Legend has it that France’s love of horse meat dates back to 1807.  Napoleon and his famished troops, after the Battle of Eylau, ate the bodies of fallen horses to survive.  Since then, France has been a horse-eating country like no other.  Last year, over 15,000 horses were slaughtered in France for horse meat, but […]

A few days ago, I wrote up an article about a Chinese national who was trying to sneak into Japan illegally after having her fingerprints surgically changed, and I mentioned how this kind of crime was only going to become more common?  Well, Francis Viliar had a similar idea.  This suspected drug trafficker paid someone […]

I love Peeps (warning, dangerously catchy auto-playing music).  There’s something about Just Born’s yellow marshmallow confections that just hits the spot for me.  I adore those candies, and there’s just something about Easter that says Peep season for me.  It’s just not the holiday without a Diabetic Suicide Omlette.  I’m not the only one.  Just […]

Jimmy Winkelmann, a 19-year-old college student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, has a pretty wicked sense of humor.  You’d have to, growing up with the name Winkelmann.  That’s why he started The South Butt, a parody of clothing company The North Face.  Whereas The North Face tells its customers to, “Never Stop Exploring,” The South […]

Eskimo, an 8-year-old reindeer at Edinburgh Zoo, has always been a little different, and I don’t mean because he likes to wear horn decorations.  He was always a submissive reindeer, too submissive, and he never grew a proper pair of antlers.  The root of the problem was, apparently, something called a wedged testicle.  That could […]

Gore of Depeche Mode to help him.  You see, Erik is suing Activision, the parent company of Blizzard AKA the World of Warcraft people.  You see, Erik blames his many health problems on WoW, including: Crohn’s disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, agoraphobia, […]

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.  No, Virginia, he’s not really dead.  However, the person who is dead is a Fourth-Century Turkish Saint named Nicholas of Myra.   You might know him better as St. Nicholas, Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Pere Noel, and Fat Bearded Gift-Dude.  If you want to visit his grave, then […]

Here’s a tip for you fellas out there.  Ladies, listen close.  If you’re going to break up with your significant other after a heated argument, don’t wander into the other room and go to sleep.  I don’t care how long you’ve worked or how hard your day was, she’ll probably wander in and dump a […]

Some of mankind’s best inventions just came out of nowhere.  Just a bunch of people hanging around, maybe having a few beverages, when suddenly someone has a brainstorm.  “I know!  You know those big, expensive trains that people ride around in?  Let’s build our own!”  So, using old lawn furniture and salvaged parts, six guys […]
