What Would Make You Call 911? Two Life and Death Stories

This photo is a joke-if it were real-call the fuzz and follow the car.

How much do you see and ignore? How much do you mind your own business and when do you step in to prevent a violent act? What would you have to see before you called 911? What’s the difference between being a […]

One Man Donates 50 tons of 78 rpm Records

Not every collector aspires to one day amass a collection valued far beyond dollars, but most of best think past the cash. Mr Savada was such a collector- more historian and host than salesman. 5o tons of records! The mind boggles. To transport it will take six 20-foot-long Federal Express trucks. Wow. Thanks Mr […]

6 Foot Penis Must Apologize For Interrupting Graduation

This is for sure one of the best Senior pranks EVER! This six foot tall inflatable penis looks great on the all black stage of the high school graduation. It woulda been better if he were still a student. Here’s a link to it on youtube. Oddly, on youtube, quite a few inflatable penises […]

Oops, Real Rembrandt Sold Cheap as a Fake

One of the best parts of this story is the actual painting itself. Its no stuffy crucifixion or boring still life. In this self portrait, the deft Dutchman laughs at the stuffed shirt know-it-alls across the ages and shares good cheer with the smartie pants who bought him for a song. As a Dutch […]

Teen Arrested for Giving Cops LSD Cookies Vindicated

Damnnnnn holmes. What the hell is wrong with the field test for LSD that a chocolate chip cookie comes up tainted? 
When this story first broke I loved the idea of a enlightened young tripper sharing the gift of innner-vision with THE MAN. But nope, thats not the case, tests prove the cookies were just […]

Cute Chinese Baby Has Third Arm Removed

Modern medicine improves people’s quality of life. However, sometimes, I worry that medicine is helping to homogenize humans. Dwarfs given HGH as children to boost their stature, orthodontia and plastic surgery changing people faces towards a bland prettiness. 
Since this infant had 3 arms, and 2 were semi-functional, an educated guess was made as to […]

Town in India Pays Residents to Use Proper Toilets

I strive for tolerance of other cultures but c’mon people, it’s not rocket science to figure out one does not poo where one eats or where ones children play. Lord I love indoor plumbing. The photo and caption are chilling. This story is so absurd in 2008, it almost belongs in THE ONION, but it’s […]

Fake Priest Nabbed at Vatican

Wow it’s not every day you see “a case of usurping an ecclesiastical title.” If you’re going to flirt with danger, go big. Don’t shoplift at 7-11, go to Barneys. If you’re gonna be a fake priest, don’t go to Applebees, go to the Vatican!

Couch Flies Again! New Lawn Chair Flight Record

Yippeee! Couch flies again, and lands, safely! I can only imagine the magic of seeing him waft down thru a blue sky in an Idaho farm field on a clear summer day, popping balloons, spilling kool-aid and smiling. He handed out some of his balloons to those who came to see him land. Wow, thinking […]

For years Ralph Archbold, living as Ben Franklin, has been making a splash around Philly. Wearing his costume to the grocery store, providing amply ample quotes to the press when pressed, and generally being a real character and not just a character. Well, […]

Guy in wheelchair gets DUI

There’s some great drinking stories that come from Australia, below is one of them.  I’ve heard in some parts of the States that scooters, moped, and riding mowers are all used by the drunk to avoid getting a DUI.

This wheelchair costing less than $50 is available for free to the needy-click here for more info.  […]
