. Old guy made it to 103! It sounds as though his 103 years were vibrant and happy as he was able to travel around […]
When I first saw the stowaway snake line I was all ‘god, please let it be snakes on a plane.’ The truth is much scarier. The canebrake is the second deadliest snake in the US. The photo below shows a canebrake among fallen magnolia leaves on white sand, a very South Carolinian setting. Please […]
Ok, so this story is not new, but it’s new to me. Even better, it’s old enough to have an explanation, and a great wikipedia entry. The exploding toad page on wikipedia has links to “Exploding amphibians in popular culture.” The possibility of doing a thesis work on “Exploding amphibians in popular culture” is enough […]
This sad story is a reminder of no matter how much technology we surround ourselves with, it’s a large planet shared by all manner of flora and fauna. It seems to have been an instant tragic end for both parties. Shocking and untimely as it was, a sunny day, in a beautiful place, surrounded by […]
Wow, a 27 kilogram or 59.5 pound tumor is really big. Since I’ve never seen a Vietnamese person of Samoan proportions, it makes the size of the tumor even more notable. It must have been such a relief and improvement in the quality of the unfortunate lady’s life.

HAL-9000: What is going to happen?
Dave: Something wonderful.
HAL-9000: I’m afraid.
Dave: Don’t be. We’ll be together.
HAL-9000: Where will we be?
Dave: Where I am now.

Kudos and farewell to a man, who made the world a much larger place.

This salon and dog owner must be well versed in correctly and safely using hair dye, as she’s licensed to do so. Compared to what people do to dogs hair as seen in this post about grooming competitions, it’s silly she was fined. Some people dye their dog and get a medal, some dye their […]
This story is not new, but it is still notable. Do a quick search here at MissFidget.com to read about Bill Hedden who also lost an arm to a gator. Mr Hedden was quite sober when he encountered a gator, unlike this guy.
Adrian Apgar is still in a local hospital three months after losing […]
