One of the irritants in life is the speed trap camera.  I don’t mind getting caught speeding by a cop, but to get caught speeding by some kind of lame electronic eye in the sky?  That’s just laziness on the part of the police department, and a naked cash grab.  Brian McCrary agrees, which is […]

Move over Stormhammer Deathclaw Firebrand, you’ve just been beaten handily in the quest to have the world’s weirdest name.   You may as well go back to being Richard Smith, because the former Austin Kettle (which is already kind of a funny name to begin with) has now changed her name to Mrs. Lorraine Darla I […]

It’s the kind of thing you see happen all the time.  A naked man running around on the interstate, screaming about how he’s Jesus.  You’d think that the people of Darien, Connecticut weren’t used to that sort of thing by now!  However, they must have been taken by surprise, because Naked Jesus caused a five-car […]

You might call Yukako Ichikawa an Asian version of the famous Soup Nazi from Seinfeld.  She’s definitely like the Soup Nazi in the fact that her restaurant has more rules than most hospitals.  First and foremost at Wafu, the 30-seat Surry Hills eatery in Sydney, Australia:  clean your plate.  Everything is meant to be eaten, […]

Hells Angels gang leaders are going to be expected to be more like Hells Accountants after the Australian Crime Commission ruled against the biker gang, forcing them to reveal their income sources, employment, and  just how they afford all those cool cars, leather coats, and awesome motorcycles.  After the leadership of the notorious biker gang […]

Every President has some kind of embarrassing relative.  Roger Clinton, Billy Carter, all the Kennedy family members not named John or Robert… there’s always some kind of bad apple in the bunch, usually a no-good brother, who provides a consistent sort of embarrassment for whoever the current sitting President might be.  That’s also true for […]

Aliens exist, and they’ve landed in New Mexico before.  So says a group of concerned citizens from Angel Fire, New Mexico known as the Alliance Studying Paranormal Experiences, who say that after a vigorous investigation, an alien landing is the only explanation for the bizarre markings found in a pasture in Moreno Valley, outside of […]

The middle-aged man in question has been dubbed the “Grim Eater.”  At funerals in Wellington, New Zealand, he’d show up, dressed somberly.  He’d pay his respects to the departed, stay out of the way, and then stuff himself on free food at the funeral home, despite obviously not knowing the recently deceased or any of […]

If your son or daughter is sitting down at breakfast right now, with a big Shrek glass full of orange juice, then you might want to take it from them.  Those cute little painted-on Shrek designs just might be fatal!  McDonald’s is recalling four glasses promoting the movie Shrek Forever After thanks to testing that […]

While she’s not a pudgy budgy, there’s one roly-poly little kookaburra in Australia that has suddenly gone from living the high life and chowing down on sausages to working out three times a day with a personal trainer, eating diet food, and living in a bird-style gymnasium.  The bird was too fat to fly, thanks […]

Australia is a land where strange things just seem to happen.  First, it rains fish in the desert, and now parrots are just falling from the sky.  I can’t explain the raining fish, but as for the lorikeets that are just randomly falling out of trees and dropping to the ground in mid-flight?  Apparently, those […]

The automotive industry has gotten just a little bit smaller.  Joining Oldsmobile on the scrap heap of former brands shelved by their creators, Ford Motor Company has announced that their venerable Mercury brand would be closing down after the 2010 year.  Mercury was started in 1939 by Edsel Ford, son of Ford founder Henry Ford, […]
