These days, you can’t be too careful when you’re going through the airport.  That’s why a passenger with a few bottles of honey caused the complete shutdown of the Meadows Field Airport.  TSA agents mistook the honey for… some kind of weapon during a routine security screening and then everything went crazy.  The airport was […]

Hot on the heels of the Jesus bruise is another unusual bit of holy symbolism, this time invading the dinner table.   This time, there’s not one, but two, so-called holy potatoes.  They’re normal spuds, but with cross-shaped places inside the potato!  On Christmas Day, Dennis Bort and his wife were cobbling a post-vacation dinner […]

Step right on up!  You, sir, look like a good, charitable person!  You, madam, look like the sort of soul who’d do anything to help her fellow human beings in a time of need.  Well, in order to raise money for the Salvation Army food bank in Hawera, New Zealand, a group of Salvation Army […]

The things that can happen to a human being in the womb are just astounding.  There have been all sorts of medical miracles and odd bodies on display at PopFi, but rarely have I seen such a complete gallery of incredible human images in one place.  Just check out Web Urbanist’s incredible humans for more […]

The offices of the Metropolitan Police in Kennington are home to the department’s weapons and technology experts.  Like most people tech inclined, those police officers are also a little bit on the messy side.  However, you think they’d have fire power enough to take care of a mouse problem before the mice started building nests […]

Jeff Miller broke a record with his staggering 72-hour TV binge.  Not only did he set a new Guinness World Record for competitive sitting, he also won his third straight Ultimate Couch Potato contest at the Chicago, Illinois, ESPN Zone.  The self-employed real estate mogul is only 26, but he’s got the TV watching skills […]

Customers at a Lidl grocery store in Madrid, Spain, might have gotten a little more than they’d bargained for when they went to the store to pick up some delicious plantains.  No, there’s nothing wrong with those cousins to the banana; they’re actually really tasty when fried up.  Most things are tasty when fried.  The […]

It was a party that seemed like it would never end.  At England’s historic Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales, 60 party-goers decided to book the hall and celebrate the coming of the new year in grand fashion in England’s highest-altitude pub.  Unfortunately, they didn’t count on the freak series of snow storms that […]

In the online dating world, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince.  However, if you’re a user of BeautifulPeople.com,  you know there’s going to be a lot of handsome frogs.  After all, that’s the dating website where users vote on who gets to be included as one of the […]

You know what I hate?  I hate that, when I get hungry and it’s like… 10:30 AM, for example, that I may not be able to get lunch.  I don’t like breakfast food, even if it is deep-fried.  That’s why I empathize with 24-year-old Melodi Dushane of Toledo, Ohio.  When she couldn’t get her McNuggets […]

I love popcorn.  Buttery popcorn?  Love it.  Extra buttery popcorn?  Love it.  Movie theater butter?  Love it.  I love caramel popcorn, cheese popcorn (despite hating cheese), garlic popcorn, kettle corn, and hot and spicy popcorn.  If you slap a flavor onto some corn, I love it.  That’s why I’m buying myself a box of bacon-flavored […]
